Great looking book. I'll have to pick up a copy. If I could have a dream cottage anywhere....I really think it might be by the ocean in Charleston, South Carolina. I really love it there.

Ooooh lots of pretty things.

Thanks for reminding me about this book! I will check with my local bookstore as I like to support them. Will check out your giveaway.

I've always wanted to have a rustic cottage outside of Vail Colorado. Such a beautiful place year round.

Lovely book. My dream cottage would be along on a cobblestone street in a cute little town/village a la Practical Magic.

Wow what an absolute charmer!!!!!! LOVE this.....leave it up to you Michele to discover and feature such a gem....love it!

You know i have a soft spot for anything cottagy.
Actually, i like North Carolina, so i would have a beach cottage right on the ocean just for special times, and a cottage with a meadow near where i live right now.

I love these pics, great soothing colors! :-)

Looks like a wonderful book and will have to go out and find a copy. My dream cottage would be in Italy looking over an olive tree grove.

I'm dying to see your painting so I'm off to see.

What a beautiful book! I would love a cottage on the water somewhere. What a dream! xo

Michele-
This is a gorgeous book. BH&G really do put out some great publications, and the magazine has really been upping the quality of the magazine lately!
Thank you for sharing.
Happy Wednesday.

You had mew at 'before and after'!! These are gorgeous photos - I haven't even heard of that book! I'll have to check it out on Amazon. So pretty! Thank you for the recommendation - I always say a girl can never have too many books!

Beautiful pics! I love this style, so warm and cozy! My cottage would be... in Portugal. Love to spend holidays in the Algarve :-)

Love Lisanne

I had a dreamy little cottage just a few streets away from where we live now. It was just a little too small for the two of us, and since I bought it before I married Mr. H, he didn't feel totally like it was his place, too. So down the street we moved to something bigger, with decidedly less charm. Oh well. Charm is what you make it, I think.
The ultimate dream cottage? Nantucket, please! XOXO

Mine would be in the Carmel Valley! I'd totally forgotten about Maria's home being in this issue.. I'll be picking it up! Great look... I like the comfortable, casual vibe of these homes.

I'd love a beautiful cottage with many of these elements somewhere on the coast - cozy, friendly and wonderful!

That looks like a book I NEED! Lovely stuff :)

I would love to have a cottage with hardwood floors, simple and straightforward furniture, lots of pillow and flowers and somewhere on the coast of France.

Not sure why pendant lights have the ability to make my heart go all a'flutter. Sigh. These are all so picture perfect. If I had a choice, I'd plonk down any of your examples in the South of France! Mmm tres chic xxx

The pictures shared on better homes American cottage are great. Thanks for sharing.
