The Cottages calls together an amalgam of architectural styles rooted in 19th-Century Southern coastal and Caribbean island cultures. In artful detail that borrows freely from the past, 25 enchanting designs bring forth a sense of ease and rich comfort often reserved for gentler times. Paneled windows, seaside porticos and hosts of French doors mingle wide views with light airy interior spaces that invite a "sit and watch the sunset" attitude. This collection of plans keys the vibrant aesthetics of earlier plantation and island-community homes with the soaring demands of a modern household. Versatile living and dining rooms tune themselves to any occasion – planned or cozy. Master suites with private decks and luxury baths invite sunning and soaking. Cool covered galleries and sun-kissed courtyards blur the definition between indoor and outdoor spaces and capture unforgettable vistas. -- amazon.com
