I drooled over this book in a bookstore and then came home and ordered it from Amazon for a better price! This book contains a lot of “how to” sections…faux painting/finishing, simple sewing projects, giving objects a patina, etc, so that you can create the French look…it’s not just a pretty picture design book. However, it DOES have wonderful pictures which will certainly inspire any French decorating aficionado –or anyone who just LOVES simple/rustic/shabby interior decorating like I do!

I loved this book. First, the photography was beautiful. And secondly, it was full of the authentic french looks I love; French mannequins, furniture, linens, etc. The first part of the book is organized into 8 different french “looks”. The second part features four different areas of the home, living room, ditchen and dining room, bedroom and bathroom and garden rooms to which these various looks are applied. Sprinkled throughout the book are several different projects to be created to achieve the french look. I loved the book, not so much for the projects, (which I’m too lazy to attempt) but for the visual ideas used to pull together a variety of french styles and looks. I could do without the projects, but you can’t beat the pictures!

A treasure trove of ideas that make creating French style in the home just a few easy projects away. Whether your taste is rustic and simple, eclectic bohemian, or sophisticated in the grand manner, this book provides a veritable template with detailed easy to follow instructions and plenty of photographs. None of the projects are too demanding or intimidating. Each style has been pared down to its essential–paint color choices, fabrics, accessories and so forth, making it easy for do-it-yourselfers to achieve the classic French decor so popular today. A must-have reference for francophile decorators.
