"Perfect English Cottage" explores 18 inspirational homes
that celebrate the best of cottage style in the English
countryside. The book looks at the decorating and design solutions
that make the cottages as attractive inside as out, as well as
practical and comfortable to live in. Bestselling author Ros Byam
Shaw takes a fresh look at this perennially appealing style, which
she divides into five chapters: Character, Holiday, Romance,
Simplicity and Elegance. The featured homes are incredibly varied,
from a tiny house with exposed beams to a pared-down Georgian gem,
to a picture-perfect cottage with roses over the door-and plenty
more adorning the interior. Each section ends with a Get The Look
page with ideas for recreating the style in your own home.
