Country love elsewhere: England
When I try to picture the English country-side and home Joe Wright's 2005 film, Pride and Prejudice, pops up into my mind. Of course back in those times living in the country-side of England meant even the middle-class lived on an estate. Thus naturally we do have some estate country-side home pictures posted to day, but we also have more contemporary English country-side homes as well...
The simple boxy stone homes are traditional to country estates.
There were also extravagant cottage-styled homes also known as Tudors, that came about in the Tudor-period of England.
Smaller cottage-style country homes for the less fortunate but none-the-less just as beautiful as their larger cousins.
And in a country town you have country townhomes. Usually made of stone with peaked roofs, these homes line a street side by side, very closely together, hence... townhomes.
And here are more townhomes in a country town, but obviously in an area that is more rural than the area of the townhomes pictured above.
Then there are the more contemporary English country-side homes, while they seem to try to keep the tradition of building the structure with stone there does seem to be a marked difference in style and the overall appearance from the more traditional English country homes.

Moroccon hanging lamps on the patio
A unique way of setting up your country-side home patio. I'd probably nix the poufs but a few comfortable chairs with Moroccon hanging lamps will still be quite a beautiful and relaxing scene in the evenings.
Below are a few lanterns that can be purchased at Cost Plus World Market to help you achieve the Moroccon look.
