Design Masters : Betty Lou Phillips

My growing collection of inspiring design books lacks Betty Lou’s series of incredible French style interiors. What I love most about her design is the hotel-ish feeling experienced throughout the homes. I believe in implementing hotel like traits throughout a home, to make it as inviting and relaxing as possible.

The cover of Betty Lou’s latest book French Impressions is a photo of the lounge in her two story dressing room. A dream come true to be sure.

When entertaining guests, as done in hotels, newspaper bags are hung on the door handles of all rooms. That guest bath is to die for,with mosaic inset mats for a Monsieur and Madame.

The absolutely gorgeous kitchen with a La Cornue range and matching hood. Best feature in the kitchen is the sink backsplash and beautiful marble walls.

The designers super cute puppy dressed in Ralph Lauren, with his monogrammed bed linen. One of my favorite parts of the house, the laundry room. Each room has it’s own designated basket with a pressing table. I love how every detail is emphasized in the house, even the laundry room has a chandelier and a ceiling with paint effect.
