COTTAGE PLANS:  3  Books
 
I spent days surfing the net trying to find decent free information on Cottage Plans. So much stuff out there just wasn't centered on Cottage Plans. I got fustrated!

I checked out a bunch of bookstores and still could not find what I was after.

I wanted what you probably do...a book dedicated solely to Cottage Plans.

Period.

Cozy, charming as heck, elegant, timeless Cottage Plans.

Is that too much to ask?!

After months and months of searching, I finally found three inexpensive books which were just perfect to help me along the lovely path of Cottage Plans and to show me the in's and out's of Cottage Plans.

To go and check out these fantastic book finds and save yourself time, just click on any of the links here.

It's important to have a vision of what you want to achieve. Good books on Cottage Plans can do that, obviously.

Most people see building and having their very own charming cottage as a difficult task, but it doesn't have to be that way!

Cottage plans can be simple and quite fun, actually, to build yourself or with your significant other, or your family! The pride and memories will be built into the walls residing when the cottage is completed with the love and laughter in walls. After all, this is your dream!

Here's to your Cottage Plans!!

My sincere Best wishes!

Cheers!

25 Plans for Retreats, Cabins, and Beach Houses (Paperback)

Book Description
The cottage holds a special place in our minds and hearts as a place of retreat, peace, and relaxation as well as an expression of a family's own personality. In this elegantly illustrated book, architect and teacher Catherine Tredway presents 25 unique plans for a variety of cottages designed to meet a wide range of needs and lifestyles.

Inspired by the many regions of North America, Tredway's designs feature the

distinctive architectural elements of an Adirondack cottage in the woods, a Minnesota lakeside cottage, a California cottage by the sea, and more. In addition, each design incorporates architectural details unique to a particular region and is shown in the author's full-color rendering accompanied by elevation views, floor plans, and close-up drawings and photographs of architectural details. The text highlights the historical background of the architectural style on which the design draws.

Part practical plans book and part inspirational idea book, this exploration of the beauty, function, and style of the cottage is a must for cottage owners, would-be cottage owners, and those who just like to dream.
