Saturday Inspiration

What can I say? I adore this. The attention to detail is amazing. I love the striped balloon shades with their arched tops and coral trim, the damask wallpaper, the gilded crown molding, and the incredible blanc de Chine man. Perfection! It's a shame that balloon shades are so little seen today in the United States. I think that if they are done well, they are lovely. Unfortunately, most are executed so poorly that it has turned people off to this style.

I bought this blue and white Chinese porcelain Brunschwig & Fils tapestry sample on Etsy for $10.00. The edges were already bound. I used two tacks and hung it on my kitchen door - a 1 minute Chinoiserie window treatment!
