"Imagine strolling through the countryside and stumbling upon a home packed with old world charm — except unlike Hansel and Gretel, you won't need to worry about a wicked witch inside. Instead, you'll find exposed stone walls, wood beams, painted furniture, numerous antiques and floral prints, all combined to create a pretty and idyllic retreat. See how various homeowners and designers have acheived this rustic look in living rooms, dining areas, kitchens and bedrooms. Even if you don't have a cottage of your own, you can still incorporate many of these elements in your home."
