This program is the second part of the Great Homes and Gardens Series.

Inspired by Marjorie Post’s passion for the decorative arts and gardens of 18th-century France, designer Timothy Corrigan will break down the elements of French style and will illustrate how they can be incorporated into any home, regardless of its structure, size or location.

Having owned and renovated four French national landmark châteaux, and decorated a number of private mansions, and pied à terres in Paris, Corrigan is well versed in French design. Come see how adding varying degrees of these elements can lend chic sophistication to any setting and how French design can be made warm and inviting.
