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.

About the Author:

Charles Faudree graduated from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, with a degree in art. His client list is international, and he is regarded as a master of Country French style. This is his first book. He lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

With her inimitable flair for style, Charlotte Moss has led a celebrated career in the interior design world.

For each of the rooms featured - from a sumptuous Directoire-style bedroom inspired by the incomparable Pauline de Rothschild to a gentlemen’s billiard room with rich details and a smart tailored feel - Moss breaks down the various stages of her design process, revealing her inspiration and storyboards, as well as sketches and notes she develops for every project. In each chapter, she offers the reader quick "doses" of decorating advice with her signature "Why Not?" decorating maxims.

The book also includes Moss’s recommendations for her favourite flowers and fragrances for the final flourish in creating the perfect room. Her interiors, with a nod to both the historical elegance of the past and the modern necessities of today (comfort and livability), are truly sublime spaces. With over 200 sumptuous photographs, Moss graciously invites the reader to be engaged, inspired, and "ready to decorate."

This stunning volume provides an enchanting visit to one of the most storied and beautiful English country houses.

No place embodies the spirit of the English country house better than Chatsworth. From best-selling books such as Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire and Chatsworth: The House by Deborah Mitford, the late Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, American audiences have long been transfixed by this remarkable place and its extraordinary collection of art and decorative objects.

Today, Chatsworth’s facade is newly cleaned and its windows freshly gilded. The forward-looking current Duke of Devonshire, who likes to say that “everything was new once,” has redone the public and private rooms. This tour-de-force volume is his telling of the story of Chatsworth through seven historical periods accompanied by stunning photographic portraits of the house, its collections, and the grounds.

Chatsworth contains countless treasures from Nicolas Poussin’s Et in Arcadia Ego and Antonio Canova’s Endymion to seminal modern works by Lucian Freud and David Hockney. Though filled with works from different time periods, the collection represents the very best of the “new” from each artistic era.

Par une approche stylistique, cet important ouvrage s’attache à présenter les cheminées françaises depuis l’époque gothique jusqu’à la première moitié du XXe siècle. Essentiellement en pierre et en marbre, mais aussi en bois, elles témoignent des constantes recherches des architectes, ornemanistes, tailleurs de pierre et sculpteurs pour sublimer le décor de la cheminée.

    Living in the city offers a series of advantages: public transport, proximity to amenities, schools and work places, museums, sports centres, restaurants, etc. The city attracts an increasing number of young people, as well as the elders who return after having lived in the countryside or quiet suburbs for decades.
    This book presents a series of recently renovated and remodelled urban residences: majestic master houses that are restored to their original glory, as well as contemporary island houses, exclusive villas, and new
apartments, lofts and penthouses.
    A similarity lies in this range of diversified works: the inspiration of architects, interior designers and the residents into a spatial unity, serenity and quality of life that are reflected in the structure of each house, and in the selection of materials and colours.
    This publication serves a source of inspiration for those who currently reside in the city, or are aspiring to purchase or rent a house to soak in the glorious sights and sounds of city life.

To say that the city has once again become the preferred habitat of humans would be stating the obvious. It has been calculated that in the next few years nearly 80% of humanity will live or work in the city. Inevitably, people feel a powerful and rather inexplicable attraction for the masses, modernity, and technology. The city holds our strongest desires and highest achievements, but also our toughest challenges and greatest uncertainty. The modern city imposes a rhythm on our lives that is reflected in our homes and in how we want them to be. Beyond its surface area, a house, as an extension of our own bodies, is and should be a mirror of our habits, customs and tastes; the entire urban space, from tiny flats to spacious lofts and single-family homes, must have a certain grandeur that its occupant can identify with. Just as the uniformity of a media-driven society searches for what's new and for style of its own, the need is similarly emerging to personalize our homes.

This lavish book presents the distinguished fabrics of Clarence House, one of the world’s most renowned textile houses, with inspiring applications for interiors.  For the past fifty years Clarence House, founded by Robin Roberts in 1961, has been infusing the textile industry with luxurious and inventive fabrics. From Mark Hampton to Robert Couturier to Charlotte Moss, interior designers have long relied on the firm’s superb fabrics to add just the right note to their decorating schemes. This book presents some of the most imaginative textiles available today and provides an array of inspirational fabric applications and ingenious choices for upholstering furniture, creating dreamy window treatments, and adding finishing touches such as tassels and other trims.  The heart of the book, however, illuminates Kazumi Yoshida's creative process and his ideas for use of fabrics in the home. Whether he is interpreting historical documents or drawing in the studio he is always concocting modernist abstractions, contemporary prints, or new interpretations of eighteenth-century patterns.

‘I admire Suzanne Trocmé’s attitudes, words and ideas. I respect and admire that she can see so many things clearly that apparently contradict each other, but which are for me the keys of today’s and tomorrow’s sensitivity.’ – Andrée Putman

Classic chic is timeless, the interior-design equivalent of the ‘little black dress’. And just like the LBD, sophisticated accessories can add drama, whilst natural lines and classic beauty shine through when a space is unadorned. However it’s presented, classic chic exudes a sense of quality and durability, unaffected by fashion and fads. Classic chic is a class act. So what distinguishes it, and how can it be created?

Suzanne Trocmé’s fascinating exploration of these questions weaves together analyses of design principles and their practical applications, as well as profiling a selection of exemplary interiors – each a hymn to order, elegance, comfort restraint or drama – from some of the worlds best designers and architects.

Classic Chic discusses the principles of such design in depth, examining architecture and space, shape, colour and texture, and investigating the specific elements of the style, including furniture fabric, details and ornaments. Drawing on inspiration both modern and historical, as well as her own creative understanding, the author distils the very essence of chic.

Featuring more than 300 specially commissioned photographs, and a directory of resources and designers, Classic Chic is an essential read for hopeful homeowners, armchair enthusiasts and, of course, hands on designers.
