Editorial Review:
Whether you go wall-to-wall or simply select a few mood-setting accents, this exquisitely photographed idea book will inspire the French country designer within. Pull together a bedroom with a jaunty Provencal fabric, furnish the dining area with handsomely carved antique pieces, or warm up a sterile space with charmingly rugged architectural details. Use decorative touches from wrought iron fixtures to rich color schemes, to infuse every type of room--living room, kitchen, bath, even the patio-with earthy, romantic appeal. Charming details help keep the country feel and capture the quaint, rustic flavor of traditional French rural life, even in the most modern American home. The result: a look that's elegant yet succeeds in staying cozy and comfortable, too.

This book is not quite the real French Country, but more of an adaptation. It is a good reference book, though, especially alongside New French Country, my personal french country bible.
Rating: - Highly recommended French Country book
This is one of the best books on French Country design that I own. It contains far more photos than most books and rather than showcase US mansions done in French style, it actually shows many French homes. The homes are also not just multi-million dollar mansions, so you can get an idea of how a treatment might look in a home like yours. The writing is excellent without the run-on sentences and self-aggrandizement of Betty Lou Phillips' books. Compare the number of pages and photos listed for this ... Read More
Rating: - I love this book
Unlike many French country books, this is a manageable book to read and the lovely photos are not so over-the-top that you can't apply the well-described concepts to more modest homes and spaces.
Rating: - Home to French country
