"Like other great memoirists--M.F.K. Fisher, Frances Mayes, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Karen Blixen come to mind--Frances has written a book that is more than just another memoir." -From the foreword by Newell Turner "Finally... a decorating book for people who aren't afraid of 'pretty.' Frances can make anything pretty, from a breakfast tray to a guest room to a garden. Bee Cottage is pure joy. Color, comfort, and Frances. It's the happiest house I know." -Stephen Drucker, journalist and former editor-in-chief House Beautiful Magazine " The Bee Cottage Story by Frances Schultz is a true delight. Every woman in America will love this witty, wise, and wonderful book. Absolutely charming from start to finish." -Fannie Flagg, author, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe "Through every page, the candor, wit, and soul of The Bee Cottage Story would have made me fall head-over-heels for Frances Schultz... if I hadn't already done that many years ago!" -Alex Hitz, author, My Beverly Hills Kitchen " The Bee Cottage Story is a refreshing memoir that defines the art of living well, uniquely illustrates Frances Schultz's passion for aesthetics, but at the same times she gives us a window into her character. She reveals that she is more than just a woman of style: She is a woman of substance." -Annette Tapert, author, The Power of Style "I have said for years that in my next life, I want to be funny. Today, after getting to know Frances Schultz, reading her thoughtful and laugh-out-loud blog, and reveling in her marvelous book The Bee Cottage Story , I can amend my comment and say, 'In my next life, I want to be funny--just like Frances Schultz.' Her humor is the down-home sort that I love, and resonates so because it is infused with grace, common sense, and humanity." -Carolyne Roehm, author, A Passion for Interiors and A Passion for Flowers, "Lighthearted, self-indulgent, frivolous, and likable--a good beach read, especially in the Hamptons." -- Publishers Weekly "Frances Schultz . . . has built a career on her sense of beauty, her storytelling genius, and her warm Southern charm." -- Signature magazine "Like other great memoirists--M.F.K. Fisher, Frances Mayes, Elizabeth Gilbert, and Karen Blixen come to mind--Frances has written a book that is more than just another memoir." --From the foreword by Newell Turner "Finally... a decorating book for people who aren''t afraid of ''pretty.''

Her humor is the down-home sort that I love, and resonates so because it is infused with grace, common sense, and humanity." --Carolyne Roehm, author of A Passion for Interiors and A Passion for Flowers "It is a rare bird that shares her failures and her successes and has you laughing hysterically at both. Frances Schultz is that rare, straight-talking Southern belle of a bird." --Charlotte Moss " The Bee Cottage Story is an affecting and eminently readable memoir of love and loss, forgiveness and discovery, the healing power of decorating, and the self-knowledge gained by creating a home. I loved reliving the author's journey--room by room, experience by experience. The design tips are swell; the life lessons even better. Schultz's voice is at once insightful, funny, self-deprecating, wise. Reading this book is like having a revelatory chat with your smartest, dearest friend--in very cozy surroundings." --Julia Reed, author of But Mama Always Put Vodka in Her Sangria ; and contributing editor at Garden & Gun " The Bee Cottage Story is laced with laugh-out-loud dry humor as Frances Schultz peels back the onion of her mercurial journey through cancer diagnosis, recovery, and lost and regained love; whilst dispensing well-honed decorating advice. Her beloved Bee Cottage is the laboratory for re-shaping her life, both inside and out." --Nina Griscom, designer and lifestyle expert "Author and interiors expert Frances Schultz is like the Julia Roberts of the design world. Or at least Roberts' character in ''Eat Pray Love.'' In Schultz's case, a series of personal mishaps--from cancer to a failed engagement and a surprise new love--unfolded just as the magazine writer and blogger bought and renovated a cozy Hamptons hideaway. Ultimately, both Schultz and her beach home had happy endings. And the journey--wallpaper, wainscoting and all--has been lovingly chronicled in the new memoir, The Bee Cottage Story ." --David Kaufman, NY Post, "Lighthearted, self-indulgent, frivolous, and likable--a good beach read, especially in the Hamptons." -- Publishers Weekly "Frances Schultz . . . has built a career on her sense of beauty, her storytelling genius, and her warm Southern charm." -- Signature magazine "Like other great memoirists--M.F.K.

Synopsis
Inspired by Frances Schultz's popular House Beautiful magazine series on the makeover of her East Hampton house, Bee Cottage, what began as a decorating book evolved into a memoir combining the best elements of both: beautiful photos and a compelling personal story. Schultz taps into what she learned during her renovations of Bee Cottage--determining how each area in the house and garden would be used and furnished--to unravel the question of how a mature, intelligent, successful woman could have made such a mess of her personal life. As she figures out each room over a period of years, Frances finds a new path in life, also a continual process. She comes to learn that, like decorating a home, our lives must adapt to who we are and what we need at different points along the way. The Bee Cottage Story is part memoir, part home decorating guide. Frances discusses the kinds of useful, commonsense design issues professionals take for granted and the rest of us just may not think of, prompting the reader to examine and discover her own "truth" in decorating--and in her life.
