Hello there. I, as many of you know who have been following me along, know that I have been wanting, dreaming and planning to put chinoiserie panels up on my dining room walls. Its been quite a saga and is most definitely a process. First it starts with coming up with a palette then you wait for a “strikeoff” or sample (can take up to 4-5 weeks) for each sample.Having a surplus of patience really helps here!<\/p>\n

So months can slip by just? getting samples back and forth. Then there’s a hiccup and you meet an artist whose works really captivates you then you start thinking maybe a mural is the way to go. That way the artist on sight can tweak things on premise right before your very eyes! Yes, there are advantages either way and no matter how you slice it, either one is a magnificent way to add something very special to any room!<\/p>\n

So this happened to me, and I have been in limbo deciding between the two. I am waiting on a final sample of the chinoiserie but 99% that is the route I am going, it was my hunch all along and I just know it will be gorgeous.? I really really would love to have this by June when my son graduates (and we are possibly throwing him a party) which would be our first real party in this house (not including family parties).<\/p>\n

I am however confident that whatever I do its going to be amazing and will add so much to the dining room. I can hardly wait. Once completed I will only have the drapes to consider and for that I am doing simple billowy light silk neutral Dupioni drapes with a gorgeous trim to pick up the blues and creams. Simple and elegant.<\/p>\n

So today’s post is all about ways to dress up the walls with chionoiserie, murals and? wallpaper. Do you have a favorite? Perhaps have one in your own home? Feel free to weigh in, always love to hear from you! So lets take a look at all the pretty ways to dress up the walls…….<\/p>\n
