My pink pagoda Powder Room

I found the perfect print for my powder room. Well, actuall, I worked with The Pink Pagoda to create the perfect print! I have been a fan of these prints for quite some time. You may have seen the prints on Chinoiserie Chic. It is the perfect pop of color that the room needed.





Here is how it started....I e-mailed Jennifer, the designer of The Pink Pagoda prints, this picture of my powder room. Knowing that the Ming Ginger Jar series was what I wanted, I just needed to confirm with her that coral was a good color for my room......WELL, I found someone equally crazy over the details as myself.



Since it is impossible to rely on a computer screen for color, we quickly realized that we both had the same Benjamin Moore fan decks...all through e-mail



I color matched chips to my exsisting artwork and Jennifer custom matched colors for the Ginger Jar....then, this arrived!



How beautiful is that?

I especially love how the colors are not exactly the same as my exsisting prints, but rather compliment them so well



This print is so special, it required a custom frame. Please come back tomorrow to see a step-by-step on how I made this Mary Mcdonald inspired high gloss frame.
