Every one of the contestants was so original and exited, describing how they would initially use the chinoiserie book cover. I picked Becky from Memphis and Joy from of Amity and Allure because I love their ideas on how they would use it. Below is what they wrote.
I had to think a lot about this one but here goes:
I would actually use the print (if I could) as upholstery on antique french dining chairs around a distressed shabby chic dining room table, or I would use pieces of the wallpaper, framed in cute frames as a wall display in another room possibly. But then I would use the colors as a color scheme for the whole room…. soft cream on the walls, pale turquoise on all the trim and mouldings (usually it’s the other way around but I think this would have more punch) and of course huge pink roses or poppies maybe as a centerpiece for whatever table is in the room…. oooh maybe this pattern as a huge are rug in a little girl’s bedroom (also with the above color scheme!! And sheer white or lacy curtains at the windows are also a must!!!
Good luck to all and congratulations to the winners! 🙂
JoyHi,
I would love to use this wallpaper in a little girl’s room. I would cover the ceiling with it and paint the walls in a light lacquered green. The room would be complete with silk pink taffeta puffy curtains and a white distressed french bed on top of a brown shag rug.
Thank you,
Becky
As you can see these two ladies had great ideas and great style. Congratulations to Joy and Becky.
Joy
Yay!! I’m so excited! Thanks for the beautiful book that I can now cross off my wishlist! 🙂
HUGS!
Joy
ps… I LOVE Becky’s idea about putting the pattern on the ceiling 🙂 It’s funny that we had some of the same ideas.
mmm… pink taffeta. Doesn’t get much better than that, does it?
