French Country... This book was okay but NOT the best by far. I was rather disappointed with its contents and lack of style.
Lovely book to dream over, with rules to decorate by Sumptuous photos of sumptuous French provincial houses, with helpful guidelines about what characterizes French country decors (though I agree with one reviewer that not too many French country houses look like this). I particularly like the author's emphasis on how livable the style is, and find this to be true too. Buyer beware however that French country may look a lot different in an American ranch house: a lot of the charm comes from plastered stone walls, old beams and well-worn tile floors.
French Country Living The pictures in this book are beautiful. It is exactly what I was looking for!
Lovely I bought this book without knowing much about it and I found it very interesting and the pictures are lovely. It's better than I had expected.
Lovely Beautiful book. Inspiring photographs that capture French country style (obviously, note the title). My only complaint about Clifton-Mogg books is that the photos are recycled. I see the same photos is many other books. There are MANY wonderful estates, villas, and country properties out there - - - it would be nice to see more of them instead of these multi-used images. The "recycles photos" are no problem if you just have one of her books - - but if you buy many European decorating books, you may see repeat photos.
