Your house is finally spick and span and you sit down and put your feet up for a minute with a nice cup of coffee by the side of you and you pick away at your muffin. You feel worn out but it’s that good kind of weariness when you know you’ve done a good day’s work and you have no regrets about it. A feeling of contentment settles about you and you look around you with satisfaction.
A magazine lies appealingly within reach and you give in and pull it towards you, intending to enjoy your well-deserved rest. The main cover story jumps right out at you, called Country Home Decor. Naturally you flip through eagerly to that very section, you had just seen an article on turning your house into a small country haven in another magazine and you were interested.
There are pages and pages of the magazine filled with what can only be described as the most ideal examples of country home decor imaginable. You gaze longingly at the various styles and furnishings you see gracing the magazine’s pages. A quick glance up from your magazine reassures you that your own modest abode hasn’t changed somehow instantly into one of those lovely country homes you were just admiring.
A heavy sigh passes your lips at the realization and so you go back to reading the magazine article. You had never thought that you were the sort of person who could live with the country home decor style but now upon reflection you think you just might be able to.
Without your even realising it you find yourself marking the pages that interest you the most, making small mental calculations on how best to achieve the same effect but on the more modest budget that you have at your disposal. After all, it wouldnt do to fork out for that lovely dresser and have to go without your freshly ground whole bean coffee now, would it?
However, you could certainly buy that appealing table runner without any problem. And if you donated all those modern chrome coffee mugs and dinner sets to charity you wouldn’t really be splurging, would you, since you would’ve done your best for charity and donated all these things unselfishly?
What about swapping your snazzy blinds for something that’s a bit more in the country home decor style, and while you’re about it perhaps you could even swap that ugly lampshade you received as a house-warming gift for something a little more country.
The only thing that remains for you to do now is to lie back and enjoy the results of your work and gaze with beaming pride upon your beautifully redecorated home. Furnished, naturally enough, in the best country home decor style that you could cull from every source that you came across, like that first magazine article that started it all off way back when.
