Hollyhocks

Hollyhocks

 

I loved growing hollyhocks in my gardens in Virginia. Hollyhocks are a favorite motif in classic chintz fabrics like Lee Jofa Hollyhock that was created over 100 years ago -

Another favorite classic hollyhock fabric is by Sanderson.

The Blue and White Chinoiserie Powder Room

CBi Studio

This wonderful powder room features Lee Jofa's adaptation of Blue Willow china called Willow Lake. The classic chinoiserie Blue Willow pattern is 300 years old and depicts the tale of two thwarted lovers.

A Tropical Vignette

Paolo Moschino

 

I love everything about this vignette. Slipper chairs are by far my favorite chairs. Elegant, low profile, and so comfortable. My favorite chair at CCC is a vintage signed Baker chair with goose down cushions. 

The Blue and White Powder Room

Courtney Blanton Interiors

This pretty powder room features Lee Jofa wallpaper, a silver pagoda mirror, and a marble washstand. The paneling provides framing for this beautiful chinoiserie paper. 

I do wish the hand towel had a blue monogram. I love white towels, but this looks a tad sad. And the staged flowers tied with a ribbon is just wrong. And is that a silver wine bottle coaster? The staging here is a distraction.
