Average Customer Ratings:
The romantic elements that define the traditional southern cottage-a picturesque picket fence, a breezy sleeping porch, and well-worn heirloom furnishings-have made these small homes perennially stylish. The Southern Cottage showcases the best cozy dwellings in popular seasonal destinations-from the mountains in Virginia and North Carolina to Florida's Panhandle shores and the coast and islands of South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia, and Louisiana. A pristine Victorian lake house and a rustic mountaintop retreat express two moods of escape in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Summer beachside cottages include a colorful Key West home and a century-old family Florida retreat that captures informal old-fashioned spirit. Examples of 19th- and early 20th-century cottages reveal ways in which these diminutive houses satisfy the need for privacy as well as communal living. With tantalizing photographs of shaded porches, stone paths lined with flowers, and wicker-filled rooms, this is an inspiration for those who want their getaway home to evoke the timeless charm of southern living.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Inspiring and "real" small cottages - 
This is a lovely book of real homes. It is clear in each vignette that the homeowners truly love their houses and have decorated them wholeheartedly. I am sure that many designers were involved - they are really exceptional cottages - but overall, the sense is conveyed that the cottage is really and truly someone's home (or home away from home, as the case often is). I am designing our family's home, and I enjoyed "visiting" these cottages very much. So many of these books are inspiring in a "perfect ' kind of way - as in, I could never achieve this look, but it is beautiful! - but this books presents cottages that are closer to what we all might create in our homes.

Southern Cottages -
I'm always interested in how the wealthy spend their money. These "Cottages" are really something! Most people might enjoy thumbing through this book free at a library or on a friends coffee table.
The Southern Cottage -
Very nice book. I liked it so much I sent an additional copy to a friend in Georgia.
Southern Cottages -
This was an absolute page turner for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful pictures and descriptive dialog. The photos were amazing and were varied with many interior, exterior and garden shots. The only dissapointment was coming to the end!

Fascinating subject:) -
Ever since I purchased a turn of the century farmhouse I have been a bit obsessed w/ reading about the history and culture of the south. I enjoyed this book and the photos but most of all I love reading about the people who choose to live a simple life:)There is something magical about this way of life. I feel so lucky to experience living in a historic home and I enjoyed reading the reviewer's home featured in the book! OMG!!!! It is an honor! CONGRATS!!!! I googled and made trips to the local museum in my area and found my farmhouse written about in a history book and it is thrilling beyond words! Hope someday the author chooses to write "The Southern Farmhouse" Hint!:)
