Chinoiserie Outdoor Living

The weather in DC has been surprisingly delightful so far this summer and it has me thinking of all the outdoor projects I have ignored to date. This Master Terrace by Parker Kennedy was created for the 2014 Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Decorators' Showhouse and sponsored by Scalamandre. Now this is what my terrace should look like! I love all the vintage pieces they incorporated and especially the singerie blanc de Chine monkeys.

Hot Pink & Dogs

When I was working on yesterday's post on ginger jars, I came across these photos in my files. They are of the living room that Parker Kennedy did for last year's Atlanta Show House and the room is quite fabulous. I love the color palette of hot pink, navy, and white. Check out the hot pink ceiling and the pink juju hat! I've never done a ceiling this bold. What do you think?

Do you see the large whippet on the console? I saw one of these the other day in my travels in a consignment shop and have been debating buying it ever since. It's like the ones I have pictured below, and tassels on the collar are pink. I might have to go back today and get it. It's so quintessentially Palm Beach Chic and I adore dogs.
