chinoiserie
Chinoiserie (a French term) was used during the 17th Century to reflect Chinese artistic influences. Chinoiserie’s use of fanciful imagery of an imaginary China to depict what peasant life might have been like. From the Renaissance to the 18th Century, Western designers have attempted to imitate the look of Chinese porcelain and the use of lacquer like materials and decoration onto furniture.
a true bathroom sanctuary
Every time we’ve been able to stay at a Ritz Carlton, I have always loved the bathrooms. They make me feel so elegant. I always said when we built our next house, that I wanted to have a glamorous bathroom like the Ritz. I started by doing venetian plaster on the walls, just in pure white. I used Carrera marble on all the floors and counter tops.
