Country style is characterized by an enjoyment of the good things in life, a respect for simplicity, natural materials, and a sense of place, and, above all, a feeling for home, comfort, and individuality. In this beautifully illustrated book Emma-Louise O'Reilly takes a fresh look at this popular decor. She reveals that despite its regard for traditional values, country style is moving towards a more pared down look, in which architecture and space provide the cues. The quintessential country home is explored in irresistible detail, from the perfect setting - whether a farmhouse on the Isle of Mull, a converted mill in Greece, or a log cabin on the coast of Maine - to each room in the house, and to the perfect outdoor room where the garden and its produce can be fully enjoyed.
