Here is the newest member of the wicker menagerie at CCC. I had planned to paint him, but the finish is in such great condition he is staying white. I love leaving original finishes when I can - he is from the 1970s BTW. The term vintage applies to pieces that are over 40 years old.

The wicker elephant stand/table/stool is an iconic chinoiserie piece that is very collectible. Nice vintage ones have gotten harder to find and go for very high prices on places like Chairish and 1stDibs. I really like them spray painted in fun colors and it's so easy to do. A perfect DIY anyone can handle. First, some inspiration.

This is another lovely room in interior designer Shelley Johnstone's Naples, Florida condo - the master bedroom. We previously looked at the dining room. I find it both beautiful and instructive on how to create a chinoiserie bedroom that is classic yet modern. Let's look at some of the elements.
Patterns abound here - I count five that we can see in this shot alone. What makes it work is that the color palette is soft and harmonious and the patterns are largely chinoiserie florals making it feel like a garden.
I see the Rattan book on the side table - I just bought that for myself. Can you make out any other titles on her bedside table? LOL. I love peeking at what books people have. Here it is on my vintage wicker elephant in my foyer.
