styles inspired by every season of the year. From renovated kitchens

Cottage style is inviting and welcoming and always captures the heart of
the home. Every room has its own identity--from the entry and the family
room to the bedrooms and the back porch. A home's flow and sense of
history wrapped in a feeling of perfect harmony allow for a simple
lifestyle. Each room has its own purpose, with details as comforting as
fresh bedding crisp from the wash or a lovely toile fabric with trimmed
edges for interest, resulting in the ideal ambience for holiday
celebrations and entertaining. Meaningful objects, personal collections,
and family treasures all gathered in the home add charm to every
occasion. A little history is always welcome, making a home feel
well-loved, combining layers of various styles and curated items.
Character shines from one-of-a-kind furniture pieces, combining the new
with the antique and giving a unique feel to each home.
Twenty classic cottages, whether on the coast or within the city, are
filled with the spirit of each season of the year. In this book, the
four seasons--spring, summer, autumn, and winter--are presented, and
each featured cottage brings seasonal flair and highlights its place in
the country.
- Spring Cottages burst with new approaches to color and fresh
style, and seasonal nods to florals abound. From sun-drenched
entryways to gardens overflowing with life, each space sets the stage
for a new season of life.
- Summer Homes hugging the coastline exhibit the very best in
waterside living. Lakehouse porches welcome warm rays, and bedroom
havens provide the ideal getaway during the summer months.
- Autumn Mountain vistas provide stunning backdrops for garden
cottages dressed in rich fall color. Cozy spots for enjoying the
season encourage relaxation and gatherings with family and friends.
- Winter Holiday cottages and warm fireplaces share season's
greetings with snowy views. Perfect for hosting intimate parties or
welcoming loved ones, greenery-draped entryways and twinkling
tablescapes sing with the spirit of winter
Whether influenced by the colors of the season or its surroundings, each
dwelling reflects the style and essence of its location. And each
personal story carries the characteristics of those who live inside,
opening up a lifestyle that is truly home sweet home to those within.
