Review:

Taking on home décor for both inside and outdoor living, McColl collects the best ideas from past issues of Country Living magazine. Close to 300 photographs show 287 tips for storage, display, furnishings, and color. Much is made of repurposing items . . . Instructions are included for more than 25 projects, such as creating curtain tiebacks from silver flatware and transforming an old dresser into a wet bar. Many ideas are quite simple and incorporate suggestions on the use of paint and advice for displaying one's creations. VERDICT: Amateur decorators will find a wealth of inspiration for enhancing their country-style home.” —Library Journal
