Synopsis

Arguably America's most beloved designer of Country French interiors, Charles Faudree has been working his magic on homes domestically and internationally for more than thirty-five years. His fourth book, Charles Faudree Interiors, continues to reveal his versatility in classic and international styles, and showcases his newest signature country French interior-his own new cabin nestled in the Oklahoma countryside-along with a tropical island retreat, a chic metropolitan high-rise, and homes done up in Georgian, contemporary and ranch high style.

Here, in his personal, engaging manner, Faudree walks us through the challenges and successes of his newest designs that prove French Country can keep its traditional spirit and still be modern, surprising and edgy.

Charles Faudree was named one of America's top 100 designers in 2002. He is often featured in design magazines, including Traditional Home, Southern Living and House Beautiful. His previous books, Charles Faudree's French Country Signature, Charles Faudree's Country French Living, and Florals and Interiors have been widely lauded. While designing homes and creating books, Charles maintains a retail shop in Tulsa, and has launched a fabric line, The Charles Faudree Collection, for Vervain. He lives in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Jenifer Jordan is a Texas-based photographer whose work has been featured in Traditional Home, Renovation Style, House Beautiful, Southern Accents and Veranda, as well as in two of Faudree's previous books, Charles Faudree's French Country Signature and Charles Faudree's Country French Living.

Lighter and brighter in Tulsa

The home of Gayle and Frank Eby was originally built by John Duncan Forsyth, a well-known architect of the 1920s who left his mark on many Tulsa homes and even Southern Hills Country Club. Mr. Forsyth created a wonderful family home, and the Ebys have worked to make it even more gracious and inviting.
