Impressive. I was expecting tacky monstrosities showcasing 'classic Americana' style (my least favorite decorating approach, incidentally.) Instead, I found some terrific examples of attractive interior design with a wholesome spin. Nothing artificial, and absent the ultra-trendy (read: sanitized and devoid of character or interest) looks of contemporary homes. This book is great. (It helps that I like Laura Ashley generally.)

We live in a Tudor cottage and this book is perfect ideas and information for a pleasant living spaces. I would recommend this book, published in 1992, for anyone who likes the English countryside look in their home.
