Chinoiserie 2012 - The Work Space

Ashley Goforth

Yesterday we looked at some great ideas for organizing your work space with Chinoiserie style. One of my favorite desks is now on sale at Williams-Sonoma Home - the Hampstead with its mahogany faux bamboo legs and glass top. It is now 40% off and is available in two sizes. With its clean lines and glass top, it is perfect as a desk, library table, or can do double duty as a desk and dining table. The smaller size works beautifully to create a work area in a living room or bedroom. This work space by Ashley Goforth above shows a similar style desk with a Chinese screen and slipcovered chair, a look that would be gorgeous with the Hampstead desk. Don't delay - this is on Final Sale Friday.

Williams-Sonoma Home Ginger Jars

Williams-Sonoma Home has their lovely collection of ginger jars on sale now at 25% off. I plan to add the one above to my home.

The Chinoiserie Desk

Are you looking for an incredibly elegant and classic desk? This Chinoiserie version by Williams-Sonoma Home from its Hampstead Collection with its mahogany bamboo legs and glass top would be a wonderful choice.

Chinoiserie Greek Key Mirror

This great looking Greek Key Mirror from Ballard Designs is on sale for $199. In faux bamboo steel, it is a wonderful mirror for the money. It looks quite a bit like Williams-Sonoma Home's Hampstead Mirror priced at $595.

Please Toss

With two feet of record breaking snow headed straight for my house today, my thoughts have turned to staying warm and toasty this wintry weekend in the nation's capitol. I am a huge fan of throws-I have them all over the house. Some of my tips:

1. Cashmere-Williams-Sonoma Home has wonderful quality and colors.

2. Mohair-Ralph Lauren's are luscious.

3. Hermes are gorgeous but pricey.

4. Choose dramatic colors to make a design statement-no need to go boring or matchy matchy.

5. Please don't fold them neatly-a pet peeve of mine-artfully toss like these great examples by interior designer Joe Nye.

The Bamboo Sconce

Williams-Sonoma Home's chic update to an iconic design pairs bamboo with a modern nickel finish and an ivory silk drum shade in this Bamboo Sconce.  A pair of these would be lovely flanking a bed, a fireplace, a bookcase, or an entry table. They are on sale for $99.99 each-a great deal!
