Fall Home Refresh

Serena and Lily

 

For the lover of the blue and white, light and bright, California Cool, beach house, coastal vibe - like me, Serena and Lily is "As Good As It Gets." The quality is wonderful and the look is timeless. And starting today, the Fall Design Event launches with 20% off site wide with code NEWSEASON. Serena and Lily is perfect for the chinoiserie home, working so well with blue and white Chinese porcelain, chinoiserie wallpapers, and fabrics. 

I have curated my top ten pieces - the best of the best.

Property of a Lady

I am delighted to welcome Property of a Lady as a new sponsor of Chinoiserie Chic, offering a stunning collection of vintage adornments for the body and the home. The exquisite online gallery offers hand selected pieces including 20th century estate and costume jewelry from Lanvin, Chanel, Dior, Joseff of Hollywood, Miriam Haskell and Vrba. Pieces for the home include Chinoiserie, Italian, French, and American pieces spanning over 200 years.

For over ten years, Property of a Lady has also been providing a full range of concierge services to global customers including personal shopping, styling, interior design, and event planning.

I have featured here some of my favorites from the current offerings including my new passion for Chinoiserie jewelry. You can of course always find the link to Property of a Lady in my sidebar.

Welcome Artist Susan Brown

I am happy to welcome artist Susan Brown as an Etsy Sponsor of Chinoiserie Chic. Susan has a special interest in Chinoiserie as you can see. Visit her Etsy shop to view her current collection of original paintings, prints, and even furniture. A very cool idea is the way she has upcycled unusable vinyl record albums into works of art with prints of her paintings. Have you see record frames at places like Michaels? - I have shown an example below. I think a grouping of these album prints framed would be wonderful. You can find Susan's link in my sidebar - check back often as she is always adding new works of art.

Greek Key Upholstery

I love the idea of a chair or sofa upholstered in velvet Greek key fabric.
