SynopsisCountry Living editor Nia Williams had never visited Provence, yet visions of that fabled French region permeated her dreams. And so, with a little help from some talented artists, she transformed her own simple Denver home (inside and out) into a small bit of Provenal heaven. Everywhere trompe l'oeil murals turn the walls into a storybook peopled with imaginary characters and landscapes from a tiny imaginary Provenal village. And each detail, from the ceramic dishes to the small soaps in the bathroom to the wrought iron furniture on the patio, has the perfect Provenal touch. Williams herself explains her inspiration, and the reasons behind all her choices. A pure delight and true original, this blend of romance and design primer also includes tasty tidbits like Provenal recipes (Garlic Rabbit) and information on the Provenal crafts of lacemaking, enamelware, and more., Country Living editor Nina Williams had never visited Provence, yet visions of that fabled French region permeated her dreams.

  • Fairy Tale Provence Cottage

    I found this book very different to others about French inspired homes. The decoration is different and some of the mural type paintings in the cottage are both colourful and very unique. The flea market inspired decoration is interesting and colourful to say the least. Overall inspires one to doo something out of the box as far as French décor goes.
