Banana Leaf

Southern Living

 I absolutely adore a corner banquette and this one is quite wonderful with its Dorothy Draper banana leaf fabric Brazilliance and bullion fringe. The walls are painted Packard Blue from the Dorothy Draper/Carleton Varney Collection.

I love the bamboo directors chairs - definitely my favorite folding chairs. The tiki statues are a fun choice here.

It would be quite a project cleaning that window though - lots of heavy moving.

The Chinoiserie Bathroom

HGTV

What a fun bathroom. The wallpaper is Carleton Varney's Growing Wild. I love the wicker elephant. They can be found vintage or new. In a bathroom I would use it to hold towels. The faux bamboo mirror is anther great Chinoiserie touch.

One of my favorite places.

Pink Pagoda Pelmet

Yesterday, The Pink Pagoda posted on this very pink dining room by Carleton Varney. The room is way too much for me although I love pink, but I do love the silk taffeta curtains with a pagoda pelmet with bells. Ths is a great idea to copy for a dining room or bedroom. See my post here for more pagoda pelmet inspiration.
