Incase you haven't noticed, I've been loving Country Living Mag. lately. Don't be fooled, it's not all chintzy florals and rooster collections, they have a great grasp on what it means as a lifestyle. It can be modern, retro, or casual, and it's not your grandma's "country." Anyway, in their Feb. issues they featured two houses, both very different, and both worth sharing.
House 1 - simple with a Scandinavian design smarts

I like the home office/sewing room in the photo above.
Home 2 showcases great antique finds - some splurges, some bargains.

Don't worry, the zebra skin is faux.
