Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

This is not your grandmother's farmhouse, with gingham checks and ruffled curtains. Modern country is a look that is sleek, chic, and imaginative. It takes traditional country style to a new level, blending old with new, and mixing periods and patterns.
The style introduces hard edges to classic country looks. It calls forth chrome and glass, metals and leather, to blend with the rustic softness of country style. Collections and knick-knacks are pared-down-reduced and refined-with few frills. What counts is how you display your treasures and how you add contemporary or industrial items to the classic country mix.
The homes featured in Modern Country are those of people who respect the decorating traditions of the past but look to the future with the freshness of new ideas. What they all share is imagination. They have created a look in their homes that is as comfortable as classic country, while adding the surprising flair of modern country. It is a look we think you will love.
