Checks

Midnight Check Royal Shirt Dress

 

Checks are such a classic. This dress is a great summer staple that can easily be dressed up or down and go to lunch in sneakers or dinner with pearls and heels. I love the band collar, relaxed silhouette, and pockets.

Eclectic Mix

Melissa Morgan

 In this entry, a large collection of Goya etchings mix with a dramatic pair of antique blue and white ginger jars. Lots of texture with the exposed brick wall and tile floors. If you hang a collection of art with minimal space in between, visually it becomes one large pice of art.

Blue and White

Mark Sikes

 A lovely blue and white room in the home of Mark Sikes. I of course love the wicker and the ginger jars and the framed chinoiserie panel. My favorite piece is the vintage Italian camel garden stool. I passed on one of these in Georgetown at a consignment shop a few years back and could kick myself. Oh well.... The only thing I do not love here are the checked walls. I think I would tire of those, but checks are definitely a signature of his - sort of like Miles Redd's ruffled curtains. 

Enjoy your Sunday. It will be gorgeous here with temps in the 70's all week. I should also have a very exciting delivery this week that has been tied up at the port in Tampa. 

Checks and Chinoiserie

Neiman Marcus - Juliska Dinnerware

I  love the combination of checks and Chinoiserie - so fresh, clean, and classic. This is a lovely example above in classic blue and white. Below are more examples and find even more on my Pinterest board here.

Stripes, Checks, Toile, and Chinoiserie

Who but Carolyne Roehm could take striped walls, checked bedding, and a Chinoiserie canopy bed draped in French toile and have it come out like this? Amazing. The key of course to mixing all this pattern here is the blue and white palette.

What do we think about the green checked/gingham shades on the blue and white Chinese lamps? Not sure I wouldn't have gone with white or perhaps a solid green silk if I wanted to pick up more green. Thoughts?

Great Chinoiserie Rooms That Break the Rules in Style

Checks are too French Country to work with Chinoiserie? I think these rooms work beautifully.
