Best Strength

The house is finally spick and span and you 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 are tired but it’s the good kind of tired where you know you’ve done a hard day’s work and you have no regrets about it. A happy feeling settles about you and you look around yourself with satisfaction.

A magazine lies in front of you appealingly within reach and you give in and pull it to you, intent on enjoying your well-deserved rest. The top cover story springs out at you, entitled ‘Country Home Decor’. Naturally you flip through eagerly to that very section, you had only just seen an article on some stylish country home decor or turning your house into a small country haven in another magazine and it had interested you.

There is page after page of the magazine filled with what can only be categorized as the most perfect examples of country home decor you can imagine. You gaze longingly at the various styles and furnishings you see gracing the magazine’s pages. A quick look up from your magazine assures you that your own modest abode hasn’t changed somehow into one of those lovely country homes you were just looking at.

A heavy sigh passes your lips at the disappointment and so you go back to reading the magazine article. You had never thought that you were the sort of person who could stand 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 create the same effect but on the more modest budget that you have at your disposal. After all, it wouldnt do to spring for that lovely dresser and have to go without your freshly ground whole bean coffee now, would it?

However, you could definitely buy that appealing table runner without a problem. And if you gave all your modern chrome coffee mugs and dinner sets to charity you wouldn’t really be splashing out, would you, since you’ve done your best for charity and donated all these things so unselfishly?

And what about swapping those snazzy blinds for something that’s a bit more in the country home decor style. And while you’re going 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 is left for you to do now is to lie back and enjoy the fruits of your labours and gaze with beaming pride upon your beautifully redecorated home. Furnished, naturally enough, in the best of country home decor style that you could cull from every source that you came across, like that first magazine which spurred it all off.
