A disappointment! Unexpected from this series.

Country Living design books are normally nicely done. A departure from that, this one has some issues. The text is fairly well-written. The images are nice, even if many of them have appeared in previous CL books. But the book is riddled with mistakes, typos, horrible and obvious photoshopping, deleted sentences, partial sentences and mismatched photo/caption pairs. There is one whole section which doesn't seem to match the photos at all. It's a pretty book with fun photos, and if this is your style, like it is mine, it's nice eye candy. But don't expect any new insight into design. Maybe you're a book editor in training and want some practice?

The pictures are nice...

The pictures of vintage inspired interiors are nice, but the book definitely panders to readers of Country Living magazine (the publishers of the book). The paragraphs accompanying each photo are written at a 4th grade reading level, explaining to readers what a "collection" is, and how to go about making a "collection" to display in your "retro" kitchen. Ugh.

Great Ideas

I found some great ideas for making a new home look older in this book. If you are a dedicated Country Living reader (like me) perhaps they won't be "new" to you, but it is a good resource to be able to find them all in one place. When we downsize, we're going to have to give up our gracious old home and I want to be able to add charm to wherever we end up. This is an excellent collection of tips to help age a home instantly - even a brand new condo.
