Country style décor refers to an interior design style that represents a simple country life. The theme will often involve muted colours, distressed or second-hand furniture and accessories with farmyard or outdoor themes such as animals.
The origin of the word “mug” is actually unknown. It’s thought it may come from Scandinavia as they have the word “mugg” which means an “earthen cup or jug”.
The standard mug size is between 8 – 12 ounces, but the more common size you see today is typically between 12 – 20 ounces.
Cheese knives are curved as it increases the surface area for spreading soft cheeses, yet it also needs to be sharp in order to cut hard cheeses. The curved shape is so it can be equally useful as both a cutting and spreading tool.
Yes, it’s always a great idea to use a coaster. Coasters help to protect your furniture from liquid rings and scratches and nicks that may occur from moving your drink around.
