Pagodas for Spring

Dillard's Southern Living Collection Pagoda Lanterns

I have posted before on Dillard's wonderful pagoda lanterns. Their new collection for this spring and summer has the prettiest colors. These are perfect for setting a beautiful Easter table. Use them as centerpieces, a pair on a sideboard, or on an entryway table. And they are very well priced too.

I love this vignette and it would be so pretty to do with Valentine's Day coming up on a fireplace mantel, sideboard, or chest.

A Chinoiserie Christmas Preview - Pagodas

Southern Living Holiday Collection Gold Pagoda Lantern

So I have started fall decorating, I am waiting "patiently" to start my Halloween decorating, and I have starting looking at ideas for Christmas decorating. But I love it all. Holiday multi - tasking. Here are some Christmas pagodas out now that are too good to wait and risk them selling out. They are from Dillard's Southern Living Collection that is a favorite of mine.

Styling the Coffee Table - Florida Edition

My Coffee Table

I have enjoyed styling my coffee table in the new house. The pink marble slab was brought back from Italy by my late husband's parents decades ago and I have always loved it. The pair of gilded pagoda lanterns are from Charlotte Moss' Manhattan store that unfortunately did not stay open for long - it was wonderful. I found the brass monkey at HomeGoods shortly before moving to Florida. The pink coral is a new (yesterday) HomeGoods find. My HomeGoods store here in Sarasota is fabulous - filled with blue and white Chinese porcelain, Greek key, Kate Spade, and great art believe it or not.

I have now finished the entire first floor of the house and starting upstairs. This house is unusual for South Florida in that it has a second floor. It has two staircases that lead upstairs to two guest bedrooms, a full bath, a huge bonus room, and a large balcony.

Banana leaf wallpaper, a silver faux bamboo mirror, and a white pagoda candle holder add Chinoiserie touches to this beautiful blue and white bathroom.

The Chinoiserie Dining Room

At first blush, this room does not seem to be heavy on the Chinoiserie, but a closer look reveals bamboo Chinese Chippendale chairs, a gilded pagoda mirror, and a pagoda lantern. A lovely dining room.

Chinoiserie Christmas

I just snagged a pair of these pagoda candle holders in this yummy mint color for 50% off at the florist in my shopping center. Deciding where to use them for the holidays. I have the same one in black and in red shown below.

An aqua and coral palette in this lovely tablescape by Ken Gemes for the porch of the 2013 Hampton Designer Showhouse.

I was able to find the bamboo lanterns in bronze, jade, turquoise, and white on sale at Frontgate here. I know that it was available before in this "melon" color because it was a pick of mine on one of my Houzz Ideabooks, but this color must be sold out or discontinued.

Horchow has the dark bamboo flatware on sale for $27.92 for a 20 piece set.

Pagoda Lighting

Antique Gold Faux Bamboo Chandelier - I love its elegance and simplicity 

 Many of you have asked about sources for pagoda lighting. Charlotte and Ivy has very sophisticated choices that are well priced and include free shipping. Here are some favorites of mine. There are ideas here for any room of the house including the entryway, hallway, dining room, breakfast room, and kitchen. I love the idea of a pair of pagoda lanterns over a dining table or kitchen island. A pair is a very modern look. The lamps are wonderful choices for the bedroom, living room, or office.

Pagoda Lantern in Duck Egg Blue - the twisted iron is a great twist on the pagoda and the color is lovely

Mirrored Pagoda Lamp - very Mary McDonald/Hollywood Regency and a fantastic price

Grace Gold Pagoda Pendant Chandelier - a gold pagoda wraps around a white linen shade

Grace Gold Pagoda Large Barrel Chandelier - a white linen barrel shade is enclosed by a gold pagoda

Refined Pagoda Lamp  - I have this glamorous lamp and I adore it - available in many colors including green, hot pink, navy, turquoise - this is a must have!
