When I was starting out, the classic Country look was popular again, thanks to the Bicentennial, but it sorely needed an update. Being in the magazine business, I always knew where country was going and always had an opinion about where it should go. In August of 1978, House and Garden ran a story about my take on country, called “A New High: Country Cottage 10 Floors Up.” My name was forever linked with that wonderful word.
As I look back, it’s a happy blur of eclectic collections and details that warm my heart: striped fabrics, framed American flags, folk art, leopard touches, blue-and-white china, wooden watermelons, watering cans, dried flowers, straw hats, baseball hats, redware, glass kerosene lanterns, chandeliers, English antiques, pumpkins, dried wildflowers, topiaries, linens, shells, bird’s nests, sea grass, rag rugs, ladder-back chairs, farm tables, antique rattan, white upholstery, hooked rugs, glass bottles, country blankets, homespun, quilt pillows,gingham, bandanas, barrels of red geraniums, local paintings of lighthouses or beach scenes, and candles―there can never, ever be too many candles.
When I was a little girl, I never could have dreamed of having such a long and crazy career. It’s truly been a joy to meet so many wonderful people and help shape a style that I love so much. From New England Country to Beach Country to Cottage Country Style and Country Modern, it always needs a little something new, but it never seems to get old. Decorating is a way of telling a story. Never stop telling yours. I know I won’t.

17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. which looks like all her other recent houses (and I do like ... By Jill B. Muscarelli I was looking forward to this book so much since I've been a subscriber to most of the magazines ME has worked for at one time or another. I thought after reading the opening pages that it would be full of more detailed writing and comparisons of what country kind of started out as in the 80's and what it's morphed into in more recent years. But the rest of the book was pic's. of ME's house in AZ, which looks like all her other recent houses (and I do like the look and like to see how she's displayed things even though it's really just too much "stuff" out and around for my life and my own home), and pic's. of some random houses in TX that are mostly very subdued. The part on the Round Top antiques fair was somewhat interesting and the pic's. of the beautiful old painted and stenciled walls in one home were gorgeous, as are most of the pic's. in this and ME's other books. There was a lot of potential here and it could've wrapped up in a better way too. There were pic's. of Rachel Ashwell's B&B, mostly exterior shots, and then you turned the page and the book just ended.
17 of 18 people found the following review helpful. Ex-Husband Reads Book--Gives It 5 Stars By John Emmerling I ordered this book out of curiosity--and found it a hoot. For fans of "the country look" it will be a trip down a charming memory lane that began its meandering ways back in the mid-1970s. For me (I'm the 6' 4" first husband Mary refers to) it's an accurate reflection of her energy, style, and irrepressible personality. If you've wondered what makes Mary tick, this memoir will sit you down and talk you through it. (BTW, although we've been divorced for 35 years, Mary and I are still pretty good friends. And my new wife LOVES her!)
15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. was disappointed in this new book by Mary Emmerling By L.Scoops I, also, was disappointed in this new book by Mary Emmerling. Way too much clutter! I thought this book would show a more modern approach to country! Books stacked everywhere (and I mean everywhere!) & that same old look of photos hanging around on the floor! That was Mary's own home. Most of the other homes have been featured in Mary's other books, not much new. One of the houses featured was Rachel Ashwell's, which already has a whole book about itself written by Rachel!! I have been a fan since 35 years ago & have all but about 2 of her books. This book did not do it for me.
