Here’s a book many of you will love – Kathryn Greeley ’s The Collected Cottage: Gardening, Gatherings and Collecting at Chestnut Cottage. If you’ve ever found yourself on Pinterest searching for images of cozy cottages and traditional interiors, chances are you’ve come across images of Chestnut Cottage, Kathryn Greeley ’s beloved home in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Known for her exquisite hostess skills as well as her knack for crafting homes steeped in tradition, Greeley dedicates her book to both – entertaining and design – because what’s the use of a beautiful home without the laughter of friends and family to fill its rooms?
Delicious recipes mixed in with useful gardening tips and inspiring glimpses inside Chestnut Cottage make this book a wonderful addition to our lifestyle libraries. Here’s a sneak peek inside The Collected Cottage and life at Chestnut Cottage, seen through the lens of someone who’s mastered the art of living graciously, with photography by J. Weiland.
The book is organized by seasonal festivities and includes gardening advice, recipes and table inspiration, with tips for starting personal collections and enhancing our decor. The information Greeley so generously shares is tailored to the unique appeal of each season – from the tender days of Spring through the bleak days of Winter, spent most enjoyably fireside – and is meant as a gentle reminder that our homes are meant to be lived in and enjoyed, all year long, with elegance and passion.
