Chic AND Country? It's no contradiction, but a playful, imaginative, and popular new decorating style that combines nostalgia and serenity, irony and intimacy, deft detailing with naturalness. Hundreds of photos display ways to make your home country chic, using old, familiar furniture, family heirlooms, and flea market finds. Choose Seaside Cottage style, Rustic Cabin, Summer Getaway, or five other fully-developed design schemes as you transform each room of your house through decorative use of old fabrics, quilts, cooking utensils, china, baskets, frames, lamps, toys, trunks, shelves, plants, and other lost finds. Your new arrangements will delight--and they're more fun and practical than remodeling.The author is editor of Country Homes and Gardens Book Club. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
