I bought this book here on Amazon last summer while in the midst of the building our summer cottage. I had a general idea about what decor ideas I wanted for the cabin, but had no "visual inspirations," so to speak. This book is chock full of ideas for any modern country, shabby chic, flea market thrifty or cottage style lover. I've gotten so many ideas and inspirations, that I have just about every page bookmarked with sticky notes. I've also decided to go with open cabinetry in my kitchen versus the usual cabinetry doors after drooling over the lovely display of pottery and knickknacks featured in this book! I love this book and recommend it to anyone who wants inspiration on their home or just to have dreamy thoughts about what they would love for their kitchen to look like.Five stars all the way!
