Colors and textures, collections and trash-to-treasure, country style is anything you want it to be. It’s birdhouses and old washtubs, rustic lighting and rag rugs. It’s peaceful, calming, and everything that is feel-good about a home. Most importantly, it’s personal, and often home-made. Here you’ll find directions for simple, fun, hand-made primitive crafts and ideas for country style.

  • Moppets are mopin' as schools reopen. Nights are crisp, and apples crisper; in the wind, there's just a whisper of what's coming. Rain drumming, warm but steady, mutters, "Get ready."
