BETTY LOU PHILLIPS ~ THE ALLURE OF FRENCH AND ITALIAN DECOR AND THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN PARIS

I would like for my friends on the east coast to know that all of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers. I think I can speak for most of us outside of harms way when I say that we feel helpless here.

The Allure of French and Italian Decor

By Betty Lou Phillips

Gibbs Smith, $50.00

Reviewed by Teresa Hatfield

Author, Splendid Sass

Since I received this book, I have been poring over each page, enjoying ever single image. These scanned pages are just a few of the beautiful rooms along with tablescape, cuisine, and nature images. I wish these scanned images could come close to the size and beauty of those present in this book. I also have to mention the beautiful cover, which is a soft platinum color with a lovely gold script.

I have always loved the work of Betty Lou Phillips, and again she has exhibited her talent in not only design, but her extensive knowledge of hospitality. ENJOY!

And look at this adorable Christmas book by Betty Lou. The whimsical artistic work is so beautiful, and is perfect with the perfect story! Below are only a couple of the pages. ENJOY!

KITCHEN LOVE

First, I want to let all of those affected by Sandy that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am praying for patience, warmth, and necessities for all of those in need.

For me, a great kitchen is the epitome of luxury and necessity. Kitchen designer Mick De Giulio created this kitchen for a Birmingham, Michigan family. ENJOY!
