Customer Reviews

My Style!

Finally, a book that reflects my decorating style! For years I have taken bits and pieces of several styles and mixed them up into "my style" and now I know the name for it--"Formal Country". It is neither "stuffy" formal nor "primative" country. It is a refined casual that reflects an appreciation of the artistry of formal and country. Every page of this book brings an "Oh, yes" to my lips. This book is a joy!

Formal country, great book!

This book experiments with different shades of country style, from the Santa Fe to the European Tuscany or Provence, displaying the versatility that country decoration can have, departing from the traditional decoration ideas one may have. The photographs offer an amazing display of the richness and colorfulness of the different settings that make possible to visualize the match of these many different styles to the country warmth. This book is great for its innovative approach and its simplicity in the combination of elements and the degree of contrast one may play with.
