PRODUCT INFORMATION

Summary

Description

Farmhouse is a word that conjures an array of appealing associations: fresh eggs and baby lambs, wooden beams and flagged floors, cream teas and harvest suppers; a place of welcome and plenty. With their generous kitchens and meandering layout, the architectural informality and inviting comfort of the farmhouse suits modern lifestyles. In Perfect English Farmhouse, Ros Byam Shaw continues her exploration of English interiors as she surveys both traditional and contemporary farmhouse style via a series of 23 case studies. The book is divided into chapters according to style: Organic, Traditional, Fresh, No Frills and Funky, and at the end of each chapter a spread highlights the key elements of that particular decorative look.
