Today we look at piece number 4 from Elle Decor's Top Ten Chinoiserie Pieces. This is the Chandler Chest by Diane Granda for Henredon priced at $5,685 to use as a dining room buffet or televison stand. I am underwhelmed at that price. Below are some similar great Chinese cabinets starting at $339. Below that is a brilliant Ikea Rast Hack by the equally brilliant Naomi Stein of Design Manifest. She created this amazing Asian lacquer double campaign chest that she originally used as a console and now for her television for $150!!!!!!!!! See all the details here.
I am positively smitten with all the creativity and ingenuity behind this Philadelphia loft apartment of Naomi Stein of the blog Design Manifest. It is an absolute treasure trove of vintage finds and Chinoiserie DIY ideas. You will find a link in her sidebar to her DIY projects.
