In this fresher, updated look, the wall plaques and ruffled plaids may no longer be present, but the overall look is still casual, informal and inviting.

Antique pieces, distressed wood (from age or intentional) of pine, oak and maple are staples of country home decorating case goods. There are many great sources of new furniture that provide that 'got this from my grandmother' look, and are well-made, too - a big plus!

Fabrics are no longer cute ginghams and plaids in red, green and blue. Textile choices should remain organic, informal and durable, but the pattern and color schemes may vary, depending on homeowner taste.

Select your color scheme early on in the project, determining the two or three colors that will make up your palette, and add one or two accent colors. Then stick with the plan to ensure that your space retains that 'put together' look.

And please remember that country home decorating doesn't mean cluttered and flea-market-like.

You can showcase your collectibles, such as glassware, baskets, candles or whatever your passion is, and display them in a way that highlights rather than makes them disappear in the crowd. How? Keep the pieces in groups of no more than three, and vary the size and shape of the vignette.

Whatever you decide to use as an accent in your country style home, make sure it is something that you love and enjoy having around every day, and that will be your secret to success.

Country style decor is practical, so look for ways to make your pieces multi-task, or give them a new function. For example, if you find a hand-woven basket that you love and must have, use it for storage, too.

The antique nightstand that you picked up at the flea market may have a place in the guest bathroom as a small storage unit.

Whether your unique interpretation of country style decorating is rustic, casual and primitive, or updated, fresh and simple...decorate from the heart with pieces you love and you will be pleased with the result.
