Partial Synopsis from Good Reads: Romantic Prairie Style embraces simple pleasures, comfort and the long-cherished ideals of natural beauty, simplicity and harmony with the earth.
My Thoughts: Can you tell I am still trying to tweak my recently painted Home Office? Thank goodness my public library has a large home decor section! This book contains stunning photography! Many of the shots include family pets, which always make me smile! For my old rock farmhouse built in 1935, this book is chock full of lovely ideas. Not only are the pieces in these homes beautiful, they also serve a purpose. In my modest cottage, everything needs to be functional. My favorite quote in the book comes from Lisa Adkins on Page 125. “I don’t try to make things fit a certain look,” she says, “I love what I love.” Me, too! 😉
