Interior designer Sheila Bridges goes a little bit country.
Get more great style tips and step-by-steps from Sheila in her weekly Designer Living series on FINE LIVING Network.
Country style furnishings are casual and comfortable — pieces have high, cushioned backs and large, rolled arms.
Woods are light and grainy, painted or distressed.
Fabrics are plaid, floral or striped.
Personal touches bring a country home to life.
For a country kitchen look, take anything that comes in a bag or a box and place it in a glass jar.
Tarnished metal is a result of exposure to a source of sulfur in the air.
In the 18th and 19th centuries, pinewood was considered low quality, which is why it was often painted.
Shop for vintage accessories and country-style furniture like a pro — bring a Polaroid camera, a pad and a pen and the most crucial item, a tape measure.
