This inspirational book looks at different aspects of the traditional country lifestyle and shows how to reflect this in your own home. There are tips on choosing fabrics, from fresh floral to smart checks and stripes. Finishing details such as embroidery for linen are demonstrated, and there are ideas for charming accessories including picture frames and lampshades.
There are large-scale projects such as floor stencilling and smaller ones such as fresh flower arrangements. Also included are mouth-watering traditional recipes that make the most of the harvest crop from a rich fruit loaf to light scones with home-made jam, as well as bottled preserves.
