Chinoiserie Chic House Tour - My Dressing Room

When my photographer shot the photos of my Chinoiserie Man Cave for the One Room Challenge reveal, I decided to have her take photos of several other rooms in my home as well.

For some of my posts this week and next, I will take you on a house tour of these rooms. I hope you enjoy it. I start today with my dressing room. Several years ago, I decided to convert a small bedroom in my house into a dressing room for myself that houses my accessories. There is a rack for shoes, one for my hats, and one for handbags. The dresser holds jewelry. One of my favorite things is the pair of antique chairs I found at auction and had upholstered in leopard velvet.

The wall color is a pink I had custom matched to a Thomas Pink shopping bag.

House Tour - My Dressing Room

Today is my birthday and we are going to take a little tour of my inner sanctum - my dressing room. Several years back, I converted an extra bedroom into my dressing room. Using Elfa shelving from The Container Store, now my shoes, handbags, and hats each have their own wall. The walls were painted to match a Thomas Pink shopping bag. The dresser houses my jewelry and was my daughter's dresser in her nursery. The striped silk taffeta curtains are from Restoration Hardware and stay closed at all times. The chairs are antiques I bought at auction and had covered in leopard velvet and topped them with feather pillows from Anthropologie.

When I converted an extra bedroom into my dressing room, I painted the room Thomas Pink pink by taking a shopping bag with me to Benjamin Moore, then added all the Elfa shelving, but a recent tweak of the room added Chinoiserie touches and really made it my own. (Click photos to enlarge)
