French country design can be described as shabby chic with a French flair. Wooden tables should look well used and well made. If painted, it is white. There is a lot of wrought iron, as well as stone, terra cotta and wood. Rough plaster walls will add to the look. The rest of your attention should be on accessorizing. All you have to do is think French!
*****************************************************************
The secret of shabby chic décor is that it isn’t really a style at all. It basically consists of recycling old furniture, fabrics, and rugs that are worn, and even faded…but not frayed or torn. If you have been hit by this nasty economy, and are living with hand-me-down furniture and linens, you’ve got it made! And if you haven’t been quite that lucky, never fear. Garage sales, thrift shops, and flea markets will have everything you need, at a price you can afford!
******************************************************************
One of the nicest things about country cottage décor is the use of slipcovers. You don’t have to refinish, reupholster, or replace that sofa, easy chair, or ottoman. You simply buy or make slipcovers…using a sturdy, washable fabric. Recover a few of your decorative throw pillows, and the whole room looks brand new.
You don’t have to buy new material, either. Remnants, age-worn drapery fabrics, tablecloths, and even bed linens can be used to make your slipcovers. A piece from an old lace tablecloth or curtains can go right over your old pillows to give them a vintage look.

I do like the manner in which you have framed this specific issue and it really does offer us some fodder for thought. However, from what I have observed, I only trust as other feed-back stack on that individuals keep on point and not embark upon a soap box of the news of the day. Yet, thank you for this excellent point and whilst I do not necessarily agree with this in totality, I value the viewpoint.
