Chinoiserie Lampshades

I saw these black and gold Hillary Thomas pagoda lamps on One Kings Lane yesterday and was really inspired by the idea of adding a red silk pagoda lampshade to a vintage Chinoiserie lamp to really step it up.

Palm Beach Chinoiserie-The Wicker Elephant Table

It all started with this Kate Spade wicker elephant handbag just below that I absolutely adore. Then I saw the vintage black painted wicker elephant table below on Hillary Thomas' One Kings Lane Sale yesterday. So I am now on the hunt for one of these darling side tables, either vintage or new. I love the idea of spray painting it in high gloss black paint. Very Palm Beach. Or perhaps pink-very Lilly Pulitzer.

The Chinoiserie Boy's Nursery

When I began Chinoiserie Chic, one goal was to show Chinoiserie decor in every room of the house. After a year, I have yet to find a Chinoiserie boy's nursery, so I have decided to do a fantasy virtual one. The couple have an elegant and sophisticated home and they want the nursery for the little boy they are about to have to reflect their style in the rest of the home, which includes many lovely Chinoiserie touches. The budget is quite ample. They also wish the room to grow with the boy. I would start with Fromental for the walls in this singerie design. The soft palette and whimsical monkeys are a perfect choice for a nursery.

The beautiful sleigh crib is from Pottery Barn Kids. It looks like an heirloom and converts to a toddler bed.

This beautiful bedding is from Hillary Thomas Designs Candy Shop Collection in Salt Water Taffy in light blue and white seersucker and linen. I would have her do matching seersucker roman shades for the windows.

Doesn't Chinoiserie work well in a boy's nursery? I hope you have found some inspiration here. For more wonderful Chinoiserie children's rooms, revisit my post here.

How do take your Chinoiserie? If you love pink, turquoise, fresh, modern, eclectic, young, and fun, check out this stunning portfolio of California interior designer Hillary Thomas. One of her guiding design principles is the Japanese design concept of "wabi sabi" or finding beauty in the imperfect. Her mix of flea market finds with fine antiques brings an aesthetic that is refreshing, unexpected, and unique.
