Iconic Chinoiserie Pieces/The Wicker Elephant Stand

1stDibs

 

The wicker elephant stand/table/stool is an iconic chinoiserie piece that is very collectible. Nice vintage ones have gotten harder to find and go for very high prices on places like Chairish and 1stDibs. I really like them spray painted in fun colors and it's so easy to do. A perfect DIY anyone can handle. First, some inspiration.

Autumn and Chinoiserie DIY

 I have shared this one before, but it is always so popular that it bears repeating. Get a pair of these fantastic and cheap Chinese Chippendale planters at Home Depot available in both 14" and 18." Spray paint them orange - I like Rustoleum Orange Gloss. Use them indoors with a pair of fiddle leaf fig trees, palms, or ficus, or outdoors with mums or boxwoods. This is fall decorating with Chinoiserie Chic style.

A Chinoiserie Christmas - DIY Red

What room couldn't use a pop of Chinese red Chinoiserie? Perhaps you have a great vintage Chinoiserie piece from Craigslist, eBay, Etsy, or a flea market? Spray paint it red for a wonderful focal point in any room. I especially like Rustoleum Lacquer in Chinese Red. My Christmas decorating posts to date -
