Finding the Heart of Country Decorating

Feb 19, 2002 - © L.C. Dumke

  • Wooden trunks and toolboxes - wonderful as tables and for extra storage, and even better when you find them with their original paint. This year's hot color was robin's blue - one of my personal favorites.
  • Quilts - few items say down-home Country style like a handmade quilt. Quilts are just as wonderful stacked in an open cupboard or hanging on a wall as they are on a well-dressed bed.
  • Vintage clothing - the one item I purchased was a heavy, hand-knit, Cowichan sweater from Canada, made in the 1940s. (My sweater--adorned with a moose and the word "Alaska"--is shown in the photo.)

    • Don't miss next year's Heartt of Country show, October 17-20, at the Opryland Hotel. Keep checking the Opryland the Heart of Country Web site (www.heartofcountry.com) for details!
