This book features unique and timeless French-inspired interiors created by those who have a lifelong love affair with French style. In "Essentially French", antiques dealer and stylist Josephine Ryan offers a privileged glimpse into the homes of antique dealers who have a passion for French style. The homes featured include farmhouses, townhouses and apartments, and their decorative styles may differ, but all have something in common - each and every one showcases the beauty of traditional French furniture and accessories, and demonstrates the understated elegance of French life. From the chic simplicity of a Parisian apartment, to the intriguing eclecticism of a London home and the traditional charm of a Provencal farmhouse, the carefully-chosen locations illustrate the many facets of classic French style. This beautiful book is perfect for anyone who seeks ideas for their own French-inspired interior, or for those who simply want to dream...

I purchased this book on the strength of her previous book French Home, which is one of my favorites. On first flicking through I wasn't impressed as the images seemed dull and I wasn't that impressed that it was images from homes of other interior designers/antique dealers but I gave it another go and the images are really very interesting and the homes are understandably, being antique dealers, full of interesting objects and furniture. It really is a beautiful book and of more interest as the images are not of room sets but real homes.

This is one of those books I just love to look at on a cold, wet day when I'm at home and feel I need to be inspired. Perfect when you're itching to make a few changes at home such as moving pictures, re-arranging furniture etc. The photography is fabulous. Ok, not many of us could practically live like this...but we can dream. High recommended if you love the French look.

Although there was an element of 'lovey darling', as the properties all seemed to be owned by arty or wealthy antique dealers, there are plenty of inspiring images to allow you to create your own french haven. A motivating collection of ideas.

I just love this book. It grows on me each time I delve in for a browse. Somehow I keep seeing new things I didn't spot the last time I looked and it is a really refreshing source of inspiration for creating comfortable and characterful interiors.

i had high hopes for this book, but unlike all the other books i have ordered on amazon i was a bit disappointed when it arrived. maybe it was just me but the fact that so many of the photographs contained dead birds and animals really put me off. i think animals are much more beautiful alive than stuffed :(
i accept this might just be me.
