Casual, country decorating can be a forum for one’s artistic outlet. In a Country Hearth & Home design, we can take the old, outdated, scrap items and redesign, refurbish and repurpose them into useful, unique additions to our homes. There is a lot of leeway in country design. It’s individual – if you like it and it works for you, it’s in! It’s about making the space work for you with your favorite color scheme, displaying favorite treasured family pieces and including your own craft items to create your individualized Country Hearth & Home.

The popular home design of late is open with rooms flowing easily from one to the next. Families need togetherness in the great room while the cooks prepare the meal in the adjoining kitchen. The same is true of "Country Hearth & Home" entertaining.

The meal preparation becomes a part of the event as friends and family gather in the kitchen. The country kitchen takes advantage of a variety of materials often with open shelving displaying kitchenware. It’s colorful and organized with perhaps a touch of whimsy. 

Needlework and other crafts can be an integral part of Country Hearth & Home. They can include a piece framed on the wall, a quilt on a bed, a throw over the back of the sofa, a sampler handed down through the generations. They all can contribute to the ambience in a Country Hearth & Home style living space. All of your personal crafts can be a part of the décor. Include your scrapbooks, family photographs, tole painting, woodworking, flowers & gardening and anything else that strikes passion in you.

Country Hearth & Home is not just physical. It is a lifestyle that embraces the warmth of family, friends in casual, comfortable surroundings with food, music and clothing that complement. It affirms individuality and promotes harmony in relationships. It is warmth, love and togetherness exemplified. It commands all of our senses to take in its dimensions. It is exciting in an inviting manner. It is a chance to be ourselves instead of who we think we should be. Country Hearth & Home is about memories of a simpler, less complicated time and celebrates the values of that time period.

Country Hearth & Home can be the unique blend of a throwback to a simpler lifestyle while endorsing the individuality that can make it uniquely your own.
