More than ever, our homes are our refuge. And there’s no design style that can transport you quite like the French country look. The sophisticated take on rustic interiors shirks the trendy and new in favor of timeworn pieces and layered spaces that put one at ease. Distressed antiques mingle with glimmering accents and frilly florals for a twirled-up take on the ever-popular farmhouse style. French Country Home & Living celebrates this elegant- meets-rough-hewn aesthetic with 116 pages brimming with fresh decorating ideas, shopping finds and weekend projects. Consider it carte blanche to creating a home that’s warm, inviting and chic. Off we go!
