The Chinoiserie Entryway

Mary Ellen Becker

Lovely blue and white inspiration in this entryway with quite a collection of blue and white Chinese porcelain. Here it is with the table styled two different ways. I also spy a favorite candle of mine - Diptyque Baies.

  1. I love the second picture! The table arrangement in the first photo looks too crowded and a bit haphazard for my taste. The floor arrangement is terrific.

  2. If you've got it flaunt it and this photo epitomizes that! Love it all.

  3. Those matching ginger jars on the tabletop are elegant. A lovely collection and design; the second picture is best, I agree.

  4. Love the first. Unexpected mix of interesting things, even if a bit crowded.

  5. Great, airy, entryway with tall ceilings and nice millwork. Love the mirror and the table and love the assortment of porcelain pieces although I find it all bit jammed.

    The top of the table looks better in the second shot but it could easily do without the second (of the pair) ginger jar. And the collection under the table could use some paring down, again, given the tight space. Spilling beyond the table legs and so close to the edges doesn't do it for me.

    Still...a really nice room.

  6. Can’t leave well enough alone....studying the second shot. Would have taken that garden stool from underneath the table and place it to the left of the sofa / under the window. Giving it a touch of blue and some connectivity to the front. Also ballancing the tightly packed front to the sparse back. Just a touch.

  7. A little too much going on for me - it’s like an outfit with way too many accessories! I agree with Delta in regard to moving the stool to the living room to build more connectivity between the two rooms.

  8. Such pretty things. It does seem a bit crammed. I wonder what else is in the entrance way?
    I do think the garden stool seems odd under the table amongst all the other vases.

  9. I think it all looks beautiful, just as is. The only think I don't care for is the candle sconce on the wall. It appears it is leaning and if you actually lit the candles, they would drip on the porcelain pieces, furniture and floor.

  10. I love both and am envious since my hallway in Manhattan is narrow.
