Charmante! Adorable! Jolie!,
By L. M. Keefer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essentially French: Homes with Classic French Style (Hardcover)
If you love French home interiors, you'll love this book as it takes you inside diverse homes from a Provencal farmhouse to a Paris apartment to view the many ways simple French design can be interpreted. If you liked Josephine Ryan's previous book on French design, I think you'll like this book even better as it showcases a mix of actual dwellings which utilize French design and furnishings. If you like the style on the cover of this book, you'll love the book--this is one book which you can judge by its cover! I found it a French feast of design vignettes and rooms.

Review by [...],
By BeachBrights "beachbrights blogspot" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Essentially French: Homes with Classic French Style (Hardcover)
The is a nice sized coffee table book with a wonderful cover. The book is divided into 3 main sections: Simple French, Elegant French and Eclectic French. It exhibits traditional French style with many different views of homes. One of my favorites is the home of Spencer Swaffer, Flower Power. This home is a bright harmonious mix of French styles that will leave you cheerful and inspired.Another show stopper is the pictures showcasing La Fabrique. The extraordinary bathroom in this home has four shiny basins, hand-bevelled mirrors and a magnificent slate-floor. Through-out this book is several other pictures that left me "dog-earing" the corners of the page: a swedish buffet with the most perfect worn paint, moss covered staddle stones, minimalist stone staircase and a long zinc-topped table. Really, there is something for everyone! 7 of 8 people found the following review helpful
