WHAT MAKES IT
COUNTRY?
AUTHENTICITY
RULES “True country style for me means nothing
that is contrived.”
“That doesn’t mean that you need to decorate with prized,
pedigreed antiques, but with so many wonderful castoff treasures out there.”
FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION
“If you have kids and pets, bare floors and
washable slipcover areas are a must. My home is meant to be enjoyed by everyone
in my family.”
PATINA “And don’t prêt over it. When someone runs into a piece of
furniture in my house and leaves a mark on the wood, my quip is. ‘That’s the
look we’re going for!”
FINDING BEAUTY IN EVERYDAY “I love to celebrate plain fibers by using them in place of luxurious ones. For me it’s a simple country valance I made for my window in my old house a few years back, makes a country perfect window treatment for the living room”
