Country
Living Your House, Your Home: Randy Florke's Decorating Essentials (Country
Living)
by Randy Florke, Nancy Becker
Hardcover: 192 pages
Publisher: Hearst (June 1, 2005)
ISBN: 158816411X |
| Interior decorator and Country
Living contributing editor Randy Florke hails from Iowa-and his inviting design style
captures the warmth and homey appeal of heartland America. Every beautiful color
photograph here presents real-life examples of rooms that radiate charm and practically
invite readers to step inside and make themselves at home. Using a friendly, personal
approach, 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. |
