Average Rating:
 Rating:  - French ideasThis book gave me great ideas for decorating my home. I look through it periodically just to see if I've missed something, and I always pick up something. I recommend it if your into decorating French or Italian style. Rating: - Lovely book, great ideasBetty Lou Phillips has done it again.

The dazzling photographs bring to life interiors and exteriors that are both inspiring and transporting. I am anxiously awaiting Betty Lou's next fabulous complilation of beauty, style and inspiration. Taylor ...

The illustrations, easy to understand and helpful captions and the historically interesting and practical text combine to make this a welcome guide and reference. Best of all, it describes the kind of home and furnishings most men should love. It is not foo-foo French. It is fun French, with a little Italian flavor thrown in for excitement. Every man should buy this book for his wife or equivalent in the hopes that some day he might enjoy living in such ... Read More
