Synopsis"From the captivating appeal of a seaside dwelling to the backwoods charm of a woodsy getaway, the volume showcases a spellbinding array of cozy cottages."- Veranda. "The casual nature of the cottage gives occupants a sense of relations, which is perfectly communicated through the pictures....there's something for everyone."- Better Homes & Gardens.
When I think of a 'cottage', I think of a sweet, small home, nestled in the hillside, of a enchanting town. Most of the homes in this book were huge. The photos were lovely, but most looked like they belonged in a resort or a fancy lodge. The last chapter has some sweet cottages, that had a few fun ways to repurpose items not meant for what they were now used for. There were also a few beautifully painted pieces in the 'cottage' rooms. As a picture book it's great. As a decor book, not so much.
