Blue and White Chinese Garden Stools

Palm Beach Home of Danielle Rollins and Tom D'Agostino

Blue and white Chinese garden stools are such a classic. I love using them indoors and in the garden. I also love a pair flanking the front door as shown here. 

A Gorgeous Garden Stool

Silvie Garden Stool

 

I'll bet most everyone reading this has at least one blue and white Chinese garden stool. I have many at CCC both indoors and outdoors. I have found a new one that really is an especially lovely example.

The Pedestal "Garden Stool"

Studio McGee Plaster Accent Table

 

The longer I live in Florida, the more I love using white in my home. I love color, but white, whether walls or furniture, is such a perfect backdrop for any and every color. The exterior of my home is white stucco, my walls in my home are white, and I am using more white accent pieces in my home.

Color & Chinoiserie

20th Century Rose Medallion Garden Stool

If you love color and chinoiserie, Rose Medallion is a perfect choice. It features vibrant colors, intricate details, and a center medallion featuring, people, floral, or fauna. A great example is this Rose Medallion garden stool above. Antique versions are often thousands of dollars.

 I have posted many times before about seagrass matting and about banana leaf wallpaper - both faves of mine. Well this is a great new discovery - the flooring above is banana leaf matting. The room is stunning with its palms, rattan, straw hats, white slipcovers, canopy bed, mosquito netting, and even a blue and white garden stool. Such understated elegance. Speaking of mosquitoes, I have never seen a mosquito here. Very odd.

The Palm Beach Bath

 A beautiful bathroom with wallpapered walls, a dramatic Paule Marrot print, and a vintage elephant garden stool. 

The pups and I are off on a road trip to collect my canvas palm tree - my Christmas gift to myself that has been tied up in port. Very exciting!

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.

Lyford Cay - Veranda

This is a great example of how touches of black - the bamboo chair, picture frame, and legs on the settee ground this space. Love the mirrored trellis and pair of garden stools.

Chinoiserie Outdoors

I love using blue and white Chinese porcelain outdoors and I live in the DC area where we do have winter. I keep my Chinese garden stools and ginger jars out all year round - some have been outdoors for 20 years with no deterioration whatsoever. Planters are a different matter where water in the soil can freeze and expand and cause cracks. I just counted and have eight blue and white Chinese garden stools in my garden and have started a bit of a trend in my neighborhood with them popping up.

The Chinoiserie Living Room

Summer Thornton Interiors

White linen sofas, wood beams, and Audubon prints are combined with blue and white Chinese ginger jar lamps, a blue and white Chinese garden stool, and blue and white Chinese porcelain.

Navy Blue and White

Better Homes and Gardens

A great example of how fresh and crisp blue and white can be with a wonderful window seat and lots of blue and white pillows. The blue and white Chinese porcelain lamp, blue and white Chinese garden stool, and Greek key pillows are lovely touches.

Here neutral walls, slipper chairs, x benches, rug, and chandelier get a great dose of Chinoiserie with a blue and white garden stool, blue and white Chinese porcelain, and a black lacquered coffee table.

Stripes and Chinoiserie

I can't get enough of the combination of navy and white stripes and Chinoiserie. This navy and white striped garden stool is on Joss & Main here. Not a member? Link below -

Chinoiserie DIY

Top an elephant garden stool with a round of glass for a wonderful Chinoiserie side table. These elephants can be found new or vintage in every price range.

A Silver Chinoiserie Bathroom

This silver bathroom is from the same Atlanta home by interior designer Beth Webb featured in the current House Beautiful as yesterday's post. The bathroom gets a chic dose of Chinoiserie with the addition of the two silver garden stools. The bathtub was painted silver by a local auto body shop to match a Merdedes Benz paint color.

Chinoiserie Outdoors - Black and White

I absolutely adore black and white stripes in the garden. This covered patio by Mary McDonald with a pair of black Chinese garden stools is so classic. I came across these black and white stripe outdoor chairs from Terrain and think they are amazing - don't you?

Elephant Garden Stool High/Low

This wonderful vintage elephant garden table/stool above is available for $340 at Duchess Fare here. The remarkably similar one below is almost three times the price at $975 at 1st dibs. These elephant stools are loved by interior designers and this one above is an especially beautiful example with all his detailing and colors. He can be used as a side table, a plant stand, or a seat and adds instant Hollywood Regency and Chinoiserie Chic style to any room.
