The coldness of winter has got hold of you and you're mooching around trying to decide what to do with yourself. You're snowbound and the only thing that you can think to do is sit in front of the fire, drink your steaming hot mug of chocolate and stare broodingly out of the window. The only problem with that is, you've already done that and you've have had your fill of fires, hot chocolate and brooding.

Now you're just about ready to do something different, so, you turn to the only comfort you have and switch on the TV. You're instantly riveted to your seat as you come across one of those many shows about how you can do up your home. You find yourself inundated with decorating ideas, both interior decor and exterior decor ideas.

So, you finally find yourself captivated by a program that you would have dismissed earlier and jump out of your seat to get a pencil and notebook to write down all those great ideas. In no time at all, you've run out of pages in your notebook and have to leave your warm armchair to go get another one.

Before you get back to your comfy chair, you've made a quick tour around the house and have spotted many of the things that you've spent a lifetime trying not to see - the cracks in the bedroom walls, the patch of mildew in the bathroom, the paint chipping off many of the doors.

The list is never ending and could go on for many pages. So you dutifully sit down, and alongside your notes on various decorating ideas on interior design and general redecorating, you meticulously note down all the little things that need fixing, replacing or refitting.

The list naturally spans more than even your second notebook can hold but you decide to stop there, because it's more than your arm can take to continue writing, besides you already have all the relevant facts at your fingertips, so now you set about sorting them out into sections that you can easily follow.

No easy task that, when your decorating ideas, interior designs and room-by-room list of flaws is all jumbled up into one horrible pile. You then turn to the tried and true, age-old method of sitting on the floor and surrounding yourself with your notes in an attempt at finding some order.

When you eventually reach that sublime state of order, you lay back with a tired but satisfied countenance. The knowledge that you'll now have enough decorating ideas and interior design plans and less time on your hands during those long hard months of winter, sends a rush of contentment flowing through you. There's nothing like a job well done and the knowledge that come springtime, your home will look nothing like its shabby former self.

Your house is finally spick and span and you sit down and 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 worn out but it's that good kind of tired when you know you've done a good day's work and you have no regrets about it. An aura of contentment settles about you and you look around you with satisfaction.

A magazine lies in front of you appealingly within reach and you give in and pull it to you, intent on enjoying a 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 converting your house into a small country haven in another magazine and it had interested you.

There are pages and pages of the magazine filled with what can only be described as the most ideal examples of country home decor imaginable. You gaze longingly at the various styles and furnishings you see gracing the magazine's pages. A quick glance up from your magazine reassures you that your own modest home hasn't changed somehow instantly into one of those lovely country homes you were just admiring.

A heavy sigh passes your lips at this disappointment and you go back to gazing at the magazine spread. You had never thought that you were a person who could stand the whole country home decor style but now upon reflection you think you just might be able to.

Now without your even realising it, you start marking the pages that fascinate you the most, making small maths calculations on how best to create the same effect but on the smaller budget that you have to spend. After all, it just wouldn't do to fork out for that lovely Welsh dresser and have to go without your freshly ground whole bean coffee, would it?

But, you could definitely buy that appealing table runner without too much of a problem. And if you donated all those modern chrome coffee mugs and dinner sets to charity you wouldn't really be splurging, would you, since you would have already done your best for charity and donated all these things?

What about exchanging your jazzy blinds for something that's a bit more in the country home decor style, and while you're about it perhaps you could even swap that ugly lampshade you got 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 results of your labours and gaze with beaming pride upon your beautifully redecorated home. Furnished, naturally enough, in the best country home decor style that you could cull from every source that you found, like that first magazine article that spurred it all off way back when.
