Amazon.com Review
With lots of full-color photos and plenty of pattern diagrams, Country Decorating provides full directions for more than 80 projects that can, according to the subtitle, Add Country Style, Charm & Color to Every Room in Your Home. Curtains, pillows, blankets, lampshades, frames, shelf edging, tablecloths, decorative accessories, and many other articles can be found here. Refreshingly, most projects avoid the "cute" country look in favor of cozy elegance. (There's even a striking set of items done in Hungarian applique, a sophisticated combination of white on black.) Many of the projects require little or no sewing. Others require more extensive use of the sewing machine, but a decent introductory section reviews all the basics and offers tips for professional-looking finishing touches.
Product Description
These 80 projects show the reader how the right fabric and some basic techniques can inexpensively give every room in the home a new country personality full of colour. Every project is shown in colour photographs.

excellent source for do-it-yourself decorating December 7, 2000

This book has it all for the do-it-yourself with fabric home decorator. Everything from oven mitts, curtain pullbacks, pillows, sofa and chair covers, throws, a tea cozy, lampshades, shelf borders and soft sculpture. The book is organized into rooms - bedrooms, living rooms, nurseries etc. Each room is an opportunity for the author to present a color scheme. Of course the color scheme are interchangeable, and can be changed to suit your own home, but it is an interesting way to organize the book and the ideas into a very useful form. Now many of these projects are not for the 20 minute make-over. A few of the ideas, such as the Hungarian Applique Throw, are more for an entire winter of evenings sewing in front of the fire. Many of the projects are not only time consuming but difficult. But with common sense and patience, I think that all of the projects could be completed successfully with a minimum of sewing experience. There is a helpful chapter in the beginning of the book that describes helpful hints to get started and to achieve the best possible results. This book is a long-term gem. I will probably be picking out projects from here again and again, for years to come. Highly recommended.
