If I had all the money in the world I would cover my walls in hand-painted wallpaper by
de Gournay. I especially love their Chinoiserie styles:





Seeing as I don't have all the money in the world and am in a rental, de Gournay Chinoiserie paper is out of the question for me. After searching online for a few minutes I found that I could easily get my Chinoiserie fix with some reasonably priced dresses.

Pretty! Reminds me of an Anthropologie catalog.
I love it all. The yellow wallpaper seems a little Bloomsbury to me. Have you thought about using either stencils or free hand painting with white paint on a darker toned wall? Or, buying one of the lovely dresses you found and standing up against the wall when people come over?
I love it. I would only be able to pull it off in my own room. I don't think my fiance would appreciate it. I may have to buy one of those dresses though...
i love that dress from yesstyle. which, i had actually never heard of before and now have a new shopping spot.
Sally Jane, you're right, it is very Anthropologie-esque.
Jacquelyn Clare, brilliant idea! I like the idea of standing up against the wall to give my apartment the appearance of Chinoiserie.
June Shin, yep Chinoiserie is not guy friendly - I'm not sure if that would stop me ;).
Juliam, I think I first heard of YesStyle from a fellow style blogger. I love finding new places to shop online!
Gorgeous!!! Wallpapers and dresses, but especially the wallpapers. Once again, I'm trying not to whimper.
Wooooooow. Never have I ever found patterned walls so...enticing!
Oh, and Catherine -- in my case "nice-n-hot" means a preheated 400 degree oven. Hott!
Pretty walls! I'd love to have something like that, but I don't think my hubby would ever speak to me again.
I love the Tulle dress. But primarily because it would cover up any hippage. :)
I would too!
Mare, I'm with you on that!
Nate, it's like totally hot! Love your new foodie blog.
Stephanie, sounds like you're in the same boat with June Shin.
Wendy, I didn't think I'd be the only one :) !
