decorative details and delicious recipes
The Country Home shows how you can introduce different aspects of country living into your life, no matter where you live. Each of the four chapters country style, country crafts, country gifts and the kitchen ¿ introduce us to a different element of the country home. There are colourful paint effects for walls, floors, fabrics and ceramics, as well as ways in which to introduce country-style motifs to your home. If you enjoy craft projects, there are instructions on how to make a patchwork quilt, a wirework window box edging, and a pressed flower notebook. There are plenty of natural gift ideas too, from wreaths and posies to dried and fresh flower arrangements. Finally, the last chapter presents traditional recipes from the country kitchen. There are indulgent desserts, sweets and plenty of recipes that have stood the test of time, from chocolate brownies to scones, as well as home-made bread.
