Design Find: Betty Lou Phillips`s French inspired bathroom

It all started with napkin rings.........Designer Betty Lou Phillips was in Paris, in a random shop on the Left Bank, and saw a pair of silver napkin rings engraved 'Madame' and 'Monsieur.'........loved the shapely lettering and the nod to French decorum, so she bought them and told herself she`d do something creative with them one day........and 15 years later she did.......they were the template and inspiration  for the inlaid tile 'rugs' in her guest bathroom.

French Find: A charming cottage......
