Feminine Chinoiserie Lighting



Unfortunately, this gorgeous vintage palm chandelier has sold on Etsy, but it is a great example of what you can do with a can of hot pink spray paint!

This week we are looking at the feminine side of Chinoiserie. Yesterday, my new Ideabook on Chinoiserie Lighting was featured on the Homepage of Houzz. You can see it here. Here are some more great feminine Chinoiserie lighting ideas and inspiration boards.

Speaking of the feminine side of interior design, I hope you have joined Polyvore and have entered The Pink Pagoda's contest called "Art-Filled & Feminine" here.

You can follow me on Polyvore here and join my new Polyvore Chinoiserie Chic group here.

The Feminine Gallery Wall

Traditional Home
Please don't imagine that the gallery wall works only in modern or boho homes. The gallery wall works beautifully with all kinds of styles including traditional and feminine as this example above demonstrates. What an amazing idea to give these traditional engravings a modern feel by overlapping them. Today we will be looking at gallery walls with a feminine bent as part of our series on feminine spaces.

This may give you inspiration in your own home and to stop by and enter The Pink Pagoda's design board contest on "Art-Filled and Feminine" here.

You can find lots of examples on my Pinterest Board on The Gallery Wall here.

Great gallery walls are popping up in shops too - J.Crew and Kate spade stores often have wonderful ones.

Are You Girly?


House Beautiful has a very cute piece called "You Know Your Decorating Style is Girly When...." I have posted many of the photos they used in previous posts and can answer yes to the vast majority of their questions. You can find it here. Is your decorating style feminine?

In your bedroom, a vanity is a necessity - I love this Ruthie Sommers' bedroom and just posted on it.

You love wallpaper with flowers and birds - of course! Doesn't the majority of Chinoiserie wallpaper have flowers and birds?

You love a good ruffle - I think Miles Redd has gone overboard with his ruffled curtains, but I still love ruffles.

When you look up, you see chandeliers. What else, those ghastly recessed lights?

You always have pink rose in the fridge - does pink Champagne count? It better.

You love Dorothy Draper - a big yes, and this book is in my library.

Do you use jewelry as decoration? YES!!!!! In my bedroom, dressing room, laundry room, and living room.

Any of your walls painted pink? Three of my rooms are painted pink. I couldn't live without pink.

A pink garage - not yet, but this is fabulous!

"Even if other inhabitants of your home aren't big on pink, they have to deal with it. " This fits me to a T.
