No matter that its roots are firmly planted in the small stone farm-house, or, mas, the typical dwelling in the Provence region. It is equally appealing in a remote chateau as in a stately manor house, or bastide. The most inviting homes exude comfort, tradition, and grace. Most people, though, say it is charm that best characterizes the French interior. But how does one go about achieving the provencal ambience? At its finest, French country style is the harmonious mingling of fabrics, textures, and patterns. Through stunning photographs, informative text, and an extensive resource list, Provencal Interiors details everything necessary for creating this harmonious mingling in America -- from wall coverings, to floor coverings, window treatments, linens, and furnishings. All 125 lavish photographs showcase the tradition of French country interiors in America. minimize
