Romantic Country Style

Romantic country style implies serenity, classic charm, and cozy comfort. This book shows how to create the essence of this style in any home -- even if it doesn't happen to be a cottage in Sussex -- with inspiring photos of classic kitchens, relaxed family living rooms, tranquil bedrooms, and country gardens.To help readers achieve this look in their personal surroundings, Romantic Country Style provides practical techniques such as how to use paint to maximize indoor light, how brick and stone floorings can be used for a rustic look, and advice for using wallpaper without overwhelming a room. Suggestions for creating an inviting entryway, transforming a hallway with painted floorboards and a rag rug, and using houseplants to create the feel of a country garden inside work equally well in an apartment or a house.
