This is a book for town and country dweller alike. Step by step, it takes the craftsman or woman through each room of a country cottage, providing suggestions and detailed instructions for creating, personalizing and embellishing furnishings with a period flavour. The crafts covered are many and varied. There are instructions for a Durham-style quilt, a needlepoint firescreen, a cross-stitch sampler, a set of teatime accessories and even a sundial - but also for quick and easy items like a stencilled bathroom frieze or a kitchen selection of "bouquet garni".
