The fusion of beauty and function is the new approach to sophisticated country style.  It incorporates design elements from a variety of heritages and trends, expanding the notion of country to include different national and ethnic fashions.  Along with “traditional” elements like baskets and flowers are fresh suggestions and restorations that bring us up to date: think of a U.S. flag draped over a wooden bench in a foyer, or a large vase of sunflowers on a cherry table.
