5+ A Delightful Book

I really loved this book. As one reviewer commented, the pictures definately make you wish for a home by a fjord. They alone are well worth the price of the book. Every so often,I page through the book again and enjoy it as much as the first time I looked through it. I disagree with the reviewer who complained about the quality of the writing. The text explained the photographs, which made them so much more meaningful. For example, Scandinavian countries have a very short summer. Because of this people spend every moment of the long summer days they can out of doors. They don't need fancy outdoor furniture for tea or meals. A couple of chairs and a small table will do nicely. Also, becuase of the long dark winters, Scandinavians love to paint and deorate their homes in bright colors. They almost always have natural pine or handwood floors and wood furnishings. Because of it's simple and oh so appealing decorating style, this book has influenced the way I decorate.
