Country Living American Style: Decorate * Create * Celebrate

by Country Living (Editor)

Overview

Country Living celebrates all-American design from sea to shining sea: quaint New England towns, dusty Texas ranches, woodsy log cabins, and Main Street, Anywhere, USA. Here are our country's most beloved styles on vivid display—its architecture, ornaments, textiles, and other more humble items—along with secrets for recreating this inviting look at home and mixing up the old and the new. Sidebars explore iconic US companies like Fiesta Ware, L.L Bean, and Thomas Moser furniture, while lush photography throughout captures the vibrant spirit of the red, white, and blue.

Editorial Reviews

10/01/2015
Photographs that have appeared in Country Living magazine are gathered here to showcase interiors that incorporate an American style decor. The captions for the close to 200 color photographs point out the ways in which the rooms—kitchens, dining rooms, bathrooms, bedrooms—are uniquely American in the choice of color, soft furnishings, furniture, and decorative accessories. Interspersed throughout are features on American businesses, such as Homer Laughlin China Co. and Iverson Snowshoes. The title wraps up with a few holiday decorating ideas. VERDICT Since the country decorating style, with its mix of new furnishings and flea market finds, continues in popularity, this book will give amateur decorators additional inspiration.
