Chinoiserie Chic DIY Wallpaper Restocked

Harrison Howard Before the Raj

 

A couple of weeks ago I posted on Harrison Howard's peel and stick wallpaper at a fantastic price and everyone loved them. See the post here. Folks had great ideas on where to use the wallpaper - a folding room screen, decoupage, a camper, a beach house powder room. So many possibilities....

Harrison Howard on One Kings Lane

My friend and extraordinary artist Harrison Howard has a large selection of his gorgeous Chinoiserie art on One Kings Lane at savings you do not want to miss. There is less than one day left in the sale, so don't delay. A giclee by Harrison would make an incredible gift for the Chinoiserie lover in your life this Christmas.

One Room Challenge: A Good Beginning

Harrison Howard Art Framed in Gold Bamboo

 Happy 4th! Welcome to Week 2 of the One Room Challenge here at Chinoiserie Chic. I am pleased with my progress, although it was a short week with a freak storm here Friday that left us with no power for three days and 100 degree temperatures.

One plan I had was to add some great art to my kitchen. So few people use art in their kitchens and I can't understand why. This wonderful piece above is from the Chinoiseries Collection of a favorite artist Harrison Howard. I had it framed in gold bamboo with a raw silk mat in ivory. I am now working on a fantastic gallery wall for another spot.

I have also shown you my two faux bamboo counter stools upholstered in Brunschwig & Fils Xian that I had coated to be completely resistant to spills and stains. These are not new for the challenge, but they show you my inspiration for the room.

I decided to put a gorgeous antique ginger jar on top of the refrigerator, an area that in most kitchens is either for storage or left bare. Finally, I replaced the stainless steel microwave with a shiny black one that has the feel of black lacquer. On top is a white lacquered tray from West Elm I use for mail. You can spot my new Nespresso maker in that photo also - I adore my Nespresso!

His Chinoiseries Collection exemplifies the best of Chinoiserie to me - whimsical, elegant, colorful, sophisticated, and beautiful. This is just a sampling of his work - find his entire gallery here. Harrison's original art and giclee prints are adored by interior designers and lovers of Chinoiserie, gracing beautiful homes the world over. They work perfectly in an entryway, dining room, living room, or bedroom. Their whimsy makes them a lovely choice for a nursery or child's bedroom.

Harrison Howard's Pagodas

The art of Harrison Howard is a favorite of mine and many interior designers and hangs in some of the most beautiful homes in the world. His Chinoiseries series pays homage to the work of 18th century painter Jean Pillement. Whimsical and elegant, these will work virtually anywhere in your home including the entryway, dining room, bedroom, or nursery. His work has been featured many times on Chinoiserie Chic, including my interview with him in 2009. I have shown here several pieces in his Chinoiseries series that feature pagodas and pagoda shaped follies. View his entire gallery here.
