Rating:  Summary: They say you can't judge a Book by it's Cover, but I did. Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: A Visiual Treat Review: 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.
