I bet you didn't think I would do a post on the Olympics and chinoiserie. Oh ye of little faith. Well here we go. Especially after local Sarasota girl Emma Weyant medaled in swimming. Florida is second only to California for the number of summer Olympians. There are six Sarasota natives competing.
Vintage sports equipment and chinoiserie are a wonderful combination. I find this look especially charming in beach and vacation homes that tend to be more casual and outdoorsy. Perfect for an entryway or for a mudroom.
Here is some inspiration. These are my badminton and tennis racquets from camp when I was a little girl.

This is hysterical - I was apparently into bamboo back then - LOL.

Are you in the market for an umbrella stand for your home? Here are some great options for chinoiserie umbrella stands. Vintage racquets can be sourced on eBay, Etsy, and even Goodwill, but I bet you might have some in your garage. I have a friend with a gorgeous collection of antique walking sticks in an umbrella stand. And umbrellas are allowed too.
Love the picture of the hallway with the shabby looking shuttered door. The entire vignette is terrific. I think it's cute that you saved your old athletic equipment, Beth.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a clever post and a fun idea. I am definitely going to do this.
