Cabins, barns, and farmhouses are Country Living's "stock in trade," and here the editors have assembled close to 200 color photographs, all of which have appeared in their publication, depicting this decorating trend. In homes that range from a 1790s dwelling in New York to those that were newly constructed, the styles depicted for every room of the home include the light-filled spaces reminiscent of a farmhouse, interiors furnished with traditional period pieces, and modern, uncluttered looks accented with unfinished wood. Included are tips on where to find these rustic flourishes and brief descriptions of items such as splatterware and demijohn bottles.
VERDICT The country decorating style continues to appeal, giving this volume a ready audience.
