Summary
"The furnishings of France enchant the eye, Italian pieces sing to the soul." -Betty Lou Phillips, ASID France and Italy have long been the go-to spots for fashionistas, serious foodies and design mavens. Rich patinas, satisfying earthen hues and myriad natural materials-translate into timeless, unabashedly elegant yet livable rooms appropriate for our times. Award-winning designer Betty Lou Phillips shows how the best from two European countries combine to create la dolce vita-the good life-in ways that are unexpected and fresh, timeless, and unabashedly elegant yet livable.
Excerpts
For centuries, as we all know, France and Italy have fueled the creativity of aspiring artists, musicians, writers and intellectuals, initially from across Europe then in waves from across the seas. These countries have long been the go-to spots for fashionistas, serious foodies and design mavens as well. Economic uncertainty notwithstanding, the Republic of France still sets the standard for show-stopping couture, sumptuous dining and inimitable visual arts. Indeed, to this day, the land that produces the world's choicest Champagne, cheese and chocolat-not to mention haute fashion by Chanel,Hermès, Louis Vuitton and Lanvin-shows no sign of loosening her très chic grip on the planet's tastemakers.
