A lovely last minute gift for the Chinoiserie lover on your list would be Carolyne Roehm's new book A Passion for Interiors. Shown below are some of my favorite rooms of hers showing her wonderful use of Chinoiserie.
this book is so tempting. i have a few gift cetificates that i rec'd for xmas. i went looking....but couldn't make my tiny mind up. i will go again to check the books out.
