  3. Theresa is right, you are killing us! What a fabulous job with this post. Wow...blows your mind. I have been craving Chinoiserie recently wishing I could introduce a wall paper into my home. It must be because of you!!

    Many thanks...

  6. I just LOVE that red chinoiserie toile! I would love to move and have a dining room or kitchen to use it in.

  8. oh, always red for me -it just didn't work in my current place. My old apartment I used bright red contact paper to line my white kitchen cupboards which was so beautiful and also painted the inside of my closet red as well!

  9. Stefan-Wow. I have been working on a post for Chinoiserie Chic on lacquering the backs of bookcases or insides of cabinets and armoires in coral pink or red.

  10. The red & white toile wallpaper is a fav of mine, I just used it in my Red post.
    And I can't wait for the post about laquering.
    All the images are just scoop them up & devour them. Ironically much like the perconceived notion of the cuisine. An hour later I'm needing, wanting more!!!!
