hether it is a converted schoolhouse, a renovated boathouse, or simply a house with a few well-planned rooms and a climbing rose over the doorway, a cottage is the country retreat nearly everyone longs for. Mary Emmerling finds the best of country style within the twenty-three small gems in American Country Cottages, the thirteenth book of her best-selling American Country series.
Informal charm, ease of maintenance, and simple living—these are the bywords of the cottage style. Many of America's cottages have sprouted along the seashore, and the pleasures of beach life are incorporated into their owners' decorating style. In Mary Emmerling's own beach home, she highlights another trend: living in compounds of cottages and outbuildings that give the family independence yet allow them to join together for meals and gatherings. For purists, she shows cottages that provide a backdrop for a variety of country looks, and for daring decorators, she presents cottages with unusual collections, witty ideas, and wild color schemes.
With 325 full-color photographs, American Country Cottages has a dazzling array of suggestions, both pracdcal and beautiful, for small but charming spaces. In a special Cottage Handbook, Mary Emmerling shares her own personal secrets for decorating, housekeeping, and enjoying a cottage home throughout the year.
