Scott Laslie, dining room

I love how Scott Laslie
combined many different elements together, such as the Asian armoires,
Lucite and glass table, modern painting, Murano chandelier with those
one of a kind bamboo chairs.   I could live in any one of Scott’s interiors
happily and comfortably.  Enjoy!

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.

 

This is a shot of a delicious paella my father-in-law made for us yesterday. We enjoyed it with the family and built more precious moments around it to remember.

I wish you a very happy and relaxed Easter in the presence of family and friends. I’ll see you back here on Monday when I’m going to reveal the two lucky winners of Domino book giveaway.

Bohemian life encompasses comfort, youth, beauty, free spirit.  When I
think of a bohemian lifestyle, I think of Chloe flowy dresses, pillows,
soft rugs, and sheer curtains.  The boho-chic style is one that speaks to the girl who appreciates comfort, country living, and meaningful company.  It’s an effortlessly romantic way of living where everything calls for a going back to basics without sacrificing style.  A very Brigitte Bardot kind of style.
