advertising slogans
Can anyone help me to find a neat solution to diffentiate between the above two phrases as advertising slogans for a furniture company. It's been a long week and my brain has virtually switched off!
XXX - Das Land im Haus.
XXX - Das Land zu Hause.
Client's explanation (for what it's worth...):
Hintergrund:
XXX ist eine Möbelmarke, die sich auf den Landhausstil spezialisiert hat.
Daher soll der Slogan ausdrücken, dass man sich mit XXX "das Land ins Haus holen" kann. Das ganze soll heißen, dass man sich mit XXX Möbel das Landhausfeeling ins Haus holen kann.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

Country in the Home / Home in the Country
I would actually reverse these in the ad, since they "ring" better that way. (BTW this plays on an old saying, "You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.")
4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer.
Comment: "Thanks to everyone for all your suggestions. I like Darin's play on the old saying, but am adapting it slightly to use countryside and borrowing SwissTell's "Bring..." for the first saying - sorry I can't award points all round!"

Of course, the example given below is not referring to furnitures per se, but still fits the circumstances:
