For the lover of Chinoiserie, a beautiful bouquet of orchids or a potted orchid would make a lovely Valentine's Day gift. Orchids are graceful, elegant, sophisticated, and long-lasting. A perfect symbol of your love. Above, a stunning use of orchids by Celerie Kemble and make sure you notice my favorite loop chairs.

Fabulously French-note the wonderful use of a champagne bucket as a cachepot.
A lovely bouquet of orchids.
Beth, I just want to take a moment to thank you for all the hard work you do to bring these lovely blog posts to us each day. As I have my first cup of coffee in my office and prepare for my day, I am continually delighted and inspired by all that you share with us. I very much appreciate the effort that it takes to bring each one of these to fruition. Again, my heartfelt thanks! God bless!
ReplyDeleteOh I so love orchids as well! I really like the Micheal Smith vignette and both the champagne bucket and red bouquet are so charming, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteBest,
Jaime
I, too, love orchids but I am terrible at growing them. I've got a pot with one that lost its flower, has tons of stems and never flowers. Sigh.... I think I have a black thumb!
ReplyDeleteI love the Celerie Kemble room....the chandelier is beautiful. Wonder who made it?

Orchids rank high on my list of beautiful flowers in a home! I have several now and they make me smile daily.
ReplyDeleteBeth when I lived in San Diego I always had pots of orchids everywhere in my hoe, I seem to have misplaced my green thumb lately!!

ReplyDeleteOrchids are one of my favorite flowers! They are so delicate and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOrchids are my favorite -- not only do they not bother my allergies, but they last for weeks.
ReplyDeleteThose blue and white tiles behind the yellow orchid are pretty fabulous too! Portuguese perhaps? Orchids do add classic beauty..great post!
ReplyDeleteI love orchids. Guys never think of them though. Why is that?
ReplyDeleteOrchids are also a favourite of mine but suspect that I maybe getting roses from the St Valentin fairy :-)
