Editorial Reviews

Review

"Betty Lou Phillips' 10th release is replete with elegant colors and textures." (Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles )

"The book offers inspiration on everything from dressing windows in your salon, bed chambers, and the 'enviable French kitchen' with its open shelving." (Dallas Morning News )


Product Description

In The French Room, best-selling author and interior designer Betty Lou Phillips explains the age-wisdom and fervent beliefs that have long defined French decorating and reveals the principles behind designing the perfect French room. With more than 200 awe-inspiring photographs, The French Room also shares secrets on the ways color solves irksome design problems without moving walls or making other structural improvements, addresses the art of hanging art and dressing salon windows, then moves into the French kitchen and bed chamber to explore those unique cultures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tres Chic...Tres Magnifique!!, September 30, 2008
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The French House a la American Lifestyle, February 16, 2009

I have all of Betty's books and enjoy them all. They inspire me in my French Decor Fettish. I always take mine one step further though with authentic Sevres' French Porcelain added for the perfect touch. The original chateau on the outskirts of Paris is still there & has a shop where you can purchase even today....every oil barron home I have ever visited has this same "look".

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have for yourself, great gift for others, November 12, 2008
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.
