I really really really liked this book. It’s so much more than just a book on decor like I was expecting. She has so many ideas and tips for having a cozy home during all the seasons. I really liked that while she has a large home she includes ideas for smaller homes on a budget. She gives lots of lists with ideas and places to shop for the various ideas she is telling you about. She also does not try to “force” her styles and ideas on you. She mentions multiple times there’s no rules. It’s your house and you should decorate and make it cozy the way you like best. It’s going on my need to buy for myself book list.

It’s a beautiful book, I’ll give it that. However, I didn’t find it much different than the first book. A lot of ideas, but many are unreachable for most.

This book was wonderful, just as the author’s first one was. It was completely chock full of ideas and tips which gave me inspiration for some decor spaces in my own home.

The only complaint I have with the book is that some of the pictures weren’t as crisp as you would hope but it’s still well worth the purchase. The cover is also beautiful enough that I happily display it on my coffee table.

I love the look of a fully decorated home and personal lifestyle with the color white. However, as much as this family seems to be living in their perfect white habitat, I know that it cannot possibly be easy to maintain the almost perfection of the way the home and surroundings look.

Still, one can dream...

I really loved this book! I live in a cottage style house, and I struggle to decorate in the midst of having children, and them growing up. But someday, I would love my house to look like the pictures in this shush book! It was so much more than just a book on decorating! The tips, tricks and lists gave me ideas way beyond decorating my house. This book just made me feel completely happy!!

This book is trying to do too much. It’s about home decorating! There’s bucket lists! Now we’re building a capsule wardrobe! It’s a cookbook! No wait—it’s…

Thought I might get an idea, but (sadly), no. This should be named the extremely wealthy white bread family decorates a house so that you would need two or three cleaning people to spend 3-4 hours each (at a minimum) every week to keep a place like this up. Oh yeah, plus a gardener, animal husband-er, etc. White can be cozy, I agree; but these people have a BIG dog (which, to be fair, IS addressed). There is NO WAY this OCD woman would let that dog up on the furniture. (Well, the dog is WHTIE too!) I bet they picked out that dog BECAUSE it was white! I got one idea out of the whole book, and that is to find that recipe that my mom hand wrote and frame it. Her handwriting was gorgeous and I'm looking forward to doing this.

Definitely my favorite home decor book this year, possibly my favorite of all-time! There are “100 ways to be cozy” included in this book but there are so many more tips inside! The photography is stunning and while I am a fall/winter girl, this made me fall in love with spring and summer as well, and I look forward to being cozy all year long with this book. I’ll definitely reference it with each season. Highly recommend if you’re a cozy homebody like me!

I was so happy when this book came in. I have the first one and love looking thru it for ideas. It also makes a perfect display book.
I love Liz’s use of wood and white. Clean lines and yet gritty antique wood pieces. It all works so well. I don’t know if I would ever have a completely white home but areas of my home can strive to look like areas of the cozy white cottage.

[Sandra Charron · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very similar to her last book,and although I find her decor absolutely breathtaking, I have to keep reminding myself that she's a designer with a beautiful 100 year old farmhouse and the dream farmhouse property to go with it, and I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my old ugly oak kitchen cupboards circa 1985.

Cozy White Cottage Seasons is a book that is a gives easy ideas to make your home comfortable without breaking the bank. Ideas are also given to entertain and enjoy the seasons. The part I enjoyed the most were the pictures of her home. It is a home to live in and not just be staged in. This would be a wonderful bed and breakfast.

This book includes some checklists I liked enough to copy out by hand. However, overwhelmingly, it consists of influencer-speak illustrated with pleasant but cluttery photos. The sentences to which my first response was "Duh!" were innumerable. Also, the author's concept of "effortless" clearly does not jibe with mine.

[Annie · Rating 3 out of 5]

When I see all white color scheme in a minimalist home it seems doable. This, with all the clutter, seems unrealistic. The dusting of all the knickknacks alone makes it impractical. Looks like a photo shoot where no one actually lives. But it was pretty, with few good ideas. Glad I borrowed from Library rather than buying.

Inspirational and Cozy

If you’re looking for a book to both make you feel at home and inspire you to set your home up as a cozy holiday sanctuary, this book is for you.

Every page gives details of DIY projects, as well as invites you to go on your own personal introspection journey when it comes to feeling cozy during the holidays and seasons in general.

[Suzanne Rogers · Rating 3 out of 5]

This author has fine-tuned her aesthetic and lifestyle, and I like that she asks questions and encourages the reader to do that for themselves. It wasn’t quite the kind of book that I was looking over so I skimmed some sections, but there were some practical tips like how to keep whites white, and her pictures were pleasant to look at.

[Lydia · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this book. With info on some of Liz's choices along with some DIY and practical tips, Liz has something for anyone looking to feel a little more cozy wherever they are and make a space your own.

[tin_foil_tinnu · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pretty, well-formatted book. I liked a lot of the tips, even though I'm not into the all-white-barn look. I did read this book straight through and eventually the word "tuck" was starting to get to me, I swear it's on every page. I'm gonna go back through and take some notes on ideas I liked.

[Elizabeth Kirsteatter · Rating 3 out of 5]

A pretty book with gorgeous pictures, but not a lot of useful information. Not pretty enough to keep as a coffee table book, and not enough info to keep as a design reference, so it just kind of falls a little flat.

[Mary Lynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

For fans of the author or this neutral farmhouse style only. Geared toward younger folks or first time decorators.

[Trish · Rating 3 out of 5]

A nice book about being cozy throughout the year.

[Adventuresofabusymom.com · Rating 4 out of 5]

Preparing to move from Hawaii to the Midwest…this book was inspiring with ideas of how to decorate for seasons again. I love the simplicity and ease of her style. Wish there were even more pictures.

[Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Beautiful and inspiring. I'm a big fan of Liz Marie's and the book is full of great tips!

[Yardéna Lucretia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love this book! Great ideas, clear instructions and very easy to follow. A nice read for anyone looking to cozy up their home.

[Andrea · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very pretty book with beautiful photos and some fun tips, though otherwise nothing that can't be found online via Instagram and Pinterest.

[Darlene Messenger · Rating 4 out of 5]

Author showcases her own cozy white cottage home. The palette is white and neutral throughout. Lovely ideas for seasonal homemaking and decor with splashes of color seasonally.
