Chinese Chippendale Planters

These are great for annuals, tropicals, topiaries, or house plants and would also be perfect for faux plants. Made of polypropylene, these are maintenance free.

Dining Room Inspiration
![]() |
| Alessandra Branca - Architectural Digest |
I posted this a few years ago, but happened upon it again and there are so many great ideas here. The Chinese Chippendale chairs are vintage in her signature red, the cushions are Quadrille, the table is RH, and those cool wicker pendants are Ikea. Ikea is a great source for lighting BTW. I love the shells and hurricanes as table centerpieces. All in all, a wonderful eclectic mix.
I can't say I love the curtains blocking the view of the gorgeous Chinese Chippendale railing and palm trees. I would lose them. I wonder what it's like walking on those floors barefoot? They look more like pool decking to me. I would have used limestone/shellstone tiles myself.

The Blue and White Chinoiserie Kitchen
![]() |
| Scott Snyder |
This is quite a kitchen. The Chinese Chippendale table and chairs and the Greek key floor are incredible. And a preemptive strike against the inevitable comments about how this is not practical. Not everyone has little kids and/or spends their days cooking.
Many people carry out or order in or eat out. Many people buy prepared foods and microwave. Many people have outdoor kitchens like here in Florida. A growing trend is a wet and a dry kitchen. Many people today including baby boomers and empty nesters want a kitchen that looks like the rest of their home.
I don't cook. Been there/done that. I use my range once in a blue moon. And I know this is weird, but I have never liked hot food. I love sushi, salads, poke, sandwiches, cold soups, cheese = especially here in South Florida. This designer is based in Palm Beach BTW.
If I redo my kitchen, it will have marble countertops and chinoiserie wallpaper panels and glass and brass shelving.
I wonder what the floor is? Tiled? Painted concrete? Another view.

Red Tropical Chinoiserie
![]() |
| Alessandra Branca - Architectural Digest |
This dining room in the Bahamian retreat of interior designer Alessandra Branca is a great example of what I call Tropical Chinoiserie. She mixes vintage Chinese Chippendale chairs, a RH dining table and rattan pendants from Ikea. Her signature red is especially nice at Christmas.
Do you see the red Chinese Chippendale railing? - here is the view. Who needs outdoor Christmas decorations with this red and green? And note the orchids on the palms that I have posted on. What a stunning view.

The Chinoiserie Bedroom

| Amanda Lindroth |
This is a neat idea - using two twin headboards together to create a king bed. I love the Chinese Chippendale beds and bedside tables and the coral pink and white palette. And the wicker tray is so lovely - I could go for some fresh squeezed orange juice this morning or even a mimosa - it is Sunday after all!

Preppy Chinoiserie Poolside

| One Kings Lane |
Chinese Chippendale rattan, leopard pillows, and a palette of blue and white with pops of hot pink create a very chic poolside retreat.

Outfitting The Lanai
![]() |
| Miles Redd - Ballard Designs |
I am having so much fun decorating the lanai - it is home to a lot of my blue and white Chinese porcelain collection. Last week I posted about my love of hoof legged and paw footed furniture. I had been eyeing this outdoor coffee table by Miles Redd at Ballard Designs, but didn't previously have a spot for it and it was $999.00. But last week the price was down to well under $200 and I decided it would be great for the lanai. I even got free shipping having it delivered to the Tampa store.

I really like how it is styled in the first photo with the Chinese Chippendale chaises. Chaises are also a great idea for poolside. I will start exploring ideas for a pair of chaises, I think. Stay tuned!
