Product Description

Product Description
Inspired by the sun-drenched colours of Southern France, French country or Provencal decorating is as fitting in the city and suburbs as in rural areas. But how does one go about achieving the provencal ambience?
Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
country's diverse climate and terrain hampered local traditions from being shared by the people nearby. Today, it is the blurring together of these ancient regional characteristics that has given life to the style known as provencal, or French country. Read the first page

2.0 out of 5 stars These interiors have nothing to do with Provence !, 4 Aug 1999
By A Customer
What a disapointment ! None of the interiors presented has anything to do with Provencal or even French style. The book features interiors obviously designed by American decorators for wealthy and non discrimating American clients. Nowhere is to be found the true spirit of the French decoration or the Provencal style. A waste of time and money. Quite insulting for the true French style lover.

2.0 out of 5 stars The contrived look stinks of money -- not originality., 25 Dec 1998
By A Customer
The book was a disappointing waste of my money. There is no original thought or style to inform or inspire the reader. The information presented can be found and explored with greater depth in other sources. The biggest fault is that the decoration on most pages is so obviously done by a decorator for wealthy American clients. The references are generic French and certainly not Provencal.

4.0 out of 5 stars A beautifully presented book, 15 Oct 1998
By A Customer
There are picture books and there are picture books. This is one of the better ones that will do more than grace a coffee table. There's a lot to learn about decorating in a style that is consonant with southern France. The text is informative and authoritative and it is a volume of real immersion even if you have no intention of redecorating your house. Very nicely done, and worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful photography
I thought the book was beautifully done. It was both informative and artistic. The photographer did an excellent job of capturing the individual atmosphere of each of the rooms.
