DREAMY

I bought this book when it first came out and have probably looked through it over a hundred times since then. It's a perfect blend of what is modern and traditional in Italian country interiors and I would be happy to live in any of these rooms. I love this book.

WONDERFUL BOOK JOURNEY IN THE LAND OF GENTLE PEOPLE

Italian Country Living TRAVEL WITH THE AUTHORESS INTO THE LAND OF GENTLE, CULTURED PEOPLE OF ITALY. THIS BOOK IS VERY NICELY ILLUSTRATED IN LARGE PICTURES AND SELECT COMMENTS. I ENJOYED THE JOURNEY AND WILL TRAVEL WITHIN ITS RICH PAGES AGAIN SOON.

Let's move to Italy

Move to Italy or buy a second home in Tuscany - and start decorating it! That's what you will want to do after closing and putting down "Italian Country Living" by Caroline Clifton-Mogg. Homes rustic and eclectic, contemporary and traditional - they are all so down-to-earth and so charming, breathtakingly beautiful. Ok, don't move to Italy. Read the "Elements" chapter and make youself your own little Italy at home.

TAKE ME AWAY!

Intersting homes are featured in this book with some unpredictable decorating. It has great photography of the homes as well as fantastic views on some of the featured properties. I also recommend French Country Living by the same author.

Book was so interesting, I accidently purchased one that I already had

The seller says I will receive a credit, and allowed me to return the book. It is a nice book, not exceptional; good addition to references.
