Chinoiserie Wastebaskets


I received an email from a reader inquiring about Chinoiserie wastebaskets. These pictured here, available at one of my favorite online stores The Well Appointed House are by far my favorites. I personally love a powder room with gorgeous Chinoiserie wallpaper, but I realize that some people, and especially men, can be wallpaper averse. A great alternative is to pick out one of these wonderful wastebaskets with or without matching tissue box cover. Color match a color from it you love and paint your powder room in high gloss paint. Get some beautiful Chinoiserie guest towels, which I will cover in an upcoming post, and you are done!

  2. Stefan-The top seven pictures are all decoupaged. I get many comments from readers whose husbands hate wallpaper, so this is a great look. I love wallpaper, especially in a powder room or dining room.
