Several of you caught a peek of this area in my laundry room in my post on Wednesday and asked about it. I bought this mirrored fretwork table several years ago at JCPenney - here is the post. When I was at Target a few weeks ago, I saw these Nate Berkus pineapples that I had already purchased a pair of on clearance for $7.00 each. I already have one in white on my bar cart and one in navy on my desk. I thought they would make a cute display and provide organization for small items like clothespins or sewing supplies.

I saw this on Pinterest - paper cocktail napkins framed and displayed at a Lily Pulitzer store. Wouldn't it be a darling DIY to frame Chinoiserie cloth cocktail napkins in cheap frames like Ikea's Ribba to use in a breakfast room, hallway, nursery, powder room, or wherever a small set of pictures is needed? These in the bottom photo are iomoi. Sort of a mini version of framing scarves.

I have posted several times recently on pineapples as a hot new trend and boy, are they everywhere this summer? I love the look - very Hollywood Regency/Palm Beach Chic. I have included here great new inspiration on using pineapple decor and four hot finds as well, including amazing new giclees from The Pink Pagoda. My Pinterest board here has lots more inspiration - trust me, these are not your Colonial Williamsburg pineapple motifs. These are very chic.

HOT TIP - these vintage brass pineapples are getting snapped up on eBay, Etsy, etc. and are very collectible

HOT FIND - on sale today and tomorrow for $180.00 at Horchow - I love the lucite base and neon yellow

HOT FIND - I love this - a new pineapple giclee from The Pink Pagoda in navy

I popped into HomeGoods yesterday and found this pineapple garden stool - I love it! Check out my Pinterest board devoted to the hot pineapple trend in interior design and fashion here.

This chic little summer vignette with bar cart, pineapple glasses, pineapple rug, and two pendant lamps are all from Ikea and all add up to under $130.00! For more budget friendly ideas from Ikea, check out my earlier post today.

Last week I posted about a new trend I love - pineapples - they are popping up everywhere in hot colors and modern designs. Jennifer at the Pink Pagoda has created some gorgeous pineapple prints in great colors - I can't wait to find a spot in my home for these.

I have created an inspiration board with lots of color (hot pink, turquoise, yellow, navy blue and lime green) incorporating one of her pineapple giclees - very Palm Beach Chic. And all of The Pink Pagoda's prints are on sale this week - 20% off with code SITELAUNCHSALE20OFF through Friday, May 24th. Minimum purchase of $35.00 and does not apply to custom orders or requests.

I love these color combinations. Check out my Pinterest board on Pineapples, on Pink and Blue Chinoiserie, and on Pink and Red and follow me on Pinterest here.

Kate - "I wanted to create an inspiration board for a living room that featured these gorgeous chairs in Mandarin Dragons from Design Legacy. I used some of the colors from the fabric—pink, orange, and green. The room has a very Palm Beach feel to it. The green pineapple lamps by Jean Roger are from 1stDibs. The persimmon Martini side tables are from West Elm. The Rouge coffee table is from CB2. The Greek Key rug is from Jonathan Adler. The painting is by Kerry Steele. You can follow me on Pinterest here."

 The winner of the gorgeous chevron blanket from Charlotte & Ivy is Teresa from Splendid Sass. Congratulations! Please email me.

My daughter Kate instagrammed me this photo last night of her new pineapple above and I decided it would make a great post - the hot new trend of pineapples in decor. These pineapples are not the Early American/Willliamsburg version with brass trivets and welcome mats. These pineapples are bold, modern, graphic, colorful, and fun. They combine beautifully with Chinoiserie and create a Hollywood Regency vibe. I have a Pinterest board with lots of great examples here.
