Unmistakably French, the fifth book in Betty Lou Phillips' best - selling series on interpreting French d cor for American homes, broadens yet again the limits of what French style can do for a home. No matter the location or size of the room to be decorated, the French rarely stray from favored and well - known characteristics of design - eighteenth - century furniture, sumptuous textiles, distinctive porcelains, and oil paintings in original carved - wood frames. In Phillips' newest book, she defines some of these specific secrets that French designers use to create an authentic French look - these certain basic decorating values they hold dear, seducing us with their self - assured approach to glamour, culture, and enduring respect for history. The book includes four sections: Passion for French, Art of Living, Savoir - Faire, and Fluent French. The style and settings seen in these contemporary homes, while American, are Unmistakably French. Betty Lou Phillips, ASID, is a renowned designer and the best - selling author of Provencal Interiors, French by Design, French Influences, and Villa D cor. She lives in Dallas, Texas.
