(Please enjoy this Better After Flashback from 2011. Happy Saturday!)
Have you ever heard someone say “I love EVERY type of music! Well, except country and rap.” I’m almost inclined to agree, but I actually like quite a bit of rap. Country … is … not really my thing. Sorry. Same with design. I love EVERYTHING, I really do. Modern, transitional, industrial, minimalist, bohemian, you name it. Except country and rap. (If you don’t think “rap” is a design style, you haven’t watched a lot of MTV Cribs. Usually involves at least one framed Scarface poster).
So I would probably have avoided this very hunter-green, country-fied sofa table, but once again, white paint saves the day. It looks so elegant and very French-country, which is worlds away from regular ol’ country. I can’t speak for French-country music though.

November 15, 2014 at 8:35 PMI used to say the same thing! There were things I liked from every style, Old World, Mid- Century Modern, Industrial, Modern… I said I liked everything except Country. Now, I am straight up country. What I thought country was was pretty outdated… blue and white ducks and gingham curtains. I totally love what country is today though! Country Living is one of my favorite magazines, especially their white issue. So yeah… functional, practical pieces with clean lines, warm wood tones with neutrals- heavy on the white, mix in a little farmhouse and chippy furniture (which I know you don’t like)… sign me up!
