It is my desire to share with you books that bring me hours (yes hours) of pleasure. Along with Charles Faudree, my favorite author and illustrator of French Interiors is Betty Lou Phillips. Her pictures are absolutely incredible. Because we have traveled all over France, we, like her have fallen in love with everything French, especially interior design and outdoor spaces.
I can pick up any of her books for a visual treat and be transformed to the French countryside without the expense of a costly plane ticket. Although, I must admit, it does make me want to purchase a ticket to France and be on the next plane to Paris.
Within the pages of her books, I am reminded of the details that make a room or outdoor area uniquely French. I am in the process of incorporating old and new to update my guest bedroom to include crocheted laces, a monogrammed pillow, fluffy bedding that mingles well with my treasured Angel prints, tapestry, and French furniture. I will reveal pictures when it is more complete. I say more complete, because I don't know if a room is ever complete when you dwell in a home for long time. it's fun to update and edit.
Below are books by Betty Lou Phillips I have many of them, and the one's I don't have, I have made a goal to purchase. My personal favorite, at this point in time, is Unmistak
