The Chinoiserie Living Room

Archicterural Digest

One wall has de Gournay Chinoiserie wallpaper, the opposite wall a piece of art by my favorite artist Elliott Puckette.

Modern Art and Chinoiserie

I have started adding modern art to my Chinoiserie home - a combination I love. You will see some new additions in my One Room Challenge. If money were no object, I would love a piece by Elliott Puckette for my living room. Day three of no power and no air conditioning and another 100 degree day here in DC.

Chinoiserie in the Pink

If money were no object, my Valentine's Day gift choice would be this Elliott Puckette pink gesso and ink painting. The photo above is of the artist and her daughter in their NYC home. But regardless of whether it is a work of art, wall color, or fabric, pink is not just for little girl's bedrooms anymore. Pink is a modern and elegant look for any room, especially those with Chinoiserie elements. Pink is a knockout with virtually any Chinoiserie including blue and white Chinese porcelain, gold, black lacquer, celadon, or Blanc de Chine. In honor of Valentine's Day, here are some of my favorite pink rooms.
