Inspiration Board - My Office Makeover

Here is my inspiration board for my little home office makeover I have just started on. The painter comes tomorrow to paint. The walls will be Benjamin Moore Poppy - I decided my previous two red paint candidates were too brown with this fabric. The window treatment will be Charlotte Moss Caroline in Currant.

My Chinese Chippendale mahogany fretwork desk will get jazzed up with a beautiful blue and white Chinese porcelain lamp and some chic accessories. I have some great art for the room including a huge Inigo Jones that I love. My big score of the weekend was this fantastic dog bed in Scalamandre Zebras because Izzy likes to hang out with me in my office.

A black leather mid century modern bench will be a great spot for not only extra seating but magazines and files. A red lacquer Victoria ghost chair is for extra seating. I have a DIY makeover planned for my desk chair that is still in the planning.

Two projects will be styling the wall of built-in bookshelves and perhaps creating a gallery wall above the bench.

If you have been following along with my virtual makeover of a fantastic Chinoiserie historic property in Coral Gables, Florida over at The Glam Pad, you'll want to pop over today and see what I have envisioned for the kitchen.

Love these colors!

A Chinoiserie Christmas - Tory Burch's Dining Room

Tory Burch's red lacquered dining room is certainly a perfect setting for the holidays. I much prefer the chairs slipcovered above in purple velvet banded in red - much more fun than the striped upholstery. Purple and red are a great combination - very underutilized.

Everyone loved this Tory Burch table below all ready for the holidays. Here is another look into the same fabulous orange lacquered library with more great ideas for holiday decorating. Note how great a deep coral red goes with orange.

A Chinoiserie Christmas - DIY Centerpiece

Oscar de la Renta

For a fantastic holiday centerpiece, collect knobby branches and spray paint them red - matte for a more subtle look, gloss for more glitzy. Arrange them in a large blue and white ginger jar sans lid or a large blue and white Chinese bowl. A fabulous faux coral look for about $5.00 for a can of paint.
