wallpaper designs

My four year blogiversary is this coming Saturday. This week I will be creating a new fantasy inspiration board each day, with the announcement of my giveaway on Friday.

Today I have created a really chic and glamorous unisex nursery. The wallpaper is Scalamandre Zebras in a beautiful purple, great for either a boy or a girl. The crib is the first ever entirely acrylic crib available at The Well Appointed House as is the Dorothy Draper style changing table and dresser. The dragon lamp is Jonathan Adler. The chandelier is by Marjorie Skouras. The Crate and Barrel Tess chair is in a deep purple called grape. A large abstract by artist Kerry Steele is the perfect finishing touch. I love the idea of original art in the nursery. This room can easily become a guest bedroom or an office down the road it is so ultra sophisticated.

If you missed yesterday's post, below is my fantasy dining room and my virtual makeover of the backyard at the Chinese Village House.



Have you seen that twenty interior designers including Mary McDonald decorated dollhouses for a charitable event? Here are her three rooms via A Lovely Being. You can see all the dollhouses here.





For those of you new to Chinoiserie Chic who missed my Chinoiserie Chic I'm a Giant Challenge Dollhouse and my Dragon Dollhouse, here are the links to my reveals - click on the captions for the links. I created two Chinoiserie dollhouses and twelve rooms all filled with Chinoiserie!

The Dragon Dollhouse

This coming Saturday, May 4, 2013 is my four year blog anniversary - with well over 2,000 posts. I plan to celebrate with a whole week of inspiration boards for each room of my fantasy Chinoiserie Chic house and the announcement of my blogiversary giveaway on Friday that you will not want to miss.

The Chinoiserie wallpaper is by Griffin & Wong "Song Sassoon" in a beautiful blue. The large circular table is silver leaf by James Mont circa 1940s. Six Frances Elkins loop chairs will surround the table. They are lacquered in white with gray leather seats. The faux malachite painted console table has gilded edges. For some fun, the console table will have a pair of Jonathan Adler Georgia breast lamps -  check it out here. A Marjorie Skouras chandelier is a wonderful focal point. A pair of antique Famille Rose Chinese garden stools will be tucked next to the dining table. My go to curtains, interlined silk taffeta, here in my favorite coral pink, will hang at the windows.

Now pop over to The Glam Pad to see my virtual makeover of the backyard of the Chinese Village House for inspiration on bringing Chinoiserie outdoors.

Visiting Brooklyn during BlogtourNYC was one of the highlights of my week in New York. I just loved the atmosphere and still regret I did not stay longer and see some more... on the other hand NYC is not that far and I am sure I will be back one day! I found some last pictures that I wanted to share I made walking towards one of the workplaces we visited.

I spotted this guy and his dogs turning into the street and waited till he passed to make a picture of him... I stayed pretty much behind the group in Brooklyn as I kept seeing things I liked and wanted to make pictures of. Here's a little impression of Brooklyn - Dumbo.

Workplace of Eric Manigian - clean minimalist design

Thinking of Brookly I also thought about this concrete Musical Platform I saw. I never showed the pictures because I was planning a top 3 of the AD Home Design show. But I was really impressed, and in love by it. It's designed by Brooklyn based company In Sek Design. An Industrial Design/Build company started by Ashira Israel. Used materials:Concrete, Resin, Steel, Walnut Veneer, Ebony
