- Includes easy-to-follow projects for country-inspired furnishings and decorations. Country Style is associated with simple, natural comforts--the warm glow of a winter fire of floral fabrics swaying in a cool summer breeze at an open window. As Liz Bauwens and Alexandra Campbell show, these are features that can be recreated in all types of home. - Exquisite photography by Simon Brown. With chapters looking at ways of bringing the country into a city home, creating a relaxed kitchen, and choosing colors and fabrics, "Easy Cottage Style" shows you how easily traditional styles can be transformed to enhance relaxed modern living. - Learn how to give your interiors comfort and warmth with fabrics, colors and materials normally found far from the city. Every room can be given its own taste of rustic charm: the kitchen made warm and comfortable, the bedroom soft and romantic, the living room natural and tranquil
A little underwhelming at fist anonymousinChicago At first read,I wished I'd just gotten this book from my local library. It seemed unlikely to be a book I would refer to for inspiration and ideas. Some of the interiors were downright dingy and depressing (the kitchen from all scraps and found materials just looked like you'd expect it to look-cold, uninviting and plain ghastly). The cover picture is the most fetching / captivating photo of the entire book.(I considered returning this book weighing cost of shipping back vs. money already spent and decided on keeping).I have since reread it and have to. IDEAS!! Filled with ideas for Cottage owners and those who want to be, very great ideas for organization and decorating, absolutely wonderful and also great to have on the coffee table so others can take a peek if they liked too!!. "Delightful book" according to Beverley Leonie. I purchased this book based on reviews posted and I am not disappointed. It's a blend of cottage and country styles. After going through the text, the beautiful photos will continue to enchant me.
