Country House Living, by Nora Murphy

For Nora Murphy, a country house isn't so much a place as it is a state of mind.  A country house is warm, welcoming - at once down to earth, yet elegant. Here Nora Murphy explores the tenets of country house style, as illustrated by her own "new" country house, and the many other striking homes she has curated for the book. Common threads weave through the stories:  the thrill of the antiques hunt, the role of history, and the priority of comfort.
