The Summer Table - Blue, White & Yellow

Juliska

 

When setting the table for summer with blue and white chinoiserie, a great color to add is sunny yellow. This pretty combination always reminds me of Provence.

The Chinoiserie Dining Room

Grace Kaynor Interiors - Southern Living

This pretty New Orleans dining room has me perplexed. I love the antique marble mantel, gilded mirror, pagoda pelmet, crystal chandelier, antiques, and the gold Chinese Chippendale chairs. It is painted in Benjamin Moore Beach Glass - a grayed blue green. The color works well in beach houses. I love New Orleans style - lots of high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, antique mantels, aged wood floors, and antiques. 

Handbag Charms

Pineapple Bag Charm

Handbag charms are all the rage right now, available in a myriad of designs and materials. These are darling, handmade by artisans in Rwanda of raffia from locally sourced palm trees.

The Chinoiserie Dress

I love chinoiserie of course but don't go out of my way to dress in Chinoiserie Chic style, but I do have a few pieces in my wardrobe in chinoiserie fabrics.
