| After - French Style Cane-Sided Chairs in Toile (sold) | 
My very favorite style of furniture is French or French country - I love the wonderful shapes and curves.  But I am not alone and that fact makes the pieces more expensive and harder to find.  During the 60's - 80's in this country, many manufacturers created pieces called "French Provincial".  Often, this style was done in a pecan or off-white and most were well constructed.  It is not that difficult to find American-made furniture of this era with some great potential for refurbishing and sometimes at a great price.  In this discussion, I am featuring some pieces of this era with a before and after view.  Fabrics that have a "French flair" help make the transformation - toile and soft prints work particularly well.
