Want the savoir-faire to decorate your home ? la the classic French country style?
A top designer with an international clientele and 35 years of experience, Faudree presents his second book on the Country French style. Illustrated with large, full-color photographs throughout, this charming volume outlines the principles of the Provencal aesthetic for the uninitiated: unexpected fabric combinations, eclectic adornments, soothing symmetry and a special emphasis on the details. He also shares his philosophy of decorating—each feature of the home has a personality waiting to be brought out by the right accoutrements: A bedroom is a sanctuary, walls are a stage and window treatments best express a room's character. Faudree is a master at creative combinations—like plaids with florals and new items with antiques—that pull together to form a cohesive and balanced picture. From the overall theme of the room down to the last throw pillow, Faudree keeps the reader engaged in this exquisitely photographed volume.
A beautiful book that will be appreciated by any home decorator with a discerning eye for detail and a taste for comfortable elegance, French-style. Copyright 2005, VNU Business Media, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
