Photo Gallery: Classic French Style

Period-perfect hardwood flooring, deep mouldings, traditional leaded windows and a grand, three-storey scale appear original to this house. But they are actually the stunning result of an extreme makeover to an architecturally uninteresting, Georgian-style home purchased for its location by Montreal designer and De Poitiers owner Julie Charbonneau. The white and light grey backdrop perfectly highlight Julie's expert mix of French antiques with deep, comfortable timeless upholstered furniture.
See how Julie hosted an elegant cocktail party for the holidays in our December 2009 issue, all about entertaining.

Hello Kerry,
This is Julie Charbonneau's home in Montreal. You can contact her directly at her home furnishings boutique De Poitiers to ask her about the drapery in the dining room. They're most likely custom made, but she may be able to provide you with the fabric retailer.
I hope that helps!
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
