Chinoiserie High/Low

Rebecca de Ravenel Chinoiserie Bon Bon Earrings

 If the truth be told, I love fashion almost as much as I love interior design. I especially have a thing for earrings And I wear earrings 24/7! I am a big fan of Rebecca de Ravenel's. I love these Chinoiserie earrings so much, but they are $295.

And these on Etsy are $25 for the small and $30 for the large and the seller has 1,800 sales and rave reviews. BTW, they are available in large or small, clip or pierced, silver tone or gold tone fittings. (I do not have pierced ears and love finding clips).

Guess which ones I am ordering? 

The Leopard Ottoman Rug

Rebecca De Ravenel

Domino magazine did a wonderful feature on the stunning apartment of Rebecca De Ravenel and they identify this leopard rug as a Gio Ponti ottoman cover rug purchased at Hollywood at Home. OK you smart followers, I fell in love with this one below years ago in the home of Ruthie Sommers and it and the others pictured are by Piero Fornasetti from the 1960s.

I am wondering why the one in the home of De Ravenel has been identified as by Gio Ponti.  I know that Fornasetti and Ponti collaborated, but not on this piece to my knowledge. At any rate, would love one of these for my own home. Leopard and Chinoiserie are such a classic combination.
