BOOK OF THE YEAR

This is the very best deorating and idea book of the year (and in the longest time)! Since I operate my own Country Cottage Decor Store, I hunt for every new book in this category, but none has surprised me more positivly than "Comfortable Country". Wonderful journey from page to page;- Imagine the smell of crisp linens and snuggling into poofy, down pillows! You have to look through it over & over and still see new details. The reading part is also very informativ! WOW-Those pictures are true inspiration! Possible to recreate, no matter what size your budget, home and own skills! Hope to see more from this gifted author;- soon!

Gorgeous

Such a beautiful little book. It's small enough to be able to carry it around in your bag to re-read over a coffee. Lovely pictures.

Gorgeous Book!!

This book is gorgeous!! I would definately buy other titles by this interior designer. This book isn't for anyone who likes traditional, pristine rooms full of pricey new furnishings. If your decorating style is best expressed through an eclectic, artsy mix of vintage, shabby chic, old world/mediterranean, and rustic country furnishings, then you will LOVE this book! It isn't your typical decorating book full of repetitive photographs taken from popular magazines either. Both fresh and stylish, the lovely interior and exterior photographs will inspire the reader in creating their own unique and comfortable home. Two books that are similiar to this one are "Junk Style" by Melanie Molesworth, and "The Comforts of Home" by Atlanta Bartlett. I recommend all three titles.

more than you can expect...!!

This amazing book took my breath away. The color is beautiful, texture is everywhere, the whole thing is just wonderful! This is one of the kinds and MUST SEE!!!!! As soon as I saw this book, i ordered her other books. No regret! and enjoy European country houses.

My kind of country

This book was a nice change of pace from many other country volumes. The photos hadn't been seen in prior issues of country magazines and the text offered suggestions that sparked the imagination. Beautifully useful to display as well. I've got a new 'old' home and can't wait to transform with some Comfortable Country creativity.
