The Country Home Summary

The Country Home by Tessa Evelegh

This inspirational book looks at different aspects of traditional country lifestyle and shows how to reflect this in your own home. There are tips on choosing fabrics, from fresh floral to smart checks and stripes. Finishing details such as embroidery for linen are demonstrated, and there are ideas for charming accessories including picture frames and lampshades. There are large-scale projects such as floor stencilling and smaller ones such as fresh flower arrangements. Also included are traditional recipes that make the most of the harvest crop from a rich fruit loaf to light scones with home-made jam, as well as bottles preserves. Finally, make the most of garden produce to make country circlets and garlands, posies and edible displays.

The Country Home Reviews

Pretty florals, gingham checks, delicate wirework and home-baking all add up to a country style replicated in towns and cities across the country, bringing a little rural peace into otherwise hectic city lives. Redolent of nature, the style encapsulates an earlier era and its undated look has been popular for decades. Here, Simona Hill brings a lavishly illustrated guide to the country look with ideas and inspiration galore. Make your own pretty jam pot covers, wall friezes, barley garlands and gingham cushions; sit back and enjoy home-baked cakes, cookies and sweets. Paradoxically incorporating the use of the latest technology such as image processing and food processors, she shows how you can replicate the country style onto fabrics and into kitchens. A pretty book full of simple and attractive ideas, it is ideal for any country home lover or handyperson being a treasure trove of attractive presents to make and give. - Lucy Watson
