French Atmospheres

We have just received our shipment of Jeanne d'Arc Living's English edition of French Atmospheres! This book was originally published in Danish and is now available in English. It is beautiful and very thorough. Those of you who love Jeanne d'Arc Living magazine will fall in love with it! It includes tips for painting and creating patinas and other projects. It's a large hardback to add to your collection of design books.

Pages from the French Atmospheres book

Part of what attracted us to Jeanne d'Arc, is the beautiful and elegant simplicity of the style.  We like to combine fancy pieces that show their age, patinas, and yet look great with other seemingly mundane objects like kitchenware and found natural objects. We also have a love for the sacred art for its aesthetic value.

The grays, tans, and muted colors have always been part of our palette.

French Atmospheres is sort of a compilation of the best of Jeanne D'Arc and it's inclusive of the different rooms of the house and different elements of design, along with practical ideas for achieving that "look."  We trust that you will relish this book and treasure it as part of your collection. Call us or send us an e-mail here to reserve your copy.
