    I knew from the cover this would be a book to indulge
    my senses.The small house pictured with a white couch,
    with a black embrodiered pillow,centered in the middle
    along with a vintage candolier drew me in.

    Every page has a treat for the eyes.White panelled
    walls,stone walls,and small white beadboard in the
    bathroom’s.A beautiful blue fabric couch centered in
    an old-fashioned three window setting.Simple but
    elegant.

    It shows some new cottage rooms,some a combination:
    Vintage with new,and some with more vintage style.
    There is a smorgasbord for every type of decorating,
    and true appeal for every age group.Some very talented
    designers left their mark in the rooms.

    I keep going back to this book for ideas and just
    pleasure.It helps me to relax.

    Some fascinating finds were the gothic arches for
    book storing.Also,the crisp white porches with pillars,
    that seem to be making a comeback.Hoorah!
    Their were multiple bathroom choices allowing you
    a different vision.

    The flea market style in this book was above what is
    usually associated with the words flea market.
    It is used successfully because the objects found have such
    potential.

    At the end,are shown easy displays to copy if you
    are starting out,and don’t quite know what to do to
    achieve a personal look.

    This book is full of wonderful pictures and ideas for the cottage look. The pages are not overcrowded or overwhelming. It has become my favorite of the “Cottage Style” design books.

    The many photos and ideas in the book are fabulous – anyone who is a cottage decor freak will be transported. My only issue was the drivelling narrative by the author – but don’t let it stop you; just plan to skim most of it unless you have insomnia.
