The French look is one of the most popular and enduring for modern interiors—appreciated for its simple, uncluttered style and ornate individual pieces. Whether you want to make grand curtains like those from a chateau or paint a cupboard in rustic style, Creating the French Look shows you how. Twenty-five step-by-step projects demonstrate the three definitive styles of French decoration: The gilded elegance of the French chateau, the simple French farmhouse and its more colorful Provençal counterpart, and the urban, tailored town house. • Discover how to achieve French decorative style by using the right colors and fabrics. • Get to grips with scale—from the grand statement of the painted armoire to the finishing touch of a little posy of lavender. • Each section includes a wealth of techniques using paint and textiles.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Merely okay -
I was expecting SO much more from this book. There just wasn't enough "meat" and way too many crafty ideas.

Do it Like the French -
A treasure trove of ideas that make creating French style in the home just a few easy projects away. Whether your taste is rustic and simple, eclectic bohemian, or sophisticated in the grand manner, this book provides a veritable template with detailed easy to follow instructions and plenty of photographs. None of the projects are too demanding or intimidating. Each style has been pared down to its essential--paint color choices, fabrics, accessories and so forth, making it easy for do-it-yourselfers to achieve the classic French decor so popular today. A must-have reference for francophile decorators.

Wow I love it! -
I loved this book. First, the photography was beautiful. And secondly, it was full of the authentic french looks I love; French mannequins, furniture, linens, etc. The first part of the book is organized into 8 different french "looks". The second part features four different areas of the home, living room, ditchen and dining room, bedroom and bathroom and garden rooms to which these various looks are applied. Sprinkled throughout the book are several different projects to be created to achieve the french look. I loved the book, not so much for the projects, (which I'm too lazy to attempt) but for the visual ideas used to pull together a variety of french styles and looks. I could do without the projects, but you can't beat the pictures!

Not what I hoped for... -
I did not expect a specific "how to" (craft-type) book. The photos were very good but the overall book wa a disappointment.
