A 41-page French-Provincial playbook for renters. Four rooms, Benjamin Moore and Sherwin-Williams paint codes, a 20-item shopping index with price bands, and eight weekend projects.
French Provincial is the formal one: symmetry, carved white-painted wood, silk and damask, gilded mirrors. Ivory and powder blush with antique gold. Where French country relaxes, this holds its posture.
This book prices the look for a rental. Paint colours are named for two brands. Products are named by retailer so you know what to search for. Every project in it uses a removable or reversible method.
What is in the 41 pages
Seven opening pages set the style up: era and origin, materials, references, the colour palette, and master finishes. Sixteen pages cover four rooms. The remaining 18 are a renter playbook: rules, proportions, room commitments, a style diagnostic, maker provenance, eight projects, a thrift guide, substitutions, and a two-page shopping index.
The four rooms
Living Room, Bedroom, Kitchen / Dining and Bathroom. Each room gets four pages: the room itself, an education spread, a mixed moodboard, and a shop-the-look page.
Paint and materials
Five paint colours, each with a Benjamin Moore name and code and a Sherwin-Williams name and code. Ivory Blanc is BM White Dove OC-17 or SW Alabaster SW 7008. Six signature materials: carved white-painted wood, silk and damask, gilded brass and gold leaf, marble (renter: contact paper), toile de jouy and herringbone oak (vinyl for renters).
The shopping index
Twenty items grouped by room, each with a price band and the page it appears on.
Weekend projects
Eight builds with a materials list and a running cost, from $6 to $129. Gold leaf mirror frame update, plug-in chandelier swap, herringbone contact paper surface accent and decoupage toile tray, and 4 more.
Renter rules and substitutions
Two pages of renter rules, then eight substitution pages: the designer piece, the cheaper piece, and why the trade holds up. Antique rewired crystal chandelier, 1stDibs - $650-950 against Plug-in brass chandelier, Amazon - $60-100.
What format is the file
PDF, 41 pages. It opens on a phone, a laptop, or a printer. No app and no login.
Are the products shown clickable
No. Retailers and product names are printed so you know what to search for. Nothing routes out to a store.
Are the prices real
They are researched estimate bands, not live quotes. Check the current figure before you buy.
Will any of this work in a rental
Two pages of renter rules cover what to avoid, and every one of the eight projects uses a removable or reversible method.
How do I know French-Provincial is the right style
A four-panel diagnostic sets french-provincial beside the things it gets mistaken for: French Country, Hollywood Glam, Traditional American and Chinoiserie, with the tell for each.
