Editorial Reviews

Book Description

Cottages travels from coast to coast, sharing delightful examples from the Catskills of New York to Georgia's Tybee Island to Southern California and beyond. The popularity of cottage homes has continued to thrive; cottages share charming details that capture the imagination and creativity of their owners, from a built-in window seat to a front porch swing to an outdoor shower for washing sandy feet after a stroll on the beach. Whether it's a rustic mountain retreat, a sunny southern California casita or a simple seaside fishing shack, cottages are whimsical, welcoming and irresistible.

Review:                                                                         Perfect beach house book !!!

This is a fun book to glance through and read. Great ideas on how to renovate a property and decorate a small space to make it look larger and function better.

The author is excellent at renovation and creatively taking eye sore buildings and making them beautiful.

Most of the properties are located on Tybee Island, GA, 20 minutes outside the city of Savannah, GA. The island had plummeted into disrepair and thanks to people like the author, is making a comeback as a quaint, beautiful island.
We have a beach house there and I had no idea this book highlighted the homes I had been seeing on bike rides - truly run down homes becoming beautiful cottages.

Also a good book on how to make small city spaces seem larger too. Great fun! 

The book is in a very good used condition.
