Creating a French Country Look with Rustic Farmhouse Furniture
|
The French country look can be rustic or refined. Most residences can take on charming French furnishings and accents. Common to today's residential construction are tall ceilings that create large walls and open, expansive rooms. Modern day architecture often swallows wall décor and furniture that is too small. Large furniture, oversized wall decor and large decorative accessories, common to French country decor, are ideal for large expansive rooms.
Hand Painted Furniture at Accents of Salado
One piece of handpainted furniture can make a bold French country design statement. When paint is applied by a master artisan, paint adds more than color. It alters the very nature of the piece, often evoking another time and another place.
Professional and experienced craftsmen acquire the look of French country antiques in hours, not years.

|
|
|
|
Adding to the appeal of the French country handpainted furniture offered by Accents of Salado is the manufacturer's commitment to producing furniture that is environmentally friendly. Each piece is constructed of 200-300 year-old recycled woods. Another plus is that each piece is hand painted inside and out including the inside of drawers and storage areas.
Artistic designs include bountiful fruit, elaborate medallions, classic scroll and dramatic floral designs as seen in the French country handpainted sideboard picture below.
