-Welcome to Cottage Philosophy Design-
At Cottage Philosophy Design, we believe that we share a passion for cottage living with a quiet, happy bunch of people in America and around the world today. All you need to do is read the statistics “Nearly 40 percent of all home sales (in 2005) were for second homes.” Wrote Les Christie for CNN’s Money.com, 4/24/06. These are our “Vacation Homes”, “Lake Houses”, “Retreats”, “Cabins”, and “Cottages”-whichever term suits you best. Or maybe your cottage is your daily home-Lucky you! This site was developed to share some knowledge of the cottage philosophy and some experienced advice. Whether you are in the process of your own cottage decorating makeover and need quick answers, or if you want to explore our informative resource pages for inspiration-This site is for you. Our focus will try to remain true to our roots with no sprawling newly constructed vacation homes. Although we agree these are beautiful, they simply do not fit our concept of traditional cottage style.
