New HomeGoods Finds

CCC

I love topiaries and have many in my garden at CCC. In Virginia, my topiaries were English Boxwood which sadly does not grow here in South Florida. Fortunately, there are many great substitutes like Eugenia that loves it here. 

The Chinoiserie Diffuser

NEST New York Indian Jasmine Diffuser

 

I am a big fan of reed diffusers. They are especially wonderful in the hot summer when the the idea of a candle burning may not seem quite as appealing.

The Scent of Spring

Urban Stems

 

Three of my favorite flowers are peonies, roses, and freesia. I found a lovely candle I have to share that combines these three wonderful floral scents.

Perfect Mother's Day Gift for the Chinoiserie Lover

Jasmine and Yuzu Porcelain Diffuser

I have found a delightful gift for Mother's Day. Refresh any room with the sophisticated floral and citrus notes of jasmine and yuzu. Simply place the porous porcelain floral sprigs in the bottle of oil to disperse the light, delicate fragrance. Both the visual and the scent are very Chinoiserie Chic. 

Limited Edition Rattan Candles & Diffusers

NEST New York

One of my very favorite candle companies NEST New York has come out with limited edition rattan candles and diffusers in three signature scents. They are available in a single wick candle, a three wick candle, and a diffuser in Bamboo, Grapefruit, or Cedar Leaf and Lavender. Note that the rattan sleeves can be removed and used on any NEST 3 wick candle, 1 wick candle, or diffuser.

The Scent of a Home

Marie Daage

 

I have a collection of these wonderful chinoiserie candles I got years ago at Neiman Marcus. These hand painted porcelain Limoges goblets feature Chinaman on a Swing, often seen in chinoiserie fabrics and wallpapers. I unfortunately can't source them anywhere in the US for you, just abroad. But they are so darling, I had to share.

De Gournay in Short Measures

I know we all love de Gournay, and here are two small but lovely ways of including it in our homes, that are a bit more budget friendly than an entire wallpapered room. Pictured above is Athousa's Limited Edition de Gournay Jardinieres & Citrus Trees Diffuser. I bought one recently, and it is the most heavenly combination of Mandarin Orange, Sicilian Tangerine, Valencia Orange, Mountain Fir, Petitgrain, Lemon Leaves, Cedarwood, and White Musk. The bottle is beautiful. I am obsessed with home scents and this is to die for.

This wonderful idea is from the November issue of House Beautiful and is from interior designer Martha Angus. She used scraps of de Gournay left over from a showhouse project to cover the dining table, protected by Plexiglass. The napkin is aubergine with the menu on top, the flatware is face down European style. I bet you are curious to see the showhouse room too-click here for my previous post. Keep your eyes open on eBay for scraps of fabrics like Fortuny and wallpaper like de Gournay, Gracie, and Fromental. I bet many of you have something else de Gournay in your homes.
