Cottage interiors and exteriors are represented showcasing some of the styles of American cottages. The photography is excellent and the text complements these images. The final section is a “cottage handbook” on styling, decorating, and maintaining a cottage.

My go-to favorite decorating book ever. The pages transport you to a cozy place and then you make it your own. Awesome book with wonderful pictures to get inspired.
