New in the Shop- Antique Chinese Rice Barrel

Happy Veterans Day, everyone. I made another couple of awesome scores over my long weekend. The most interesting piece I found was an antique Chinese rice barrel. This piece dates from the 19th century and (despite some condition issues) remains a really stunning work of art in terms of the carving and the painting.
It makes those ceramic garden stools pale in comparison, I think.

Gilded Emerald Living Room

All of my friends laugh at me because I am constantly rearranging and switching out furniture and rugs in my house. Hence, I decided to try a little experiment on Polyvore to try and design a living room that I would never rearrange. My recipe? A touch of Chinoiserie, a dash of emerald, a pinch of Paris, and a hint of brass. Voila! I give you my perfect living room...
