Of course I was
.......thrilled........
the book looks absolutely
fabulous!!!
and if you remember my post
just a couple weeks ago
on an amazing stylist, Tricia Foley...
her beautiful Long Island cottage home is also featured in
"At Home with Country"
along with homes from England, Sag Harbor
and Cape Cod!
{ooooooh are we liking this or what??}

which is like a little
sneak preview.....

"At Home With Country"
and what you can look forward to.....
just enough to pique your interest...
it's fabulous.....is all I can say...
and the book is just like the title says...
"bringing the comforts of country home!"
how to make our homes feel inviting...
"how every room should exude a welcoming relaxed atmosphere while remaining functional and practical" * ("At Home with Country" page 5, Christina Strutt)
but the best part is....
I will be posting
my
interview
