The French Inspired Home by Carolyn Westbrook
Do you remember me waiting to get this fabulous book in the mail?
Take a peek at the images...
Well now I have a special treat to offer my followers!
Cico Books has offered to give a copy to one of my followers!
Yes, this gorgeous book on French decor!
They saw me raving about it after reading a review on Cote De Texas.
Joni was right~the book does not disappoint
and it is loaded with breathtaking pictures.
I wish author Carolyn Westbrook was my sister so I could hang
out at her house and travel with her to the Paris flea markets.
This gorgeous kitchen with my favorite purple transferware
makes my heart skip a beat.
Beadboard, painted cabinets with glass doors and the mix of an
iron chandelier and farmhouse fixtures all in one glorious space!
Cico Books has even more to say about my latest obsession:
Designer and decorator Carolyn Westbrooks love affair with all that is French inspired began long before she ever travelled to France. Growing up in the US, her Southern heritage was infused by French influences from the chic elegance of New Orleans to the romance of southern plantation houses. Here, Carolyn brings you her first-hand knowledge, acquired through years of combing French flea markets for unique treasures, of what makes a beautiful French interior. Immerse yourself in her own beautiful plantation house, a sleek urban apartment or a classically elegant town house. Each home featured has its own distinctive style, but all are essentially French in their inspiration, whether it comes from a distressed gilded mirror, or a faded rug that exudes age in just the right places. Carolyn Westbrook prides herself on these French-inspired interiors that are classic and timeless but never stuffy. The French have mastered the art of this time-worn yet sophisticated style of living, and you too will fall in love with the colours, the textures and the inspiration that is truly French.

ReplyDeleteAmy - Wow! that's easy because I love reading Maison Decor and leaving you comments about your beautiful blog. This book is lovely and I enjoy the sophisticated, yet relaxed way in which the items are collaged together. I agree, the French style of blending together items in a seemlingly effortless manner, is fabulous - sort of how french women dress (we all envy them). I collect Blue Willow and anytime I can see interesting ways to display this porcelain I love it! Thanks for the glimpse - and congrats on the giveaway! xo tamara

I just started following your blog. Love all the chalk paint info...thank you. My stock it's doesn't have the best classes sadly to say. So any gold nuggets you can pass along are greatly appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI Googled French country paint for walls and your site immediately appeared in the search. I was looking for a "greige" as you call it and voilà! You listed it: Benjamin Moore #1515. Love it! I love your French inspired ideas!
