The Chinoiserie Powder Room

Grapevine Interiors

 

A powder room is the perfect place to splurge without breaking the bank. It is my favorite place in the home to use a chinoiserie wallpaper. Usually not many rolls of wallpaper are required, especially where there is tile or wainscoting on the lower half of the walls, and just one or two fabulous monogrammed hand towels will make quite a statement. 

When Life Gives You Lemons

Citrus Garden by Schumacher - Quintessence

When life gives you lemons, my favorite tip is to order the lobster tail.
Schumacher Citrus Garden by Josef Frank is an iconic archival pattern created in 1947. This charming and whimsical pattern was drawn entirely by hand. I have always been enchanted by the way it plays so well with chinoiserie. I especially love it paired with blue and white Chinese porcelain.
