Read an Excerpt

I have had the privilege of photographing five of Charles Faudree’s Country
French design books; it is with love and honor that I present his sixth book, Charles
Faudree Country French Legacy.


I met Charles in l987 when I was hired to photograph his home for a Christmas issue for Traditional Home magazine with Nancy Ingram, regional field editor. I remember it vividly. It was a hot, humid October day in Oklahoma when I walked into the most beautiful, opulent Christmas setting I had ever seen. It was a memorable surprise, stunning! There were bows, ornaments, wreaths, decorated trees and flowers making it a Christmas wonderland like only Charles could do—with style.


Fast forward to 2002 and many fun photography shoots of his work with Charles and Nancy for national interior design magazines and books. The three of us thought we should do our own design book together. I crudely prepared a book prototype; I literally cut and pasted images and faux text onto pages into a small book. The one prototype acquired some tattered pages and a few rejections before we found Gibbs Smith publisher. We completed what we set out to do, our first design book, Charles Faudree’s French Country Signature. The book was well received and Charles created quite the following across the country. Over the next few years we added four more volumes to our library, including Charles Faudree’s Country French Living, Charles Faudree Interiors, Charles Faudree Details and Charles Faudree Home.
