The Best Part of this Book is it’s Cover!, November 22, 2010

I love the cover. But that’s probably the best part. Besides the fact that it was printed in CHINA (a definite negative), Some of the pictures seem very familiar; seen in past magazines/books. Not too much new here… and many of the pictures were used at least twice on different pages of the book.

The pictures are nice…, November 26, 2010

The pictures of vintage inspired interiors are nice, but the book definitely panders to readers of Country Living magazine (the publishers of the book). The paragraphs accompanying each photo are written at a 4th grade reading level, explaining to readers what a “collection” is, and how to go about making a “collection” to display in your “retro” kitchen. Ugh.

I found some great ideas for making a new home look older in this book. If you are a dedicated Country Living reader (like me) perhaps they won’t be “new” to you, but it is a good resource to be able to find them all in one place. When we downsize, we’re going to have to give up our gracious old home and I want to be able to add charm to wherever we end up. This is an excellent collection of tips to help age a home instantly – even a brand new condo.
