Country Living Merry & Bright: 301 Festive Ideas for Celebrating Christmas

This book is one I treasure all year long. It has some of the most unique Christmas decor ideas that I have been able to find. It has ideas for all tastes not just those who like the vintage or country style. You will not regreat purchasing this book.

If your idea of beautiful home is one that is minimal and modern, this book is probably not for you. But for those of us whose homes are layered with memories of Christmases past, family heirlooms, antiques and even with finds from online auctions, this books is of great interest. I loved the fresh looks using vintage items, and the greenery varieties, and the lovely homey look of the rooms in the photos. The book even some very exceptional cookie recipes! I am inspired, and am already planning on using some of the ideas in my home this Christmas.

If you search for something which keeps the Christmas tradition and brings some extra original ideas and items, this book is quite for you. The cover is as beautiful as the inside, the text is easy to read, actually it is more long comments about the amazing photos. When I bought it, I was afraid that it would be just another book about Christmas, always the same stuff, but actually it brings something new, by keeping the traditional feel of this holiday. It is so gorgeous, that we could be tempted to keep these decors the whole year. There also are recipes for holidays at the end, what can be useful. I have been pleasantly surprised when I received it and it is certainly a book I will keep forever.

Country Living Merry & Bright is full of the country Christmas spirit. Antiques, collectibles, nature and tradition mix with new ideas and ways to put them to holiday use. Everything you need to make it a country Christmas. Beautiful and inspiring photos. Packed with recipes and holiday cheer.
