Asian Invasion

In an earlier post, I hinted at an obsession I have for Chinoiserie (Orient-inspired furniture and accessories). I'm not sure if it's a full-blown obsession really, maybe just an extreme fondness. You be the judge.
 

I realize this is too much Chinoiserie in one place. I didn't mean for this to happen. 

It was an accident really. The vintage lamp is from eBay and was $60!! 
And the bottom lights up . . .

how cool is that?

 I love my eBay emperor.

My chandelier is from CircaWho. Great resource for Chinese Chippendale or 

West Palm Beach fabulosity.  Just email Tracy there for prices/shipping.

 Asian garden seat. I had been searching for one of these forever when I finally found it at a local antique mall where someone else had it on hold. But my luck and patience prevailed. I adore the color.

Scored these ginger jars from HomeGoods for $19.99 each. I say jars because you know I had to get two as I'm also obsessed with pairs.

And, of course, you remember my foo dogs (also from eBay).

Oh, who am I kidding? My house is starting to look like Chou Imports. The first step to getting help is admitting you have a problem.


I even drive my Acura while listening to this song incessantly . . . what is wrong with me?

Considering my abundance of Far East inspired treasures, you'd think my interest might be waning or that I would be sick of this style. You'd be wrong. 


Things I still long for . . . 
Chinese Chippendale style chairs. These have been on my list forever. Preferably in a bright colored lacquer finish. So pretty.

And something covered in Chiang Mai fabric from Schumacher. This fabric has been around a while, and some may think it's a trend who's time has come and gone, but I still love it.

What do you think? Do I need an Asian intervention?
