A big disappointment, 17 Mar 2002
By Paula Carr - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: French Influences (Hardcover)
I was expecting so much more from this book, and I was disappointed with what I got. The photographs are beautifully done, but the contents of the pictures were so safe and conservative and devoid of personality. Not what I would expect from a book dealing with French taste -- which appeals to me usually for it's bravery and panache in it's interior design. About the only thing the rooms in this book shout to me was money. More money than style. More desire to impress than true chic. I want to see personality in interiors, and this book presents a heartless, soul-deadening succession of very expensive, very uninteresting rooms.

The Nicest Room is on the Cover, 23 Aug 2003
By Bekka - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: French Influences (Hardcover)
The rest of the book is page after page of heavy, ornate rooms that lack individuality and warmth. The decor is superficially beautiful because all the "signals" of wealth are there: expensive sofas and chairs, brocade curtains, period furniture, "French" bric-a-brac, but ultimately it's a collection of overly-designed showpieces.

How French ambiance is added to a room, 10 Nov 2001
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: French Influences (Hardcover)
Homeowners who would duplicate the French idea of design and atmosphere will find this an intriguing blend of lavish color photos and discussions of how French ambiance is added to a room. From resources used to achieve changes to the four key elements of interior design and the influences deemed particularly French, Betty Lou Phillips' French Influences is packed with commendable insights.
