You are placing this image without a single comment, Beth. Do you want us to weigh in on this look? Okay, I'll bite. Decorating with strong complementary colors is extremely tricky when you use them both in equal doses (that is, not using one strictly as an accent color). I'll leave it at that.
Ellen - While it is a bit strong for my taste, it is a popular look in modern Chinoiserie and has been pinned dozens of times since I posted it last night.
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.

Yes! Go bold or go home is my motto. How well I know strong color is a controversial subject; I happen to love it & live it.
