I did not write a blog posting yesterday because honestly, I
had nothing nice to say. Not that that has stopped me before but yesterday was
exceptional. Sorry but it’s unrealistic to be expected to be happy every day,
right? So today, to get my mind off my grumpiness I thought it would be a good
idea to focus on something more positive… Like chinoiserie. Maybe some lovely deGournay
chinoiserie wallpaper will get my mind off of my friends who are fat fucks.
Maybe a charming little chinoiserie garden stool will get my mind off the fact
that most of my family needs to be institutionalized. Maybe an antique
chinoiserie armoire will get my mind off the fact that my caregivers are in the
wrong line of work. So, let’s see, let’s look at beautiful inspiring
chinoiserie and see if my mood changes…
What is chinoiserie you ask? According to Wikipedia, “Chinoiserie
(pronounced [ʃinwazʁi], French for "Chinese-esque") is a recurring
theme in European artistic styles since the seventeenth century, which reflect
Chinese artistic influences. It is characterized by the use of fanciful imagery
of an imaginary China, by asymmetry in format and whimsical contrasts of scale,
and by the attempts to imitate Chinese porcelain and the use of lacquerlike materials
and decoration.
"Chinoiserie in a broader scope refers to a mixture of
Eastern and Western stylistic elements for both the decoration and shape. The
style held particular favour during the Rococo period and the court of Louis
XV, with which its fanciful, ornate and idyllic imagery is commonly associated.”
I have been following a certain blog for a while now. It is
called Chinoiserie Chic. It is fabulous. The woman who writes the blog, Beth Connolly, is an absolute expert in chinoiserie. Definitely worth looking at if
you are a fan of chinoiserie… And if you are not a fan of chinoiserie, well,
you should be.
There are a lot of books on chinoiserie but the following
are my absolute favorites…
All of the books are available in my curated Have Some Decorum Bookstore!
Mood check… Improving.
A tout á l’heure!
Gorgeous. Love that Chinoiserie blog as well. Hope your mood improved :)
ReplyDeleteThe yellow couch with the purple polka dotted pillows. Divine.
ReplyDeleteAlso love those garden stools but they are too much for my damn pittance of a teacher's salary. Ugh. My husband would choke if I spent $300 on a stool. But I've always wanted one. Black particularly.
Hope your day is better...:)
Thank you for your honesty, I hope your friends and family wake up/shape up.
ReplyDeleteI stumbled upon Chinoiserie Chic some time ago, went mad through the archives then forgot all about it. Thanks for the reminder.

ReplyDeletepeople for this subject, but you sound like you know what you're talking about!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and
ReplyDeletewas curious what all is needed to get setup? I'm assuming having
