Wonderful Classic Country book, highly reommended

I recommend this book for the ones who like country style in the elegant way with an little dose of Shabby Chic. It is very tasteful, pleasant to read, beautiful pictures, this book is highly recommended for the ones who love the home decor in a traditional style. All seems very comfortable also, not stiff, really livable. Great ideas for everyone's home.

Goes beyond most interior design topics to consider the broader scope of form, function and choice

Kathy Ireland is among the world's most influential interior and fabric designers, and in CLASSIC COUNTRY she shows how her fabrics blend with those of other designers. Any library strong in interior design needs this: it offers detailed explanations of how to use patterns, textures and color to maximum advantage, and it packs in color examples throughout. Very highly recommended, it goes beyond most interior design topics to consider the broader scope of form, function and choice.
