The brick wall proves that chinoiserie can go perfectly anywhere!!! I'm mad about the white on brown fabric on that chair. With a more modern lines to it, that my mother might like. Now I'll just have to find it. A killer cornucopia of images. Gratitudes!!!!
Averill-I have an upcoming post on Chinoiserie dining rooms including this one. I love the colors and the use of black and white. I like painting doors black-if the doors are not gorgeous, they look so much better in black! It takes some people convincing, but once they do it, they always love it!
I grew up in Europe and Lake Forest, Illinois. After graduating from The Ferry Hall School, Bryn Mawr College, and George Washington University Law School, I practiced law in Washington, D.C. Now I am finally devoting my time to two of my great passions - interior design and Chinoiserie.
Please visit me at my other blog Style Redux-a blog about great style in fashion, interior design, and a bit of everything else. It may be vintage or new, budget or designer. It's all about living a life of style.

A feast for the eyes. I especially love the lamp with the shade "hat" - charming!

SF-I will be doing an entire post on the amazing Billy Haines.
Kitty-If you are referring to the black and white photo, that dining room is by Billy Haines, and it is wonderful.
Alicia-The fabric looks to be Quadrille Lyford.
Simply gorgeous. I absolutely adore Liz Lange's dining room featured in the last photo.
