The Summer Chinoiserie Table

Eddie Ross

Pink and aqua blue are such a lovely combination. Love the pink jelly beans. The fabric is Quadrille/China Seas Java Java in Pink on White.

Framed Chinoiserie Wall Panels in Rooms

We have been looking this week at beautiful examples of framed Chinoiserie wallpaper panels, antique, vintage, and new. Today we take a look at how to use them in rooms to create a wonderful focal point. Before leaving this mini series, we will give ideas in a post next week on budget DIY versions as well. Above is the living room of Suzanne Rheinstein.

Eddie, Jaithan, et Moi

I had to show you one more picture of Eddie, Jaithan, and me from the D.C.Blogger Party, courtesy of Homer's Odd Isn't He. Check out this link for more great pictures of Eddie, Jaithan, and fellow DC bloggers. Sorry for the lack of original photos, but I always seem to get too involved with the wine and conversation to take pictures.

Eddie Ross & Chinoiserie Flea Marketing

Here I am with Eddie Ross at the home of Michele Ginnerty of My Notting Hill. Michele hosted a DC design blogger party on Friday night in honor of Eddie Ross and his partner Jaithan Kochar who were in town for the weekend. Thanks to Michele for a lovely party and a wonderful opportunity to meet Eddie and Jaithan and connect with even more DC design bloggers. As promised, this weekend's finds. If you ever told me I would have something in my home from J.C. Penney, I would have told you to have your head examined. But I couldn't resist this Chinoiserie footstool after my post on Friday on Ralph Lauren's beautiful Chinoiserie table especially since I saw no faux bamboo pieces this weekend. I plan to paint it and recover the seat in a great fabric. At $99.95 with free shipping (through today, the Code is FALL49), I thought it was worth a try. Since my daughter Kate has her own gorgeous apartment in Georgetown and loves Chinoiserie as well, I know it will find a home. Then below, three actual flea market finds. First, an antique Chinese soapstone carved double vase with intricately carved stems, leaves, and birds. Next, a wonderful blue and white vase with stripes. I've shown it on a sample of the Ralph Lauren toile I have used in the bathroom where it will go. The designs are perfect together. Last, a very fierce crackled celadon foo dog. Although there was only one instead of the usual pair, he will go well in a Chinoiserie vignette where a duo is not needed.

Louis Vuitton Chopsticks

A fun post to start your weekend-a Louis Vuitton Monogram VIP Chopsticks Set. It has two pairs of rosewood chopsticks carved with LV and matching rests in a Monogram box made to look like a Louis Vuitton trunk, with brass hardware and leather tassel. Did you know that chopstick in French is baguette? Have a great weekend. I am going to a dinner party with Eddie Ross tonight with fellow DC bloggers, then the DC Big Flea Market and Lucketts tomorrow and the Georgetown Flea Market on Sunday in search of great Chinoiserie treasures. I'll post on Monday on the party and my finds.
