Country Living Simple Country Wisdom
Try siting in every chair in the room for about half an hour.
Is it comfortable? You should never keep a piece of furniture you don't like sitting in—even if it's a chair that only gets used when company comes. What kind of logic is that? While you're sitting there, you might also try reading a book or having a cup of tea. How's the lighting? Is there a place to set your teacup? Oh, that's right. You decided a lamp would spoil the room's look entirely, and no one should be drinking tea there anyway because the cup might leave a ring. While you're holding on to your teacup, evaluate the room's emotional effect. Do you feel at ease and confident, or do you feel that maybe you should leave so someone tidier or more elegant—someone without a teacup—should be sitting in your spot? It's amazing how many people feel ill-at-ease or inconvenienced by the rooms they live in, but assume that everyone else feels comfortable and maybe even a bit envious of them."

I loved it! I gave one to my sister and another to my daughter and plan to buy myself a copy. I recommend it as a shower gift for every new bride. I also was impressed with the way the book was laid out - it's an easy read and the photos are great and quite inviting. Thank you. Carmen

Have not completely savored this book but already know that I am going to enjoy it cover to cover. I have referred to the chapters on cleaning, laundry care and clutter control. Very helpful. This is a great book for giftgiving.
