Typical Phoebe Howard: elegant, comfortable and sweet. The French doors look like they open out onto a welcoming terrace or back lawn.
Wouldn't it be nice to have high ceilings like these? Mario Buatta was lucky enough to design this space; a 98 room Beaux Arts masterpiece in California.
Living Etc. Usually I shy away from purple, because it can be too "pretty," but these French doors are so gently framed by the periwinkle drapery that I can't help but adore this room.
Gil Schafer. This narrow porch is expanded with french doors into the adjoining room. I love the light blue paint on the floor and the walls.
I think I like french doors so much because they let a lot of light into a room. I love the way the room looks with all that light streaming in and if there's a gorgeous view that doesn't hurt either. I hope you enjoyed seeing a snippet of my weekend without having to do all the semi tedious drafting and leaning over a drafting table. More to come!

My apartment is not big but I do have lovely french doors in my LR/DR that lead to a teeny tiny balcony and I love them, they make a huge difference in the light in the room (which faces north).
Are french doors the new sliding glass doors? I notice that in our new house, the parents went for french doors instead of sliding glass ones like we used to have - I think our old house was built in the 60s. Any thoughts on that evolution?
Amazing photos :) I absolutely love the 3rd one &, although not my usual taste, the 2nd room is stunning.
