Zebras - Fourth of July Tablescape and My New Houzz Ideabook

This is one of my favorite tablescapes ever, from the January/February 2013 Lonny. With its red, white, and blue color scheme, I think it would be great for a non-traditionally traditional Fourth of July table. The focal point is the tablecloth in Brunschwig & Fils Gillian S Zebras. This fabric features blue and white Chinese porcelain, flowers, and zebra figurines on a red background. Red, white, and blue and stripes!

Speaking of zebras, my new Houzz Ideabook for July is on zebra wallpaper. Check it out here. It is filled with inspiration boards of mine with Scalamandre Zebras as well as other ideas for zebra walls.

Red, White & Blue Chinoiserie - The Foyer and an Inspiration Board

In honor of the upcoming 4th of July, I thought it would be fun to focus this week on decorating with red, white, and blue with Chinoiserie, of course. This color scheme need not be country or kitschy. When combined with Chinoiserie, it is quite sophisticated and is a natural with Chinoiserie - think blue and white Chinese porcelain, blue and white Chinoiserie toile fabrics and wallpaper, navy blue, Chinese red, coral red, and glossy white lacquered furniture.
