Growing up in a home that eschewed popular styles for well-worn furniture and whitewashed walls, interior designer Leggett developed an affection for this country look. Here, she visits a baker's dozen of houses, including those of singer Sheryl Crow and country music band Little Big Town's Phillip Sweet. The styles range from cozy traditional to sleek modern, all with "shabby chic" touches. Leggett identifies the decorative accessories, furniture, and finishings that define the farmhouse style with choices for color, textiles, and wallpaper highlighted and shown in 200 color photographs. She concludes with a list of flea markets and vintage stores as well as online resources. VERDICT With Leggett's guidance, these visits into farmhouse decorated homes provide the do-it-yourselfer with ideas for decorating their own abodes.
