Charles Faudree leaves behind an Interior Design legacy!



The Interior Design world has lost one of its biggest talents.

Charles Faudree  renowned Tulsa, Oklahoma Interior Designer 
passed away the night before Thanksgiving. 
Charles was 75 and had been battling cancer.

He was a noted expert in French Country Design and had
an impressive list of clients in the United States 
and Europe.

He was also know in Tulsa as a philanthropist.
Local artist Patrick (Pat) Gordon, who knew Charles for nearly 40 years said,
"There really wasn't a much better human as Charles." 
and "That's not easy to say in this time and day. 

Charles was named  Traditional Home's Designer of the Year in 1995. He was also one of
 House Beautiful magazine's America's top 100 interior designers for three consecutive years, 2002-04.



Charles was the author of five books on Interior Design.


"Charles Faudree's Country French Signature," was his first book published in 2003
It is now in its ninth printing with more than 60,000 copies sold.



 His latest book

A love for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels spanned over 25 years. His 
passion for dogs led him to  create an impressive collection of
dog paintings and sculptures.

He created a fabric line for Vervain in 2008 and used his
beloved dogs in their ad. 

You can read about the first time I met Charles and his friend , 
Louis Jordan

The last time I saw Charles was at in June at Design ADAC. He was
a guest speaker and graciously signed his most recent book for me. 

I want to share just a few of the wonderful rooms he 
created with you. I have never seen one of his designs
that I didn't love!





























RIP in Charles Faudree. Your charm and talent will be missed!

  6. Debbie - This blog post may be quite old, but I just stumbled upon it and thoroughly enjoyed. I'm chuckling to myself because the first time that I was published in Traditional Home Magazine was b/c of a project that I'd done for a favorite client named Debbie Jacobs, who like me was also a HUGE fan of Charles Faudree. We used much of his product for Stroheim in the room and they decided to publish it as a tribute to his passing. He is still a constant source of inspiration and I was delighted that my first coffee table/interior design book "Enduring Southern Homes" was published by Gibbs Smith who published all of Charles work. Always nice to run across a fellow fan of traditional and I just had to comment! Best to you!

  11. Немногие компании-производители красок для волос могли бы похвалиться тем, что их товар попал в число фаворитов, предпочитаемых членами королевских семейств. Фирма-производитель Lebel Cosmetics уже больше 30 лет поставляет собственную продукцию в японский императорский дом. Логично, что, заслужив титул косметики №1 в Японии, средства для фитоламинирования волос Lebel Luquias без труда захватила европейский рынок и уже покорила сердца многочисленных представительниц прекрасного пола стран Северной Америки.
