English Country (Architecture and Design Library)

Book Description
The English country house was originally designed as a retreat from the hustle and bustle of London life, for cultivating leisure time and sipping afternoon tea, for hunting, fishing, drawing, painting-it exemplifies the essence of English country living. The style presents a commingling of periods, styles, patterns, and colors, and well-chosen furniture, fabrics, and accessories show an appreciation for the antique: the true nature of the English country house expresses a lovely combination of shabbiness and luxury. With an informative text, gorgeous full-color photography, and a wealth of ideas, the Architecture and Design Library's English Country will inspire you to incorporate the English country style into your own home.
