Copy That Look

Vintage faux bamboo mid century modern brass and glass nesting tables like these are readily available at thrift stores, Etsy, Craigslist, flea markets, and the like. I picked up a beautiful set of three in mint condition for about $75. I never thought about using them opened up as a coffee table instead of stacked as a side table. This is another wonderful idea from the Vanessa De Vargas apartment.

A Chic Chinoiserie Apartment on a Budget

I just came across these photos in my files of this great apartment of Vanessa De Vargas featured in 2009 in Lonny. Many of the rooms have different versions - I'm not sure if these are the rooms as they have changed over time or whether they were staged for the Lonny photo shoot. Either way, there are wonderful ideas for decorating with Chinoiserie on a budget. I especially love all the vintage finds.
