Description

Christmas decorating maven Courtney Allison shows how to create a cosy and aspirational French country Christmas style wherever you are.

Plus a little bit of Christmas magic from a Paris apartment with a balcony overlooking the Eiffel Tower, a snowy mountain cabin, and a vintage travel trailer at the lake.

Critic Reviews

Readers will make lists and check them twice to have a home as beautiful as that of Allison (French Country Cottage Inspired Gatherings), a stylist, photographer, and blogger. In picture-filled chapters, she spotlights family heirlooms, contemporary pieces, and other objects that lend the perfect French country touch. A highlight is the chapter about Christmas trees, with tips for nearly any style--vintage, modern, casual, elegant, or colorful--with different themes and sizes. Allison also shares photos and instructions for layering a Christmas tree with decorations, such as ribbons, simple overhand knot bows, and a touch of glamour. For Christmas-season hosts, a section addresses table settings, with various color schemes and levels of dining formality. Since the Christmas season can be overwhelming, there's also a yearlong checklist with advice to remember to shop after Christmas and at yard sales. The book includes crafting ideas for wreaths, garlands, and one-of-a-kind gift-wrap. The book concludes with a list of resources for items that are easily accessible. VERDICT Purchase where Allison's works are popular and where Christmas titles circulate well.--Sarah Sieg "Library Journal" (10/1/2023 12:00:00 AM)
