Hillary Thomas


How do take your Chinoiserie? If you love pink, turquoise, fresh, modern, eclectic, young, and fun, check out this stunning portfolio of California interior designer Hillary Thomas. One of her guiding design principles is the Japanese design concept of "wabi sabi" or finding beauty in the imperfect. Her mix of flea market finds with fine antiques brings an aesthetic that is refreshing, unexpected, and unique.

Chinoiserie at Canadian House & Home


I'll bet you, like me, are increasingly concerned over your dwindling list of shelter magazine subscriptions. A great one to consider, especially after watching all things Canadian the last couple weeks at the Olympics, is Canadian House & Home. All these beautiful Chinoiserie rooms are courtesy of this magazine. Click here for information on digital and print subscriptions for U.S. subscribers. It's a wonderful magazine and has become a favorite of mine.
