$59.00

Ever wanted to restore an old property and wondered what it takes? Join Karen Miles, Owner of French Consul, together with her family and heritage builder, Peter, as they restore a convict-era cottage in countryside Tasmania. Set in Australia’s largest sandstone village, Karen takes readers on a heartfelt journey from how she found the property, the setbacks and exciting historic finds, to extending the cottage and ending up on the TV show Grand Designs Australia. You’ll love the room-by-room product guides, design advice and trade contacts, and the bonus inclusion of Karen’s Stylist’s Travel Guide which lists her favourite Tassie haunts and places to shop. Fans of Karen’s grain sack linens will also be delighted to finally experience a printed coffee table book of some of her most loved French Consul photoshoots. Petit Chateau is a visually beautiful and uplifting story – proving big dreams come in petit packages.

    A lovely souvenir for those fortunate enough to have visited historic Oatlands with all its Georgian charms. The Petit Chateau illustrates a very sensitive restoration of one of its beautiful buildings. The book also illustrates the author’s gorgeous French linen @frenchconsul which I love.
