Customer Reviews

Not your grandma's farmhouse!

This is a lovely book that I read over and over again. If you don't live in a farmhouse, you will want to after you see the inside of this book. Inside you will find lovely homes that inspire and relax you. The photography is beautiful. This book makes a wonderful contribution to any "interior design" library.

american farmhouses

this is a very nice and informative book anybody who likes country and primitive will surely enjoy this book

a new must=have for country decorating

This book could revolutionize and galvanize traditional country decorating, much like Mary Emmerling's American Country did when it was first published. If you buy only one decorating book, this should be it. Not a bad photo in the whole book. I am thrilled with it!

Sumptuous and Informative

As a devotee of country style and an admirer of farmhouses around the northeast, I found this book to be charming. A cross between a coffee table book and a reference guide, it's the kind of thing you can pick up and peruse easily without having to read straight through. It's refreshingly useful-with just enough historical information for the nonacademic. I learn something new every time I refer to it. Yet it's lovely to page through, which also makes it a great Christmas gift for anyone who loves country style. The nicest thing of its kind to come on the market in a while.
