A new, evocative take on American country style that is enchantingly unexpected and confidently chic We think we know American country style. The houses in this book politely flout our expectations. Bypassing the expected cues and nostalgic shorthand, the 23 stunning residences included in At Home in Nature are unfussy, calm, confident, and a little unexpected?modern in a way that feels totally timeless and utterly chic. Across nearly 300 pages, author Hudson Moore offers a visual tour of rural retreats, ranches, and cottages designed by some of today’s leading tastemakers, with interiors shaped by their bucolic surroundings. A West Texas residence decorated by Jeffrey Bilhuber mixes fine-boned antiques with contemporary pieces, while Libby Cameron’s shingled, whitewashed Maine cottage features art leaned on shelves, painted wicker mingling with painted floors, and doors left open to Atlantic breezes. From the walls and windows to the smallest details, each home reflects the unique touch of the designer, architect, or creative talent who brought it to life. Taken together, homes in this book make a quiet case for an American country aesthetic that is both enduringly grounded and unmistakably current. They speak to their settings not just through decoration, but through the decisions behind them?what to keep, what to leave out, and how a room should feel at the end of the day. The effect is deeply personal and disarmingly assured, a visual chronicle that subtly redraws boundaries to make room for the lived-in, the honest, and the quietly unforgettable.
