Regardless of location or style, cottages offer sheer enjoyment and relaxation. There, in a shingled saltbox by the sea or log cabin in the woods, you can indulge in life's simple pleasures. Bring a wonderful simplicity of design into your living space, using a medley of furnishings and natural materials. First, consider the type of cottage you own and its traditions. Choose from six different moods: tranquil, romantic, cozy, nostalgic, rustic, and whimsical. A Cape Cod might favor white wicker furniture and a soothing blue palette, while rough-hewn furniture suits a mountain retreat. Lakeside refuges often use stones from the surrounding land, and sweet hideaways blossom in the shade of an English country garden. Whether you opt for florals and lacy sheets or Windsor chairs and checked table linens, your home will have flair and individuality!<br></div> 985411 18 3 2002 Cottage Retreats: Decorating Ideas for Every Mood total:5|5:1|4:2|3:2|2:0|1:0| 5 19 7 1 0 0 false false Tue Jan 22 13:08:49 -0800 2008 Tue Jan 22 13:09:08 -0800 2008 what can I say, cottages are alluring to me.]]> 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sat Nov 07 13:23:07 -0800 2009 Sat Nov 07 13:23:07 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sat Feb 07 13:11:59 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 13:11:59 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Sun Oct 12 16:36:02 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 12 16:36:13 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Jul 15 08:43:50 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 15 08:43:55 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Apr 02 05:59:36 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 02 05:59:36 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri May 25 10:19:11 -0700 2007 Fri May 25 10:19:11 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=999920
