Modern Ginger Jars

Mimosa Lane

A wonderful way to freshen a collection of blue and white Chinese porcelain is by adding a blue and white ginger jar in an unexpected and modern design. I have rounded up some fabulous choices.

The Skirted Table

Amanda Lindroth

I am a sucker for a great skirted table, and I especially like the styling of this one with its pair of oversized blue and white ginger jars, a pair of blue and white brushstroke lamps, the gorgeous painted floor, a pair of framed botanicals, coral, a potted orchid, a dramatic mirror, and a fiddle leaf fig. There is a lot of symmetry going on here, but enough asymmetry that to me it is a nice balance. BTW, skirted tables are great for extra storage.

I love those Bunny Williams double gourd brushstroke lamps, but they retail for over $1,000 each - I got this one at HomeGoods for $30.00.

Lovely blue and white styling features a Bunny Williams brushstroke lamp, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and modern art layered in front of a gold mirror. The lampshade is stunning.

Sunday Inspiration - Pink Powder Room

Amanda Nisbet

Isn't this is a stunning powder room by Amanda Nisbet? She used her own Positano brushstroke fabric on the walls custom colored in hot pink. More rooms in Positano below. This powder room, despite its tiny size, is big on decorating ideas.

*Combine pink and black
*Fabric on the walls instead of wallpaper
*A powder room is the ideal place to go dramatic
*Want to use an expensive wallpaper ? Use it in the powder room - you won't need many rolls
*Don't be afraid to use art on bold wallpaper, especially when you keep it graphic

Want to see more brushstroke? I have a Pinterest board on it here.

Trending - Brushstroke and a New Inspiration Board

My brushstroke inspiration board

I have long been a fan of the late Cy Twombly and graffiti art, so I am very attracted to the new trend of brushstroke in interior design. I have created an inspiration board using Amanda Nisbet's silk Positano fabric on the walls and combined it with Chinoiserie. Here is more inspiration on using this look in your own home including a couple of great DIY projects. I have created a Pinterest board on Brushstroke here. Have you entered my Charlotte & Ivy giveaway?
