I have all of Charles Faudree's books. I often look through them for design direction or inspiration; but I also just enjoy looking at the most beautiful rooms. He was a true master of color, pattern, and coziness. I think of him whenever the term Country French comes up. I'll always keep his books in my design library. Thank you for highlighting his genius!
I do believe Charles Faudree was a Master of Design. His technique was genius and I miss his yearly Christmas features in all the magazines. You're right about his books; they are all valuable resources.
I said this twice in the video and don't use the expression often, but he was a true master of his trade. One can feel the love he puts into the rooms he designs.
Just beautiful and with your lovely voice so easy to enjoy. Definitely watch several more than once and always look forward to your next presentation. Thank you Mary!
Charles Fadree was an absolute Master at laying pattern, texture and color! His designs were timeless... He was a kind, silly and fun loving man...And talented beyond the moon!!!
Thank you for your stunning video . Charles is my absolute favorite designer. I have every single one of his books and devour them over and over again. French blood runs through my veins and I am drawn to Charles’s collection of gorgeous art , color palettes , furnishings and the “smalls”. Thank you again for this beautiful video. Charles Faudree was one of a kind. The very best kind ❤
He was my absolute favorite. Once you mentioned where you found some of your books, I’ve added to my Faudree collection. His eye was beyond keen. An amazing talent and person. Thank you for featuring him. I adore your channel. ❤
I appreciate your comment, thank you. His designs are timeless. Warmth and love are what I feel when viewing his rooms and that never goes out of style. Thanks again for watching!
Hi Mary and Happy New Year! I fell in love with Charles Faudree and Country French decor when Mr. Faudree was featured in a Traditional Home Magazine article over 40 years ago!!! I love his use of fabric, color and design! Thank you for featuring one of his many beautiful books. Looking forward to the beautiful garden tour....I can't even imagine 1,600 acres! Have a beautiful day! Hugs! :)
My favorite designer. I also have all of his books. He had a way of filling a room to the brim with beautiful objects from different time periods that always harmonized and flowed seamlessly.
When I was in design school (1988-1991) Charles Faudree, Mario Buatta and Renzo Mongiardino were my favorite decorators. Somehow, Faudree managed to imprint on my soul! He was a kind and gifted man.
The scenes of interior beauty you show are exquisite and magnificent. I realize that there are new decorating trends but not a single one of them compare with the antiquie and mid century decors you showcase. They never go out of style.
Kudos to you and your channel! I love watching videos that have anything to do with interior design but I was getting tired of the same white furniture, farmhouse, Rae Dunn collector decor channels. Not there's anything thing wrong with that. Love Rae Dunn. But I would say my style is "Traditional whimsy" so your channel is a breath of fresh air. I just found you a couple of weeks ago and I am soaking up every video you post. I was raised in a home where my parents were practical and they just had things that were necessary, so I couldn't wait to have my own home to decorate. I love the line in this video that talks about learning through exposure. That describes my adventures in decorating. I was tickled pink after I moved into my own home and had guests over, and after giving them a tour of my home, one of them said, "Nancy! You're snooty!!" translation, "you have a fine home". That put a big smile on my face and let me know I was doing something right. Thank you for your videos and giving girls like me exposure to the finer things in life. They are all so well done. I am making up for lost time watching your videos and making a list of books that you've shown to add to my library. I can't wait to watch all of your videos and look forward to what comes next!
I love this! Thank you for sharing and I'm so glad you enjoy the channel. I had to laugh at the "You're snooty" comment and your translation. Good for you! It's a generous and personal thing to want to share your home with others. I hope you keep watching and are always open to the adventures of decorating. 💗Happy New Year!
Not sure what snooty is but I think it's a cross between stuck up and elevated my 8nterpretations 9f course Charles Faudree is a wonderful interior designer and country French is devoted to lifting our limited knowledge on furniture and arts
Charles is my favorite!! I’m a Francophile so his style hit home with me. I collect Napoleon Bee Limoge boxes and have quite a large collection. When he passed away it hit hard, I’ve missed him. His philosophy was more is more as is mine, you can never get enough.
I would love to know how you display the collection. Are they all in one area or disbursed throughout several places? I'm sure they are beautiful. I miss Charles Faudree also. He always inspired me and no matter what my budget was I could always work his ideas into a design. He really had an eye for beauty.
I remember always being excited for his Christmas designs and displays to be highlighted in all the magazines. He was a staple for "Traditional Home". I miss him also.
He is our favorite interior designer. We bought all his books and thank you for highlighting them today. We wish you and your family A Happy and Healthy New Year!
Charles Faudree's designs imprinted on my soul as a young designer, and I will always love his work. Thank you for watching and I wish you a happy and healthy New Year as well! 🎉
I always watch reviews 2 or 3 times, and I turn sound low since the speed change distorts sound. I focus on what you show, and then I listen to you again. I learn so much from watching your reviews. I love any designer who uses chinoiserie. William W. Stubbs uses dark interiors to juxtapose chinoiserie. Faudree does French well and incorporates chinoiserie. Now Mackenzie-Childs has a book you might like to review. They have Royal Court and chinoiserie. I used to have a set of 20 Churchill Blue Willow. I inherited a lot of China, so I gave away my Blue Willow. I have chinoiserie my family gave me for surfaces that I kept. ❤
Mackenzie Childs prices are way tooooo expensive…..just keep doing what you are doing…please….I do love your sweet voice….thank you again….you are one class act…hugs from carolyn in Columbus GA
@@carolynratliff1380 a lot of people are inspired by Mackenzie Childs and will take napkins or duct tape and embellish. Someone who can paint will save thousands. All designers inspire. Many creative people can surround themselves with the look. My favorite is Bold and Graceful on TH-cam. There are many people who use checkerboard in design. I can name 6 without trying.
Charles Faudree is my most favorite designer of all time!! I have all his books and I am inspired by him over and over again. I love how he made rooms not only beautiful but comfortable and livable as well. I am fortunate to have a few little trinkets from his estate sale that I so treasure. For me there is no one like him. What a special man ❤
I am very grateful that you review older books, not just the newest ones with their new retail prices and latest trendy fashions. I have some of Charles Faudree's books. I often spend parts of the winter, during cold times when I can't do much outside, going through my favorite design books and gardening books. Now, I think I'll start with Charles Faudree this year. Thank you for the inspiration and I'm looking forward to walking through Brookgreen gardens with you. Thank you! And wishing you a Happy New Year!
Thank you! A Charles Faudree collection is perfect for getting one through the cold months of winter. He had a gift for warming up any environment. I wish you a Happy New Year to you as well!
Absolutely love, love your channel!! ❤ I look forward to your new videos you post and find myself playing all your other videos almost every day! Thank you.
Another lovely book! Beautiful rooms! Looks like I need to buy this one too! Thank you I appreciate seeing these books! I just love seeing these books they bring me so much joy. Wow!What beautiful gardens!
I was blown away by the gardens. I am glad you enjoyed this review. Charles Faudree is one of my all-time favorites. The warmth and inspiration provided by his designs are beyond reproach. (In my humble opinion)
Charles Faudree, A Mastet indeed! 🙌🏽🥰 I absolutely love the rich, heartwarming, lush & luxurious designs in textures and colors! Happy New Year to you and family Thank you so much for sharing this super-informative video that’s helping to re-birth my love and appreciation for traditional & rich luxurious designs embezzled in deep gratifying jewel tones! 🙏🏽 🥰 Most Stately & Royal! 👑 I absolutely love your videos! My heart was completely satisfied! ❤🥰❤️
it does kind of border american colonial at some spots. modernized home of course. Wow what a view of the tree in that garden. looks pretty until get close.
He’s one of my favorite designers. Love Country French design. Wish we saw more of it in today’s home.

Me too.
@@thetartantopiary one day perhaps you could do another book that Faudree wrote? (Sp) And I never saw his Christmas articles you mentioned.
These are my dream interiors. No cold minimalist and white everywhere for me

...beyond the moon is correct. The warmth his rooms exude is magical. He must have been an extraordinary human (personally and professionally).

My god what a feast for the eyes. Such a great talent. A big hello to the tartan topiary from n.ireland. Keep up the great work you're doing.
Well, hello to you in Ireland. My family is planning a trip there this year. I can't wait. Thanks for watching and saying "hello"!
Oh how I miss him! 😪

I'm jealous. I bet the estate sale was like a dream. Faudree was a genius and I miss his features, especially at Christmas, in the design magazines.
