Bringing Paris Home invites the reader to re-create the panache of French interior style in an American setting. Author Penny Drue Baird shares her love and knowledge of French history and decorative arts and describes the design elements essential to an elegant French interior—architectural details, furniture, paint and wall covering, fireplaces, lighting, and tabletop settings. A special chapter on shopping offers tips on finding treasures in the famed Marche aux Puces in Paris.

Lavishly illustrated with Parisian scenes and completed interiors by Baird, Bringing Paris Home is an essential resource for capturing the atmosphere of Paris.

Just by looking at the pictures, you are with Penny in Paris, seating outside with a "cafe" and a "croissant"
It is a wonderful book.
Thank you Penny, for taking the time and the research about our Paris.

If you can't get to Paris, this book will satisfy a little of that urge. Beautiful photographs of lush homes furnished and accessorized as only Parisions do. Especially intriguing is the window fabric on the cover and in the inside pages. Exactly what is it, and how was it made? So very ooh-la-la!
 Beautiful photos but little information April 8, 2009

This is a great coffee table book and the photos are interesting. However, it is filled mostly with American houses that have tried to look European rather than the real thing, and there is absolutely nothing to teach the reader about what distinguishes one period from another. I'm glad I bought it, but it missed an opportunity to be much more valuable.

After over a month of waiting the book never arrived. The shipper even said that they sent a second copy. It too was never received. I finally got a credit to my account but I really wanted the book.
