Angled ceilings, above, add architectural interest to the boudoir, a haven of florals. “Go into a garden,” says the homeowner, “and see what nature does.” Opening that door has ushered in a breath of fresh air, renewing this sylvan sanctuary and the designer who calls it home.

Ahhhh… nothing like a simple and proper English country cottage to make my heart race !!
Of all the rooms pictured, my favourite is indeed the kitchen – with the Aga playing it’s important role as the center of all life’s activities! With the welcoming and comfortable chair by its side, the quaint kitchen exudes warmth and hospitality!
I could move in today…..
God bless !

Hi Lois, unfortunately we do not have copies of the 1999 issues for sale. Many readers sell their back issues on the web at Amazon, eBay, etc. Best.
