Chinoiserie Chic

In the words of Rachel Zoe, "I Die" for anything Chinoiserie..."Literally, DIE." Unfortunately, since I live with a man, I'm unable to adorn our house with everything Chinoiserie, so I settle for a few pieces here and there. I happened to pick up the latest issue of House Beautiful yesterday, and the first thing that caught my eye was the gorgeous white lacquer coffee table pictured on the cover.


Well, as fate would have it, I was browsing through my local ReStore today, when I came across this little gem.




Only $20.00, because it was missing its glass top. Obviously, I purchased it with no hesitation, complete with a little pep in my step. Since I'm not a fan of blonde wood (ironic, huh?), I would normally stain this piece a dark walnut hue. However, I'm making an exception just this once. I will be painting this a white lacquer finish, since I was so inspired by the following pictures...
