The Rustic Home by Ralph Kylloe
Ralph Kylloe takes a fascinating look into the different options we’re given when it comes to decorating for a country ambiance. At the same time though it gives you a look into some of the different aspects of the lives that are forefathers lead, and how they lived. I think that even if you aren’t interested in styling your home with ideas you’ll find in the book, the look into the aesthetics of their lives is absolutely fascinating.
