Scandinavian Country: A Little Sytle Book

I love Scandinavian architecture and have read every book I can find on the subject. As does this book, the best of them have excellent photography. Scandinavian Country also has excellent writing. It is a history of each Scandinavian countries decorating style. The author devotes a section of the book to each of the four Scandinavian countries (Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland) decorating styles. For example the author tells how the Finnish have a very simple, rustic decorating style, while the Swedish have a much more ornate style. The Fins like secluded living. The Norwegians are excellent wookworkers, which they use to advantage in all of houselhold funishings and kitchen utensils. Of all the Scandinavian countries Norway has been the most resistant to changing their traditional decorating style. Denmark gives us Danish modern furniture, which I love. Danish modern features natural fabrics and woods, eloquent yet simple design and practicality, which make it a standout. Our Danish modern dining room table has the extension boards built right into it. Leave it to the Scandinavians to think of this.
