Whether you live in a hilltop village in France or an apartment in New York, "Creating Cottage Style" is a wonderful resource for simple, inspiring ways to introduce cottage style to your home. In the first part of the book, Cottage Styles, Katherine Sorrell takes a tour of inspirational interiors from around the world, from the relaxed simplicity of Scandinavian style to the comfortable charm of the country homes of England. Spread throughout the book are twelve stylish yet achievable projects, each one accompanied by step-by-step illustrations. Projects include a pretty floral tablecloth for your dining room, yellow-checked curtains for your living room, and a painted closet for your bedroom. In "Cottage Rooms", Katherine guides you through every room in the home, while lavish photography highlights intriguing details along the way. This wonderful book provides a wealth of ideas for you to recrate at home--cover beds and pillows with toile de Jouy fabric, paint rooms in pale, soft colours, or disguise kitchen storage spaces with gathered panels of traditional fabric. -A treasure trove of ways to capture the essence of country living, whether you want to add handcrafted touches to your kitchen or redecorate your living room. -Includes 12 truly illustrated step-by-step projects for country-inspired details including pillows, curtains, bedspreads, and wreaths.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

charming book -
I love this book! I flipped through a few 'cottage' style books and this one I had to take home. Filled with great photos, ideas and inspiration. I like the relaxed way the book is written and refer to this book time and time again! There are a few do it yourself projects included, ie: make your own pillow cover, plate rack, tablecloth, etc.. that personally I don't really need (but these take up only a few pages). Showcases homes that are simple, down to earth, easygoing, yet always unforced elegance= cottage style!

Inspiring -
The subtitle of this book is a bit of a misnomer. There are step-by-step projects detailed in the book. However, few of these items appear in the rooms featured and there are very few sewing projects. Those looking for instructions should be aware this book is not helpful in that regard. However, for those with some sewing knowledge there are literally hundreds of potential projects - from curtains to pillows and slipcovers. Fans of the "cottage" look will also appreciate the dozens and dozens of stunning rooms including fabrics, furniture and accessory layouts and color combinations. One can walk away with countless ideas from this book; my copy has nearly half of its pages tagged with projects I plan to attempt. I would highly recommend it for such purposes.

Creating Cottage Style -
This book was not what I expected. I thought there would be instructions for making kitchen chair cushions like those pictured in the book. I found when I received the book it only had instructions for a few of the pictured ones in the book. None of which I was interested in.
