rench Country: Framed cabinets in either raised or recessed panels reveal a room with French country charm. Cabinets are glazed, chalked, distressed or sanded through for an authentic finish, though painted cabinetry is also a time-honored alternative. Decorative shelving, the use of beadboard, a butler's wall or pantry and plate racks will enhance the genuine French Country appeal.
