Perfect English Cottage spotlights cottage style at its very best: cozy boltholes, faded Georgian row houses, and other beautifully lived-in country interiors. Bestselling author Ros Byam Shaw takes a fresh look at the decor and design solutions that make English cottage style so perennially beloved. This book is divided into five chapters, based on five strands of cottage decor: Character, Holiday, Romance, Simplicity and Elegance. Each features varied homes wiht character and patina, from a tiny house with exposed beams, to a homey norfolk holiday home, 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.
