Brings country style up to date

This book is wonderfully fresh and current. It brings country style up to date and avoids the usual country clichés. Very inspirational yet filled with ideas too. I'd say that this book is a must for anyone who loves casual country style.

A lovely getaway book. Also see Second Home.

This is a book to escape into. As a designer, I appreciate the well-designed homes and interiors and the fact that this book puts a fresh 2001 spin on a classic design style. It looks to me as if most of the featured homes are vacation or weekend homes, which may explain the casual,freewheeling feeling that the photographs impart. This is one of two favorite books on my reading table at the moment. The other favorite is another yummy getaway book - called Second Home - which shows a broader range of home and interior design styles, all set in fabulous getaway locations.

If you love country style, you have to have this

This is a must-have for any country style lover. It isn't a look back but an up-to-date look at where the style is today. I found dozens of ideas for updating the country style I have loved for years. I was especially pleased to see that Mary Emmerling (a sort of country guru) was involved in this book and wrote part of it.

Beautiful and surprising

I read Country Home magazine, but I disagree with the reviewer who said that he or she has seen all the houses before. I have not seen all these homes, but I do recognize a few, which I am thrilled to see printed on book (versus thin magazine) paper and bound into a book I can keep forever. This book is so fresh, and while I lean toward the classic country looks, I love seeing newer, almost modern variations on the theme. Touring one house after another is a real treat, especially because the page size of this book is larger than most other decorating books I've seen.
