Blogger Beth Connolly Rounds Up a Selection of Chinoiserie Pieces from Around the Web
Starting today we're inviting some of our favorite bloggers to share the home product picks from around the web that are inspiring them now. We'll kick off the new feature with Beth Connolly from Chinoiserie Chic and Style Redux. Take it away, Beth!
Some of you may know me from my blog Chinoiserie Chic, where I explore my passion for all things Chinoiserie. Chinoiserie refers to Chinese artistic influence popular since the 17th century. My term Chinoiserie Chic reflects the modern approach to Chinoiserie, used by interior designers like Mary McDonald, Miles Redd, Meg Braff, and many others. Each month here at Houzz, I will share with you my top finds. These are my favorite Chinoiserie Chic products for June. Chinoiserie goes beautifully in any style home. In fact, there is no room that will not look better with a touch of Chinoiserie, adding instant style and sophistication.

A stunning mirror — Chinese elm made to resemble bamboo, in the most luscious aqua blue. I would love it in a beach house, a child's room, a foyer or a bedroom. So summery.
