Produktbeschreibungen
From Library Journal
The cottage, as defined in Cottage Style, is "a usually small vacation home"; however, both books show how cottage style can be used for a permanent home as well. Tolpin covers the history of cottages as they evolved from serfs' homes in England to the Cape Cod style in the United States and on into the 20th century. The main purpose is to show how contemporary architects, using modern design techniques, have developed the cottage style for contemporary living. Architects, interior designers, and students will find this book especially useful for its last chapter on designing a cottage home. Amateurs, meanwhile, will find Cottage Style a more accessible volume for personal home design. As usual, the publisher provides numerous photographs to illustrate how to create a cottage look, with examples of window treatments, flooring, and wall coverings, as well as individual examples of various cottage styles from beach house to mountain cabin for every room of the home.

I was thrilled to read all the online reviews of this book, as it sounded like just the thing I was looking for. I perused a copy at a bookstore, and absolutely hated it! The style is not cottage at all, but country: flowered chintz everywhere, clutter, cutesy. If you're looking for the simplicity of cottage style, this is not the book for you.

Where we live, a lot of people have second homes. That isn't possible for us right now, but this book, Cottage Style, is helping me give our suburban house that weekend-house look. At first, I thought cottage style was just one decorating look, but it isn't. It includes LOTS of looks (farmhouse, Adirondack, and so on) with one thing in common: giving any home that "getaway feeling," as the author explains. The book is just great. I'm planning right now on how to turn our family room into the northwoods "cabin" that my husband and I have always wanted. Another winner from the Better Homes and Gardens people.

This book finally defined my decorating style - I didn't even know it had a name. The photos and the info help you figure out what appeals to you so you can make decorating decisions that produce your desired effect. We have been able to give our home that "cozy-comfy-bed&breakfast" feel that is very relaxing. I look at this book whenever I'm stumped and always get a new idea. Get it today!

I guess I'm cutesy!
Uh oh -- I loved Cottage Style so I guess that makes me cutesy, according to the previous reviewer. I wrote one of the positive reviews earlier, because the book encouraged me to... Lesen Sie weiter...
