Wicker Tote High/Low

Pamela Munson The Gardner Tote

 

I saw this chic tote and really like it. It has a wicker base and cotton canvas upper and it measures 12" by 12.5" by 5.5" and it's designed "for your next sunny getaway, days at the pool, boat rides, and dining al fresco."

Preppy Chinoiserie Poolside

One Kings Lane

Chinese Chippendale rattan, leopard pillows, and a palette of blue and white with pops of hot pink create a very chic poolside retreat.

More Blue and White Chinoiserie Outdoors

These Chiang Mai umbrellas from Z Gallerie are on sale ($49.89) just in time for summer for your patio or pool. In indigo blue or white, they are made of oilcloth with bamboo poles and interiors. They even come with sleeves for storage. I am doing my patio in blue and white, so I am trying to decide on the color.

I'm A Giant Challenge - The Rooftop Pool and Garden

We are now half of the way through the rooms in my house. We have toured -

The Hollywood Regency Dressing Room
The Black and Gold Lacquered Kitchen
The Singerie Entryway
The Pink Chinoiserie Bedroom

I thought we would venture outside now to my rooftop garden. This is my little getaway with a heated swimming pool, cabana, and garden. It is a perfect spot to read the morning paper with a cup of tea, to entertain, or to take a dip after a long day. Let me show you around -

A Chinese Chippendale bridge
A pair of blue and white Chinese pagodas
A pair of red foo dogs
A pair of silver leafed and gold leafed peacocks
A vintage bar cart with silver tea service
Trees
A pair of blue and white Chinese garden stools
A cabana with Suzanne Tucker Peacock Toile fabric in Cerulean
A towel monogrammed with CC - Chinoiserie Chic of course!
A lucite bench
Chinese statuary
A swimming pool

Hope you enjoyed the tour. I am off to finish my cup of tea and then take a quick dip in the pool.
