“I love French country,
not dressy French,1”
Joni says. To get her
look, try this:
■ Slipcovered
furniture
whether
white or another
color, slipcovers
instantly make your
furniture “match.”
■ Dark wood tones
A dark tone contrasts
against slipcovers.
■ Global textiles
Ethnic fabrics and
throws bring a well-
traveled feel.
■ A Bit of sparkle
Mercury glass or
burnished metallics add
dimension to the
natural foundation set
by white linen and
wooden furniture.
