High quality color photographs throughout. Annotati

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful!, 24 Feb 2001

By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: French by Design (Hardcover)

If you like French design, you should get this book. I really love the photographs. While this book is mostly photographs, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading about the French and their attitudes on decorating and love for their homes. Betty Lou Phillips has wonderful taste, and her style is so enjoyable. Thank you to Country Living magazine for featuring her work!

5.0 out of 5 stars Showcases a distinctly upscale series of interior designs, 12 Jan 2001

By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: French by Design (Hardcover)

Enhanced with 130 beautiful color photographs, Betty Phillips' French By Design showcases a distinctly upscale series of interior designs. Whether displaying a storage space or an entire room, a piece of furniture or a single door frame, a decorative object d'art or a functional piece, French By Design reveals how to incorporate a exquisite French-country style motif into any living room, dining area, kitchen, bedroom, bath, library, children's room, garden or terrace, fabric or furnishing. French By Design is a wonderful addition to any personal, academic, profession, or community library interior design reference book collection.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should you buy French By Design?, 13 Aug 2005

By Blakes - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: French by Design (Hardcover)

I just did. The homes & rooms featured in this book indicate that money is no object and these homeowners want you to know it. Subtlety is non-existant. Rooms are very "we had a decorator & we spent a LOT". Most items looks too new, too ruffled, smocked, tucked and otherwise adorned. HOWEVER, if you can get past the pictures & READ THE TEXT- Phillips has a lot to say that is excellent. She lists sources & frequently shares fascinating comments on everyday details of French style (who knew about brass hardware vs brushed nickel?). If you read; buy it. If you look only at photos, don't! Charles Faudree is much better in the genre in my opinion.
