French Country

Country Style : Episode COS-302 -- More Projects »
French country design brings a real warmth into a home through the use of natural materials, like baskets, wood and florals and the soothing colors of nature, like blue from the sky, green from the trees, gold from the wheat and red from the flowers. Christy Crafton shares some easy tips for creating the essence of a Provencal dining room.

Paint a hutch a light green and rough up the edges and rub on a brown antiquing glaze for a rustic look. Decoupage fabric onto the drawer fronts for more color.

This minimal window treatment hangs from tabs fitted on a wrought-iron rod, another element of French country design.

The table and chair are brand new--Crafton simply white-washed each piece and stenciled a design on the tabletop to marry the elements in the room together.
