Classic Wicker Is Forever

Serena and Lily

 

While much of the country is seeing white in the form of snow, this is my idea of white - classic white wicker.

Bunny Williams Foyer - I Spy

Bunny Williams

I came across this picture of the foyer in the Connecticut home of Bunny Williams and John Rosselli. If you look closely you will see a white obelisk just inside the door. I have what looks to be the same one that I picked up years ago at a favorite vintage store in McLean, Virginia. 

The Mini Chinoiserie Dining Room

CCC

My newest addition to my mini rattan beach house is this pair of Chinese panels. The panels are over 100 year old antique Chinese embroidered silk. They feature beautiful exotic climbing tropical plants and even a palm tree. I made them from remnants from an antique kimono.

The wool needlepoint rug is vintage from an estate. It is circa 1981 and dated and signed by the creator.

An Eclectic Dining Room

Emma Grant - House & Garden UK

I really love this eclectic dining room in the Regent Park London flat of interior designer Emma Grant. The chairs are vintage bamboo. The curved marble topped table is 19th century. This wonderful table reminds me of a grand piano. The high ceilings and millwork are stunning.

John Rosselli Auction

John Rosselli

 Another victim of the pandemic, the wonderful NYC store of John Rosselli (also the husband of Bunny Williams) shuttered a while back. Today at 11 am, some of it goes to auction at Stair Galleries. Online and telephone bids will be taken as well. Here are some of my favorites. The chandelier would be great for my walk-in closet.

Chinoiserie Wallpaper

Anewall at Anthroplogie

Is anyone familiar with Anewall? This wallpaper is by two sisters in Canada. It's available at Anthropologie here. 

Anewall is the work of two sisters from Vancouver. They design vibrant wallpaper and wall art inspired by their love for the French countryside and all things vintage.

It reminds me a bit of this wallpaper I posted about a few years back. The wallpaper is salvaged 18th century hand painted that was found at auction and pasted into a collage. (The trundle bed was their daughter's in their former East Village apartment).
