Modern Ginger Jars

A wonderful way to freshen a collection of blue and white Chinese porcelain is by adding a blue and white ginger jar in an unexpected and modern design. I have rounded up some fabulous choices.

Chinoiserie Style

Samantha Todhunter Design

I had the most wonderful week here in my little paradise and I am looking forward to kicking back this weekend. I hope you are too. Yesterday my gorgeous gold bamboo flatware arrived. Remember when I said it was 46 pieces? My lovely eBay seller had 8 additional teaspoons that she included as a little gift. Today they all get a little bath and polish.

I adore the whole Palm Beach look, and was completely captivated when I came upon this incredible modern approach to Palm Beach and Chinoiserie. This house has tons of classic Chinoiserie, but it is used it in such a fresh, clean, and modern way. There are so many great ideas here!

Modern Traditional Chinoiserie

Melanie Tarver

Chinoiserie is wonderful in a setting like this, a sophisticated updated version of traditional. The black walls and sophisticated palette of black and white are very understated and elegant. My favorite is the pair of Chinese inspired Greek key chairs.

This picture is from Wisteria and the Chinese Square Swirls Chair is available there.
