Faudree's books are always a feast for the eyes. You can see his animals are part of his family and right at home, too. I look forward to many more books. Thank you, Mr Faudree, for sharing your artist's eye with us.
I loved Charles Faudree last interior design book and think he is one my best loved designers,this is the 3rd book I've bought. Having said that though a little disappointed in this one. Too many plates on the walls. not his best work.
I have all of his books, and am a big fan.but something is "off" about this one. Most of the interiors seem contrived, stuffy, and a little outdated. The warmth and charm of the usual "Faudree mix" has been, for the most part, replaced with rooms that have all the banal originality and personality of a hotel lobby or furniture showroom. Skip this one.
This is a great book, lots of photos and great ideas. I have all of Charles Faudrees design books, I am never disappointed. I loved seeing his home featured on " Home Acress America".
And, as always, his beloved dog is in many of the room photos - not because he was placed there but because he loves to be in the thick of things. I found this book to be exactly on par with Charles Faudree's earlier books - his use of saturated color, grand rooms with a charming and cozy feel, lucious fabrics, accessories of beauty and occasional whimsy - all his signature work is there. Gorgeous photography as always and I love the shots of rooms from above and the format of 'sketches' of rooms preceding the actual photos. If you have enjoyed Charle's previous books, you will love this one too. I find myself picking it up again and again.
