Chinoiserie
Designer, Joe Nye who was featured on the blog Chinoiserie Chic had this to say about Chinoiserie:
"It is gorgeous!! It is a timeless decorating motif that has endured years of design in furniture, fabrics, scenic wallpapers. It is still as popular today as it was years and years ago." Enough said.
Go to thrift stores, estate sales, and even Homegoods to get great deals on Chinoiserie. Also check out ebay.
