Furniture Style Series - French Country Settees

French Country Settee in Toile (SOLD)

French Country Settee in Bold Blue Checks (SOLD)

When I started this series about settees and love seats, I didn't think I had so many styles to talk about and illustrate.  But, the variation is enormous and I can't resist any of them - despite the storage and shipping challenges they present.  In this (my 4th) installment, I am simply going to highlight the French Country style - one which is hard to get at REALLY good prices - they are just that wonderful.  The pieces show a lot of wood which can be painted or left as is.  I do not paint the woodwork unless it has already been painted and needs refreshing or the finish is a problem that cannot be corrected by cleaning (remember, I recommend Goof Off goof off and staining pencils you can buy at Ace or Home Depot).  I like simple fabrics - checks and toiles are particularly good on these stylish pieces.
