Orange & Blue Chinoiserie for Autumn

CCC Alexandria


This vignette is from the dining room in my former home in Alexandria, Virginia. It was wonderful in the autumn especially with its orange chinoiserie toile wallpaper. The wallpaper is Clarence House Chinoiserie Baroque. I miss it, but luckily I had enough left over to wallpaper my powder room here in Florida.

My front entrance here in Florida has orange and blue chinoiserie. I added four beautiful heirloom pumpkins just yesterday. I will do a post all about heirloom pumpkins - they are wonderful in every way. These are Jarrahdale from Australia that are celadon green when young and age to a gray - blue.

Do you see two little puppy faces in the French doors? I heartlessly abandoned them for 60 seconds to take pictures.

Have a great weekend. I am going to a favorite restaurant tomorrow night with friends and to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game on Sunday.

  1. Beautiful !! Are the walls textured in your Florida home? Did they have to use a wallpaper liner in your bathroom? Ours are slightly textured in our house on the other side of Florida and I want to paper our guest bathroom.

    1. The bathrooms were not because they were previously wallpapered. But if they are textured, the wallpaper hanger just does a light sanding. Very easy.

  3. I'd love to add topiary at my entrance here in Florida but my husband thinks the lizards will establish residence!

    1. That has not happened to me, but our sweet little anoles are harmless and beneficial eating insects. Nature is one of the best parts of Florida after all.

  4. Beautiful hardwood floors at your house in Alexandria. I have hardwood floors throughout my home in northern CA, and I love them. I love your front porch, Beth. I love the topiaries. I still remember that post of yours some time ago with the gardenia trees. I planted two gardenia trees in matching planting beds outside of my French doors. I didn't realize gardenias were so fussy, until I did plant them. They are healthy, but have yet to bloom.
