Enjoy the ease and charm of country style, no matter where you live. With 750 tips from the editors at Country Living, this far-reaching, sumptuously photographed book is your guide to every aspect of the good life. Country decorating is all about feeling comfortable and relaxed. The characteristic furnishings are not only appealing, but also practical. Hand-painted tile back-splashes add bright color to a kitchen and stand up well when exposed to cooking steam, while louvered shutters look inviting whether they're closed to provide privacy or open to let sunlight in. Antiques are essential to this style for both their beauty and the history they evoke. Learn what to look for in the antiques that are popular with collectors. Detailing and size, for example, affect the value of whimsical chocolate molds. Be sure to consider the crispness of the colors and patterns on brown-and-white transferware. Country crafts are an integral part of country decor. Try striking yetsimple projects like these to fill your home with warmth and personality: a colorful berry and vine wreath enlivens a front door, pretty pressed-leaf curtains bring the outdoors in, and a padded headboard dresses up a bed. The romance of country is epitomized in the garden, where you can get away from the everyday world in your own lush haven. Follow the tips for planting grass in and around your garden and you'll have a beautiful lawn to be proud of. Plant hydrangeas -- they stage a brilliant transformation from the sky blues, purples, and pinks into gorgeous autumnal hues after most flowering shrubs and perennials have gone for the season. Then take advantage of all your hard work by planning a late-summer garden party! One of the best features of country living is delicious, home-style cooking. Add to your recipe collection with such comfort foods as Cranberry Cornmeal Pancakes, Chutney-Glazed Pork Tenderloin, Americana Potato Salad, and Pear Maple Upside-Down Cake. Bonus: Close-up profiles of country icons, including Adirondack chairs, wedding ring quilts, watering cans, and more. Book jacket.

"Mix in one part Diane Mott Davidson’s delightful culinary adventures with several tablespoons of Jan Karon’s country living and quirky characters, bake at 350 degrees for one rich and warm romance." --Library Journal A full-hearted novel about a big-city baker who discovers the true meaning of home—and that sometimes the best things are found when you didn’t even know you were looking When Olivia Rawlings—pastry chef extraordinaire for an exclusive Boston dinner club—sets not just her flambéed dessert but the entire building alight, she escapes to the most comforting place she can think of—the idyllic town of Guthrie, Vermont, home of Bag Balm, the country’s longest-running contra dance, and her best friend Hannah. But the getaway turns into something more lasting when Margaret Hurley, the cantankerous, sweater-set-wearing owner of the Sugar Maple Inn, offers Livvy a job. Broke and knowing that her days at the club are numbered, Livvy accepts. Livvy moves with her larger-than-life, uberenthusiastic dog, Salty, into a sugarhouse on the inn’s property and begins creating her mouthwatering desserts for the residents of Guthrie. She soon uncovers the real reason she has been hired—to help Margaret reclaim the inn’s blue ribbon status at the annual county fair apple pie contest. With the joys of a fragrant kitchen, the sound of banjos and fiddles being tuned in a barn, and the crisp scent of the orchard just outside the front door, Livvy soon finds herself immersed in small town life. And when she meets Martin McCracken, the Guthrie native who has returned from Seattle to tend his ailing father, Livvy comes to understand that she may not be as alone in this world as she once thought. But then another new arrival takes the community by surprise, and Livvy must decide whether to do what she does best and flee—or stay and finally discover what it means to belong. Olivia Rawlings may finally find out that the life you want may not be the one you expected—it could be even better.

Of course I had no idea of radio programs or anything so practical in mind when I first saw the little white farm nestling against the hill, flanked by its long perfection of a barn and guarded by the huge ash tree standing between them. I was in love...with the sheer magic of the valley.... So begins this evocative account of rural life, an account so humorous and warmhearted that it is sure to be likened to James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small.
