Charlotte Moss |
I was looking for a Charlotte Moss photo last evening in my files and happened upon this that she sent years back as an invitation to an event. I love the coffee table topped with chinoiserie wallpaper under glass and the selection of books.
I would love a copy of Shocking Life but it is very $$$ in good condition.
Speaking of pink, I received these darling Amanda Lindroth cocktail napkins embroidered with her pink Fiat Jolly.
This is my dream car for Florida in pink with wicker seats but they are quite rare and incredibly expensive. A nice one at auction can be $150,000.
I love fluted blue and white Chinese porcelain and it is difficult to find - I found this pair at HG/Venice yesterday.
Above is the Charlotte Moss photo I was searching for with a fluted ginger jar. Such a pretty room.
Bought that same fluted jar at a HG, but in a moss green. Plays nicely in our bedroom with the other blues and greens. There was only one. Lucky you to find multiples!
ReplyDeleteI had seen them in the green, but then they turned up in blue. Both are lovely.
DeleteI've never seen a fluted ginger jar before, they are stunning. I love the reflections in the cube. I can't believe you are able to find such beautiful things at HG so easily!
ReplyDeleteIt's great therapy during these crazy times and I always find something. So much fun.
DeleteI love that hand painted Chinese wallpaper. It always catches my eye! You feature the so many beautiful photographs, it's always a treat to see what you post each morning. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for following.
DeleteDelft did some gorgeous blue and white pieces in the late 19th and early 20th century. Not sure if Delft is still doing them or not. But pieces turn up at auction houses or estate sales occasionally. They are worth seeking out.
ReplyDeleteI have several pieces that mix beautifully, most from my old auction house in Alexandria.
DeleteThose fluted ginger jars are to die for--lovely. You are THE luckiest HG shopper ever!
ReplyDeleteI bought the rattan bar cart you posted from BB&B in black and natural and I set it up yesterday as a coffee bar in my home office. I just love it! Thanks for the recommendation. Patiently waiting for my fringed placemats to arrive from Indonesia purchased from Etsy after you posted tham.
I second Amy's love of hand-painted Chinese wallpaper! I love to see it in your posts.
I'm glad you like the bar cart. I think it's amazing for the price. My HG is addictive.
DeleteI spot this chinoiserie panel on the wall in the Charlotte Moss picture above .
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to your two silver gray panels you mentioned in an older post ?
Can you give it a trie and see how they look behind your blue velvet couch ?
Or you have an other plan for them in store ?
They are going in the dining room.
DeleteBeth, buy a golf cart, take it to an auto detailer, or someone who customizes cars, have it painted pink, put a fringed top on it, and have wicker seats installed.
ReplyDeleteYes, I actually was playing around with that idea. I might do that.
DeleteHave you seen on IG the pics of Danielle Rollins and her beau toodling around Palm Beach in the Fiat Jolly? You definitely need something comparable!
DeleteThere are only 100 of them left in the world unfortunately. I have some ideas on an alternative.
DeleteI too enjoy your posts each morning. Your HG is incredible, ours has not "come back" yet after the closing. In fact it has been terribly disappointing. It is as if they have not received a new shipment. I have not seen fluted ginger jars before either, they are perfection. I am enjoying your victories.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about your HG. This area is so bustling, things fly out of the stores. It's a great market for HG.
DeleteEver since I saw that Charlotte Moss-designed room, I have longed to place my bed smack in the center of my bedroom. Everything about that design is exquisite—and definitive CM. Best wishes.
ReplyDeleteI did that in my previous home. The only issue is lamps on bedside tables.
DeleteThat pale blue and soft lavender room of Charlotte Moss's is just lovely. Did that appear in one of her books? Can you tell me where you found that image?
ReplyDeleteI posted it years ago - definitely in one of her books - perhaps Charlotte Moss Decorates.
DeleteSo many beautiful images in this post. I had not heard of the Elsa Shiaparelli autobiography until now. Thanks for the info, Beth.
ReplyDeleteI'd love a copy but in excellent condition they run about $500.
DeleteHope I can sneak off to Home Goods tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteWhen I worked at the Dali Museum in St. Pete, we lent some paintings to an amazing Schiaparelli exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Those are two of my favorite museums in the world.
DeleteI’d be happy just to find a wicker car seat!
ReplyDeleteNot sure how it would look in my Audi - LOL.
DeleteLove those ginger jars so much. I will go in search of them here in Dallas but don't believe I have a prayer!!! You are one lucky gal!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised Dallas doesn't have great HG.
