(He does some wonderful Chinoiserie patterns!) I've always loved those blue and white Chinese jars so it got me thinking. I wonder if I can make this room feel like one of those jars without there actually being any Chinoiserie in the room. It's a challenge.<br /><br />I like what you've done with the dining room. I think a little Asian goes a long way so I like that the candlesticks aren't so literal and I like that they bring in some green. And the RL book...how can you go wrong? <br /><br />steveAn Urban Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08666212353075804092noreply@blogger.com
