In this book I really pulled the boat out and did 50, yes FIFTY pieces of furniture, before and after pics with step by steps of mainly furniture with a few walls and floors. The furniture was on the whole old pieces but I did take a few new pieces and also some metal lampbases and a cement garden pot.

Brilliant photography by Christopher Drake who also did the photography on Creating the French Look

This is French style in a way you haven't seen before. The French look is simple but the influences are many. Greys, whites and linens with toile de Jouy is the most well known look but we also have chic and quirky Parisian influence as well as the sunny and bright look from the south. In this book I use my experience as an interior designer to combine the use of paint colour and fabrics to create the french look with 25 easy to follow step by steps.
