Chinoiserie Wallpaper

I have been staring at this stuff all my life, since my grandmother has had it in her dining room since before I was born!! That paired with an octagonal table, chippendale chairs and a wall of mirrored squares makes her the chicest woman in town. Seriously, her dining room stands up to any of the pics below…. I will try to snag some pics the next time I am there.

If only I could afford some of my own!

The Holy grail of glamour.

Holla. 

Layers of glory. 

Black and white chinoiserie. Mmmmm. Don’t know if I like the one wall thing here.

Drooling. 

Imagine this screen in the place of a headboard in an all white room. 

I think my mother in law has these panels framed out in her dining room. 

I tried to channel the feeling of my childhood bedroom in her summer house by using Cole & Son’s hummingbirds in my daughters room…

  1. I loooove that screen. Not sure it would work as a headboard, though. I think you’d lose the interesting variation in the pattern towards the bottom of the panels, as they’d be hidden behind the box spring and mattress. I guess you could mount it on something plain and hidden to raise it up.

  2. I’m about to do a post on chinoiserie myself and came across your site.
    I love that one wall black and white pattern.
    These are amazing!
