Product Description
Cottages are all about warmth and coziness—and here’s a book as welcoming as the style it celebrates. These pages hold the key to achieving that wonderfully laid-back cottage look, with its pickets and porch railings, time-tested color combinations, faded fabrics, family photos, and treasured collections. The pictures speak volumes about how old and new, pretty and primitive, can work perfectly together to create a welcoming retreat in any type of home. And all the ideas and projects are simple yet beautiful—whether it’s artfully antiqued furniture, whimsical birdhouses, button pillows to scatter everywhere, or a glass-paned door table.

 Good book but wrong page number listed May 19, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
very good book, lots of ideas but in the product listing it has 512 pages but in reality the book only has 128 pages. Thought I would receive a book with more pages and , of course, more ideas.
 Practical ideas for the "cottage-style" decorator July 28, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This is a beautifully photographed book written by NEVA SCOTT.This book is exactly as the title states.
The ideas are very do-able and easy to duplicate. Each chapter is filled with various insights into the making of a casual cottage-style home.
The author also gives "how-to" directions on duplicating some of the photographed ideas. Easy to follow,once again!
Since the author also owns a small boutique in Richland Washington, I hope to visit her store soon!
Great Sense of Color and Style February 11, 2007
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
A cottage brings to mind a more carefree style of living than does a house or condo. It brings back the thought of summers spent in small dwellings in the mountains or along the shore somewhere. And in those cottages, you were likely to find mismatched furniture, dishes, silverware; a random collection of art work hung on the wall; fabrics from god only knows where, or when, or even why; and the finish on the wooden pieces of the furniture may or may not have paint.
In this book Ms Scott shows what can be done with such low cost (or no cost) items in a way that would fit into nearly any home, and yes, even in a condo. She has broken the subject matter into four major areas: Cozy Cottage Colors, Nurturing Nature, Decorative Displays, and Decorative Furniture.
What I find most impressive about the book is the sense of color that comes through. The photography is well cone and the printing is excellent so that the woods, the fabrics, the glassware simply sparkles. While this type of decorating isn't everyone's cup of tea, her sense of style, color, and selection of individual items might make it fit your sense of style better than you think.
