The French like to think that a sense of style is in their genes, a gift inherited. And perhaps this is true. For like father like son, like mother like daughter, placing the millions of Americans obsessed with French decor in a less than enviable position. But not to worry. Just as the color purple is not solely for royals anymore, that certain je ne sais quoi that lies behind most every Gallic door is not just a right of the French.
In this her tenth design book, acclaimed designer and award-winning author BETTY LOU PHILLIPS authoritatively translates fervent beliefs that have long defined the French art de vive, while artfully sculpting satisfying rooms that that owe more than a little to French influences. And unlike other design books, FRENCH IMPRESSIONS, offers insight into the manners and mores of the Parisians themselves. |
