Chinoiserie
Ann Getty does not just photograph cute babies you know! She is also responsible for beautiful eclectic spaces like this. And what a style combination! Chinoiserie perfection in the red secretary and chair combined with a bit of French style seen in the pink and white toile curtains. Then an element of nature is introduced with the branch shaped curtain rods and seagrass rug.
Amazing small one bedder in the East Village with fantastic design by David Kaihoi. A large atmosphere is created in this small apartment with the use of bold colors and multipurpose furniture. Featured in House Beautiful.
Gorgeous blue and white chinoiserie filled dining room in the garage of Sally Swing’s Berkley Cottage featured in House Beautiful. I love this type of ambience, this type of kookiness mixed with vintage finds and loads of personality.
Blue and white chinoiserie, gifts from friends mixed with flea-market finds, defines the look Sally Swing envisioned. Like everything else, the dining tables and chairs — from her mother — got a wash of white enamel. Only the buffet was left unpainted to add visual weight to the room.
The one-car garage turned dining room opens onto a fenced courtyard. A stone path leads to the main house.
“Medium old” antique plates printed with a Blue Willow pattern are all part of the mix of dinnerware Sally displays with her linens in a glass-doored cabinet, which was made for a beloved uncle in China. He also purchased the 1940s blue stemware — at Woolworth’s in downtown San Francisco.
A dragonfly-patterned teacup is combined with vintage Ralph Lauren salad plates, a Danish stoneware dinner plate, and flea-market Chinese flatware.
China, the cat, sits on a painted chair covered in Ming fabric from Manuel Canovas. Mirrors bring in the light.
I am Pandora. A lover of interior design, decorating, homes, gardens and all things stylish!
I have been studying interior design as a side project for a few years on and off and decided to make this blog where I jot down my ideas and inspirations in the hopes that they will help or inspire others.
I am particularly in love with devising new color schemes an will try to add some of that here too.
This home and decorating site is a work in progress for me so come back often to see new ideas!
