Chateau Rouge by French General

We all agree that Chateau Rouge by French General is stunning! We have the entire line (40 fabrics!) in stock, plus layer cakes.


The designer captured the sentiment perfectly - 
The Chateau Rouge collection was inspired by an old brick chateau we stayed in one summer in a small town, just north of Aix-en-Provence, called St. Remy. The chateau was built in 1789 and throughout the house were armoires that were brimming with old French textiles. I spent days looking through each of the armoires and sketching ideas and color combinations. Outside each window was a field of sunflowers - their brightness seemed to light up the house. The subtle mustard yellows mixed with the old reds - reminds me of the colors at the chateau and my summer in France.
