Charles Faudree has elevated French Country style to a fine
art. With an exuberant decorating attitude based around his
favorite principle that "too much is never enough", Faudree has
achieved an international reputation for creating settings that
have all the elegant accoutrements of a French Country estate,
lacking pretension but never charm.
With a discerning taste for the eclectic, Faudree is a master at
one of the main tenets of this style-combining traditional prints,
patterns, colors, and textures with just the right furnishings.
Faudree has always been drawn, almost charismatically, to the charm
of Country French. He comments, "There is simplicity, a gentle
softness to the furnishings I find very calming and soothing. I
love the mix of fabrics, blending plaids with florals and old
tapestries. Country French is a truly working-class style."
Faudree is delighted to finally share his extensive knowledge
with the public, in this long-overdue book that focuses on how to
make any home into an elegant, inviting, and comfortable French
Country retreat.
