5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book full of ideas for even modest homes., February 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: French Country at Home (Hardcover)

Many book written about French style focus on very elaborate homes and apartments. Passero's book shows the reader how to key in on what makes a room uniquely French, and gives suggetsions on how to translate that look into ordinary homes no matter how limited your budget.

This review is from: French Country at Home (Paperback)

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.

This review is from: French Country at Home (Paperback)

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.
