      Vive la Difference!

      The timeless style of Country French has always been my first love. It can be elegant, warm, easy or formal. Its many moods give me the freedom to express my own design philosophy.

      I compare this style to the relationship between a simple French farmhouse and an elegant château. Both share the sun-dappled colors of Provence’s countryside, and their very different traditions create a wonderful mix. From rustic woods to gilded bergère chairs, Fortuny silks to linen checks, the many aspects of Country French combine to create a welcoming atmosphere that can be dressed up or down to suit individual preference.

      My rule book for creating with Country French is to forget the rules. Floral fabrics do belong with plaids . . . and stripes. Painted woods—my favorite, faux finishes, and mellow old pines—all have their place. Contemporary pieces can work, too, adding a modern edge to a design.

      While throwing out the rule book, there is one rule I always keep. I always use accessories. They are the most important part of my decorating. As I’ve moved from house to house over the years, I’ve changed fabrics and furnishings many times, but my accessories—and especially my collections—stay with me.

      I’ve been collecting accessories all my life, and they aren’t necessarily French. I started when I was in college, buying English Staffordshire as gifts for my sister, Francie. One of my own collections, Napoleonic memorabilia, is very French, but it mixes nicely with my cherished Chinese export plates and my dog figures. It may come as a surprise, then, that I believe the ultimate accessories are fresh flowers, which can’t be collected or saved at all.

      My grandmother showed me the importance of accessorizing with flowers. As a child, I helped her with her cutting garden—rows and rows of different varieties of flowers that she
