Book signing with Katie Hutchison

Start your holiday shopping early and join us for a book signing with architect and best-selling author Katie Hutchison. She'll be at Bunch of Grapes with her latest book, The New Cottage: Inspiration for America's Favorite Home.

The mere thought of "cottage" puts the mind at ease, as a cottage is where life is simple, comforting, and true. Cottages are an informal, often hardy subset of small houses, generally possessing a visceral grab on homeowners' imaginations.

The New Cottage explores how our favorite home is changing to suit living today. Even in the face of technology's expanding scope and speed, and the resulting nearly ubiquitous reach of social media, today's new cottage appeals to our increasing need to balance transience and durability, togetherness and solitude, the high tech and the homespun.

Katie Hutchison is an architect with over 23 years of experience in residential design and is author of the best-selling The New Small House, also from The Taunton Press. She's sole proprietor of Katie Hutchison Studio, and provides design commentary to shelter magazines, such as Fine Homebuilding, and design blogs, including her own, House Enthusiast. Hutchison and her husband live in Warren, Rhode Island.
