Product Description
Carolyn Westbrook brings you her first-hand knowledge, acquired through years of combing French flea markets for unique treasures, of what makes a beautiful French interior. Designer and decorator Carolyn Westbrook's love affair with all that is French inspired began long before she ever travelled to France. Growing up in the US, her Southern heritage was infused by French influences - from the chic elegance of New Orleans to the romance of southern plantation houses. Subsequent travels to France filled her with a passion that has influenced her designs and interiors ever since and 'The French Inspired' has become her own signature style. Immerse yourself in her own beautiful plantation house, a sleek urban apartment or a classically elegant town house. Each home featured has its own distinctive style, but all are essentially 'French' in their inspiration, whether it comes from a distressed, gilded carved mirror, or a faded, frayed rug that exudes age in just the right places and could never be purchased from a department store. Carolyn Westbrook prides herself on these French-inspired interiors that are classic and timeless but never stuffy. These interiors are not about the latest trends, but meant to inspire longevity and a true romance with your own home. The French have mastered the art of this time-worn yet sophisticated style of living, and you too will fall in love with the colours, the textures and the inspiration that is truly French.

I get to see Carolyn's inspiring work every fall and spring in Warrenton.
Her designs are practically beautiful, comfortable, homey and inventive.
The warmth of her personality and love of friends and family come through her
work. What a gift.

I met Carolyn Westbrook over the weekend at the Country Living Fair in Atlanta. She was so engaging, warm and funny. We had never met, yet it felt like I was talking to a long, lost friend. I purchased her newest book and it is divine! I love how the look is romantic, soft and inviting. I especially enjoyed seeing the full picture then a close-up of the vignettes on the side tables or mantles. You will not be disappointed! Purchase this book!!

On the whole, I liked the rooms in this book. Maybe a little more shabby chic than I care for...please lose the baggy white slipcovers. So many of the sofas hiding under the slipcovers were probably better looking and did more for the decor than the yards of white canvas did.
