This is my Chinese Chippendale Chair I found for $55.00, painted in Farrow & Ball Skylight, and covered in a lovely Cowtan & Tout fabric I already had in my stash. If you are lucky enough to find a Chinoiserie chair of your own, don't be afraid to paint it any color at all. Everything works on these beauties.
