camps and cottages review

I loved this book. I can't tell you how many times I've picked it up and looked through all of the wonderful pictures. If you love the camp and/or cottage style, this book is a must for you.

Let's hear it for cottage style

This is a beautiful book...full of great ideas and creative new looks. I loved it -- and I've incorporated a lot of Molly Hyde English's methods into my own home.

A delight to the eye

In Camps And Cottages: : A Stylish Blend Of Old And New, Molly English draws upon her years of experience providing furnishings for cabins and cottages around the country in order to restore or highlight their 1930s and 40s vintage motif and style that is fully adapted to the comforts and lifestyles of their 1990s era residents. The informative and accessible text is enhanced throughout with Linda Svendsen's superbly presented, full-color photography. The examples of interior decor are drawn from New England, mid-America, the Rockies, and the Pacific Cost against backgrounds ranging from seashore to forest. Whether just browsing it pages for fun or in serious quest for adaptable ideas for redoing or restoring your own rustic cabin or period cottage, Camps And Cottages is a delight to the eye, an inspiration to the mind, and a highly recommended addition to personal or professional interior design reference collections.

Move over, Rachel! Molly's here!

If you like cottage-style decor but just can't take any more pink roses, chippy white paint, and floral frou-frou, cleanse your visual palate with Molly Hyde English's refreshing take on cottage style. Camps and Cottages presents a look that will be instantly familiar to anyone who's ever vacationed in a cabin by the lake or in the mountains. It's all-American, family-friendly, cozy and comfortable. In page after page of gloriously photographed interiors, you'll find a wealth of inspiration for transforming your home into a full-time weekend retreat. The emphasis is on color, eclecticism, and whimsy, using camp blankets, rustic furniture, vintage pillows and tablecloths, tourist souveniers, and old signs and paintings to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Camps and Cottages style strikes the perfect balance between the overly masculine "lodge look" and the frilly home-as-boudoir approach of "shabby chic." Get the book, get to the flea market, and you may never feel the need to rent somebody else's vacation home again.

Cottage decorating made easy!

Every page is a colorful photograph of real cabins, homes, cottages and camps that are warm and inviting. The book is a perfect hostess gift or how-to book. The pictures make it easy to peruse antique shops and swap meets to create a beautiful, warm and cozy home environment. I'm thrilled to have come across this treasury of making a house a home.
