Country Living Cottage Style (Country Living)

9 reviews
Marie Proeller Hueston, The Editors of Country Living

Hearst, 2006

Cottage Homes
This is a really gorgeous book. I love it! There are many different styles represented here but always faithful to the idea (which I hold), that cottage homes should be cozy and informal, a place to relax by a fire, sip cocoa, and read a good book. These are such homes. The cottages are uniformly charming and with emphasis on light, airy rooms. I like that. The photography is also beautifully ...

French Country Living

Caroline Clifton-Mogg

Ryland Peters & Small, 2008

Lovely
Beautiful book. Inspiring photographs that capture French country style (obviously, note the title). My only complaint about Clifton-Mogg books is that the photos are recycled. I see the same photos is many other books. There are MANY wonderful estates, villas, and country properties out there - - - it would be nice to see more of them instead of these multi-used images. The "recycles ...

Mixed bag
When I purchased this book I had hoped for a lot of pictures to inspire our new kitchen. Unfortunately it was an odd collection of Country style kitchens that didn't do much for us. However the text was very informative in discussing what makes up a country style kitchen so overall we were pleased with the purchase.

A must have
I read the negative reviews for this book before I purchased it. Nevertheless, I still ordered it. While the book is kinda like a phonebook type of product, the information in it is priceless. It covers so many topics. I strongly recommend it.

Country Living Easy Transformations: Kitchens (Easy Transformations)

Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, The Editors of Country Living

Hearst, 2008

Great ideas and photos for new country kitchens.
I checked this book out at the local library and liked it so much that I ordered it. It has lots of color photos in easy-to-create kitchens. Because it is from the magazine "Country Living", most of the kitchens are timeless. If you are looking for ultra-modern, this is not the kitchen book for you -- however, if you want a kitchen that demonstrates how to use collections or has clean country ...

Country Living 750 Great Ideas for Decorating on a Budget: Transform Your Home Inside and Out

1 review

Hearst Books, 2005

Packed with tons of ideas....
This large book is packed with many "modern country" decorating ideas. This book is written by the authors of COUNTRY LIVING, so that gives you an idea of the type of ideas that you will encounter. COUNTRY LIVING Magazine has a definite "style", therefore you can expect that their book (with 750 ideas) is formatted much the same. The good thing is that this book was written in the mid 2000's, ...

Handmade Soap: Recipes For Crafting Soap At Home ( Country Living)

Mike Hulbert

Hearst Books, 2001

These soaps are extraordinary!
Out of all the "popular" soap books, this was one of the first I bought and the one I use the most! I have made most of the recipes in this book and haven't had a failed batch yet, either hand stirred or with a stick blender. I was a beginner and now everyone wants my soaps because they are mild & natural, smell so "real" and are simply wonderful. Over the years I have become more sensitive to ...

SIMPLE YET WONDERFUL CRAFT DESIGNS
It's never really too early to talk about Christmas for fanatics like myself. Even here in the midst of one of the hottest Summer seasons in recent years my thoughts are on bright Christmas lights glittering off the snow outside and the scent of pine and cinnamon inside. My wife and I have become avid crafters, making things not only for ourselves, but for friends and family as well. I never ...

Japan Country Living

Amy Sylvester Katoh, Shin Kimura

Tuttle Publishing, 2005

A MUST for Japanophiles
This is an amazing book, as are all by Amy Katoh. I was lucky enough to live in Tokyo two doors away from her store, and visited it at LEAST weekly. She specializes in simple but beautiful "country craftsmanship," as opposed to the opulent, such as dress kimino, and such. Her knowledge of Japanese culture and her sensitivity has even awakened the appeciation of Japanese citizens who had ...

Great Ideas for Bathroom Renovations!
I needed to re-do my small master bathroom in my new home that hadn't been updated since the 1960s. I live in a coastal village in New England and I love the classic, traditional home look. This book was so valuable in helping me to make color and design decisions. I was able to take ideas from almost all of the bathrooms showcased in the book. Each of the photos and sparse but ...

Pretty good cake cookbook. The pictures make one want to whip up something and gives you a yearning for a good slice of cake. A cookbook I will certainly refer to when I do make a cake.
