It is cozy, colorful, and truly American. As indicated in Country Home magazine, it has regained momentum and enthusiastic acceptance from those intent on recapturing the art of comfort and a sweeter and far less complicated lifestyle.
Whether the location is New England, the Midwest, the Rockies, or the Pacific coast, Camps and Cottages reflects the form and function of the heartland energized with the color and movement of our country's forests and seashores.
