Awful!,
By H.R "Book Lover" (Calgary, Alberta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The French Room (Hardcover)
I found this book to such a huge disappointment, the text was written in such a bizarre manner! It was quite rambling and not very helpful. The book is mostly pictures but again it's a very specific style that is more Betty Lou Phillip's then it is truly French, I would not buy this book again or another book from this author.

Tres Chic...Tres Magnifique!!,
By hockey fan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The French Room (Hardcover)
Along with Charles Faudree's new Interiors, I have been anxiously awaiting Betty Lou Phillips' The French Room. I wasn't disappointed. Although not every lifestyle allows for the abundance of objets d'art or the high-end luxury fabrics on every upholstered piece, I can still appreciate the beauty and design of the rooms presented. I like the somewhat cleaner line of Ms. Phillips' interiors and those of the designers also featured. It's a shame that this is a decorating style that does not transition itself down well to the mass market, but maybe that's why it's so appealing. Lovely photographs and a wealth of anecdotal information on accomplishing the French style...whatever your budget.

French Design Worth Reading,
By Bonnie Rodriguez "pianistvabch" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The French Room (Hardcover)
Another library shelf must-have. Great taking off point to redesign your room. Gives you pictorial direction on furnishings from all angles--upholstery fabrics, style of upholstery especially in sofa skirt/arm design, room layout, accessories, it's all there! Great resource for any DIY Interior Designer who loves all things French!

Must have for yourself, great gift for others,
By S. L. Freeman "Antiques collector" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The French Room (Hardcover)
Every time I look throuigh this beautifully illustrated and written book, I find more ideas and inspiration. I am so glad to have The French Room as my own so I can refer back to the pages for details and other decorating tips. I think that it is a wonderful Christmas gift for friends who appreciate owning or dreaming about elegantly appointed homes. For those who have Betty Lou's other books, this is a must-have book for your collection.
