Sunday Inspiration - Blue and White

Griffin & Wong

This gorgeous blue and white hand painted wallpaper is Hapsburg at Griffin & Wong, part of their Chinoiserie Papers Collection. I am very excited to be using it in the dining room of a home I am working on in California. Griffin & Wong has been great to work with and I hope to share pictures with you down the road.

Celebration Week - Inspiration Boards and a Fabulous Giveaway

This coming Saturday, May 4, 2013 is my four year blog anniversary - with well over 2,000 posts. I plan to celebrate with a whole week of inspiration boards for each room of my fantasy Chinoiserie Chic house and the announcement of my blogiversary giveaway on Friday that you will not want to miss.

The Chinoiserie wallpaper is by Griffin & Wong "Song Sassoon" in a beautiful blue. The large circular table is silver leaf by James Mont circa 1940s. Six Frances Elkins loop chairs will surround the table. They are lacquered in white with gray leather seats. The faux malachite painted console table has gilded edges. For some fun, the console table will have a pair of Jonathan Adler Georgia breast lamps -  check it out here. A Marjorie Skouras chandelier is a wonderful focal point. A pair of antique Famille Rose Chinese garden stools will be tucked next to the dining table. My go to curtains, interlined silk taffeta, here in my favorite coral pink, will hang at the windows.

Now pop over to The Glam Pad to see my virtual makeover of the backyard of the Chinese Village House for inspiration on bringing Chinoiserie outdoors.

My First Inspiration Board

I decided it was about time I started creating my own inspiration boards. I have no idea what I am doing, but this is my first stab at one using items I have recently posted on. Pretty cute.
