Reviews
I have to say I'm very pleasantly surprised by the New Cottage Style book. It's not new pictures of the expected beach and country cottage; it's filled from front to back with delicious images of different interpretations of cottage style. I'm happy to see everything from modern to French, from whitewashed to moody, colorful to neutral, and casual to somewhat formal. The entire book is summery and light-filled, perfect for sitting on the porch with a glass of lemonade and perusing for ideas to steal. I've already looked through it at least 10 times, but I see something new each time. It's definitely a great book to have in the library to refer to again and again.
