The Chinoiserie Mahjong Table

Oh My Mahjong

 I found this picture by Oh My Mahjong of a very pretty setup for playing mahjong with Chinese Chippendale chairs and the background of blue and white chinoiserie wallpaper. I have a similar table and chairs in my breakfast room at CCC.

My Orange & Black Guest Bath

CCC

 

CCC has a wing of the house with a vestibule, a guest bedroom, and a guest bath. It is very private for house guests with a pocket door closing it all off.

The guest bath is a full bath with a walk in shower with no steps or door. This was the room when I moved in.

Orange & Blue Chinoiserie for Autumn

CCC Alexandria

This vignette is from the dining room in my former home in Alexandria, Virginia. It was wonderful in the autumn especially with its orange chinoiserie toile wallpaper. The wallpaper is Clarence House Chinoiserie Baroque. I miss it, but luckily I had enough left over to wallpaper my powder room here in Florida.

The Chinoiserie Dining Room

Grace Kaynor Interiors - Southern Living

This pretty New Orleans dining room has me perplexed. I love the antique marble mantel, gilded mirror, pagoda pelmet, crystal chandelier, antiques, and the gold Chinese Chippendale chairs. It is painted in Benjamin Moore Beach Glass - a grayed blue green. The color works well in beach houses. I love New Orleans style - lots of high ceilings, crystal chandeliers, antique mantels, aged wood floors, and antiques. 

The Chinoiserie Bathroom

Gen Sohr - Frederic Magazine

There is really no room in the house that a blue and white Chinese garden stool does not work. Although in many places a garden stool is used primarily to be decorative, in the bathroom or powder room it can be highly functional.

The Wallpapered Ceiling

Kips Bay Palm Beach opened this past week. Last week I posted on several rooms, including the blue and white master bedroom by Phoebe Howard.

Blue & White & Coral

Thibaut Maldives

 

Coral wallpaper - Thibaut's Maldives is a perfect backdrop for the blue painted faux bamboo chest and collection of blue and white porcelain.

The Chinoiserie Basket & More

Havenview Printed Basket

 

I love a great basket and this is one of the prettiest I have seen. Use it in a bedroom for throw blankets or pillows, a bathroom or powder room for toilet paper, a nursery for stuffed animals - so many possibilities.  This reminds me so much of de Gournay or Gracie wallpaper designs.

Figs

de Gournay

This gorgeous wallcovering by de Gournay features a fig tree in a blue and white cachepot. I love figs and have a favorite recipe with figs to share that is great for entertaining. It is wonderful with Champagne. 

The Blue and White Chinoiserie Powder Room

CBi Studio

This wonderful powder room features Lee Jofa's adaptation of Blue Willow china called Willow Lake. The classic chinoiserie Blue Willow pattern is 300 years old and depicts the tale of two thwarted lovers.

Blue and White

Jennifer Muirhead Interiors

 

This lovely blue and white vignette features one of my favorite wallpapers - Brunschwig & Fils' Bird and Thistle. This classic iconic wallpaper works well in virtually any room of the house. It is available in lots of colorways. This one is Aqua.

The Chinoiserie Powder Room

Sarah Vaile Design

 

This is such a pretty example of a beautifully done powder room. The showstopper is the vintage gold chinoiserie mirror.

Chinoiserie Chic DIY Wallpaper Restocked

Harrison Howard Before the Raj

 

A couple of weeks ago I posted on Harrison Howard's peel and stick wallpaper at a fantastic price and everyone loved them. See the post here. Folks had great ideas on where to use the wallpaper - a folding room screen, decoupage, a camper, a beach house powder room. So many possibilities....

This wonderful bathroom features one of my favorite chinoiserie wallpapers of all time - Quadrille's Lyford Trellis. It is available in lots of colorways - here in one of their mylars. This design is a classic.

Bird and Thistle

Amie Corley Interiors

 

This charming breakfast room features a favorite wallpaper of mine, Brunschwig & Fils Bird and Thistle. This classic yet contemporary pattern is available in many colorways and works in virtually any room of the house. It's a wallpaper that pairs beautifully with chinoiserie, as you will see. It is also available in a cotton fabric covering the cushions and pillows above.

The Chinoiserie Entryway

Brunschwig & Fils

 

I love a beautiful foyer and this is a lovely example. The color palette is a bit unexpected with a sophisticated palette of aqua, teal and canary. The wallpaper and fabric are from Brunshwig & Fils' new Manoir Collection.
