Friday From My Chinoiserie Home

When I converted an extra bedroom into my dressing room, I painted the room Thomas Pink pink by taking a shopping bag with me to Benjamin Moore, then added all the Elfa shelving, but a recent tweak of the room added Chinoiserie touches and really made it my own. (Click photos to enlarge)

A Greek key bolster adds a Hollywood Regency touch to the Ghost chair.

My Christmas Decorating-Dressing Room

My Thomas Pink pink dressing room is quite dramatic on its own, and requires only a bit of tweaking for the holidays. Please click on the photos to enlarge them. Above, the blue and white Chinese ginger jar gets dressed up for Christmas in a pink tassel. Below, the crystal chandelier looks quite festive.

This feather boa looks like a garland hanging on the full length mirror.

A pink Phillip Lim cocktail dress is all ready for a Christmas party.

The vintage Chanel tulle hat looks like a wreath sitting on the ghost chair.
