Romantic
Prairie Style
By Fifi O'neill
Hardcover: 160 pages ISBN: 9781907563195
Publisher: Ryland Peters & Small (April 1, 2011) |
| A style inspired by the honesty of
homespun materials of the past wedded to a flair for the present. Here interiors bear the
influence of European settlers and the poetry of the heart-warming authenticity of simple,
natural textures, hand-hewn beams, bleached wood, weathered planks, woven blankets,
cow-hide and Navajo rugs. |

Country
Living Your House, Your Home: Randy Florke's Decorating Essentials (Country
Living)
by Randy Florke, Nancy Becker
Hardcover: 192 pages ISBN: 158816411X
Publisher: Hearst (June 1, 2005) |
| Real-life examples of rooms that
radiate charm and practically invite readers to step inside and make themselves at home.
Florke explores what he calls the "three muses" of design: comfort, economy, and
color. Comfort resides in line-dried quilts and overstuffed sofas. Economy means items
chosen from flea markets, thrift stores, or grandmother's attic. Country color is the
faded blue of crockery and the pale shades of damask tablecloths. Anyone hoping to
transform a home from ordinary to extraordinary will find thrifty and stylish ways to
design. |
