Through exquisite photography and drawings, this text presents romantic and dramatic cottages in a range of styles from the contemporary to the traditional - from a wilderness home in Northern Minnesota to a creative sanctuary in urban Seattle; from a family weekend home in Central Texas to a lakeside cabin in Idaho, or a collage of cottages in West Virginia. Placing particular emphasis on interior design, this volume displays their beautiful decoration as well as focusing on the design of such very cottage-like elements as fireplaces, porches, and kitchens.
