| Cottage: America's Favorite Home Inside and Out celebrates the romance and simplicity that give cottage homes their endless appeal. With inspiring locations, colorful gardens, cozy interiors, and intriguing nooks and crannies, the 24 cottages featured in this unique collection are sure to delight with equal measures of charm and diversity. Illustrated with spectacular photographs and watercolor drawings, the cottages span the country from Florida to the Pacific Northwest, with stops along the way at a converted schoolhouse in Missouri, a prefab cottage in Wisconsin, a straw-bale cottage in California, and a cottage community in Washington state.
Whether new or remodeled, permanent home or weekend getaway, each of the cottages is intimately scaled, seamlessly linked to the landscape, and brimming with personal detail...all good reasons why the cottage remains America's favorite home, inside and out.
"Cottages delight our eyes, warm our hearts, and soothe our souls. The fact is, at some point in our lives we all need them. If there's a cottage in your future, you'll find an abundance of inspiration and information in this book. No way will you get to the last page without have sketched out plans for your own 'someday' cottage!"

| "You'll be amazed at what fabric can do!...make one-of-a-kind decorator accessories....This handsome volume will help you bring radiant color, style and individuality to every room in your home."—Country Decorating Ideas. "Instructions are straightforward and easy to follow; templates are full-size...."—Booklist. 160 pages (136 in color), 50 b/w illus., 8 1/2 X 11.
With lots of full-color photos and plenty of pattern diagrams, Country Decorating provides full directions for more than 80 projects that can, according to the subtitle, Add Country Style, Charm & Color to Every Room in Your Home. Curtains, pillows, blankets, lampshades, frames, shelf edging, tablecloths, decorative accessories, and many other articles can be found here. Refreshingly, most projects avoid the "cute" country look in favor of cozy elegance. (There's even a striking set of items done in Hungarian applique, a sophisticated combination of white on black.) Many of the projects require little or no sewing. Others require more extensive use of the sewing machine, but a decent introductory section reviews all the basics and offers tips for professional-looking finishing touches. --This text refers to the Paperback edition. |
