Country Living Stylish Makeovers Design Ideas for Every Room

Twenty years of Country Living knowledge, and a glimpse into real renovations, shows home decorators how to complete their own projects, and redo their own houses, in a style they'll cherish for years to come. Drawing on more than two decades of architectural documentary, Country Living has created this visually dazzling guide offering practical, elegant ideas for home decoration projects both large and small. Every residence shown is real, and the profiles of actual renovations range from a converted barn to a log cabin to an updated Greek Revival Home. Insider's Advice tip boxes feature everything from sprucing up aging wood floors to reglazing vintage pedestal sinks. Go room by room, enjoying the creative ways of intensifying color and style, preserving period detailing, adding space to a too-small place (while melding the old with the new), salvaging mantels, choosing window treatments, installing lighting fixtures, painting stenciled finishes, repairing the roof, hiring contractors, and lots more.Murphy, Rhoda J. is the author of 'Country Living Stylish Makeovers Design Ideas for Every Room', published 2004 under ISBN 9781588164025 and ISBN 1588164020.
