Chinoiserie: The hottest vintage decorating trend in 2023 | Vintage Thrift Home Decor & Thrift Haul

I Love all your Videos & I always wait for the next one you give us 🥰 Thanks for all the help & great tips.

I love that style. I want that style for my master bedroom. I love the cobalt blue and white.

I'm a reseller from Germany and always find it interesting what's trending elsewhere. I yet have to see the Chinoiserie in Germany, I saw it in the UK, in Belgium and the Netherlands so far.
A style the goes in to a similar look, even if not so refined and mostly blue and white is Delft vases, candleholders, urns. I'm waiting for those to become trending again.
Love your channel, I'm learning a lot!
😀😀😀

I love this style so much. I am really enjoying your channel. ❤

I'm in NWA, too! When I saw your video at the Junk Ranch, I wondered if you were close by. My friend sets up a booth there every year. ❤❤❤

Heck, if I want this look, all I have to do is go to my mom. Pieces my grandfather picked up overseas or ones she bought at thrift stores back when thrifting wasn’t cool.

Following the advice on this video, we acquired some of these pieces and put them out in our booth. So far they are all still sitting like a boat anchor! There has been zero interest in this stuff so far.

Blue and white pieces are timeless. I have a traditional style home with many
blue and white pieces collected since the 1970 ‘s. Some very old mixed with some twenty year old pieces

Oh my gosh Melanie! I have the same brass duck bookends! Do have any info on them? Thank you! Love you channel!

I have a couple of those urns...they are vintage...given to me a few years ago by a neighbor at the time in her late 90s. She has since passed away. One of the urns has brass trim around the lid rim. I'm not a seller, just a collector and shop for friends. As to reproductions, that does not bother me, as long as the quality is there, and besides, they will be old someday! Pieces made in the 50s are now 70-plus years old! Thank you for your informative video on these items!

Incredible timing! I just took in a collection of Asian style blue and white pottery. There are some old pieces mixed with newer Pier 1 pieces. It was very helpful to learn the difference between temple jars and ginger jars. Thank you!

This is super helpful! Please continue to make trend videos!

I put some in my booth this past week I’m hoping they will sell because I love them!! I think they are beautiful 😍

Thank you for this! I've been out of the loop for the last couple of years so I have no idea what is trendy anymore, as the trends change so fast🤦🏻‍♀️ I would love more videos of current trends!😃
Opening up my antique booth space at the beginning of May & I'm excited! New sub here☺️🙏

Wouldn't recommend buying the gingers jars/blue&white at tj maxx or home goods. You can tell they are cheap and not handpainted. You can always find them affordably at thrift stores or estate sales. I have to disagree with the blue and white. The price has gone down so please dont spend much on them. Grandmillennial was my style before I even found out the name. Dont like how its trendy.

It’s funny to me to see videos like this. I have been in love and collecting blue and white chinoiserie and crystal decor. They were called chinoiserie, hampton style and now grand millennial. Trends come and go. But this in my opinion is the most versatile style. It can bring a pop of color in minimalism.

As someone married to a Chinese man, the pieces are way more interesting than you think.
That jar you first held up has a symbol called the shuang xi, or double happiness. That is a symbol for married people, because when you marry you double your happiness.

The marks on the bottom often come in the form of what’s called a chop seal, which is that red box with the characters of the maker or artist inside.

I also speak French so I need to correct your pronunciation of Chinoiserie. The way you’re saying the “s” would indicate there are two in the word, “chinoisserie.” That’s not correct. It’s pronounced correctly closer to the letter “z.”

In addition, there’s new Famille Rose being produce at Williams Sonoma if you can’t afford the hundreds that the vintage pieces are priced at.

Do you know about Mackenzie Childs Royal Court? It is beautiful with Chinoiserie! Do you know a book that would help with antique leg styles beyond Queen Anne, Edwardian and Victorian?

Hate to break it to you, but culture isn’t a trend

Lol it’s the white appropriation of culture for me

I'm so glad to find your channel. I am a collector of Blue and White Chinoiserie for many years mostly my items I found from thrift stores and local homegoods. When I see your double Happiness ginger jar I run to homegoods and I found a huge ginger jar with foo dog double happiness pattern. I was really happy to add to my collection. I do a lot of decorating of blue and white in my home specially my tablescape in many different kind of styles and since you are mentioning grand millennial so now I am inspired to decorate with this one in my tablescape and some area of my home as I am doing a blue and White chinoiserie spring Full house Tour. Thank you so much for very informative details of chinoiserie and I love them so much. I want to see more of this chinoiserie and I love thrifting as well. New subbie here.

As my father used to say, that looks like something that if we owned it we should be trying to get rid of it. Sorry.

Chinoiserie might be the 'trend' this year but it is classy and timeless part of traditional decorating.

Beautiful you se Pakistani art

Great informative video!

While this style may be trending, it's been around for so long, it's really timeless. Asian decor really mixes well with many other types of styles and can really go from traditional to trendy depending on how it's styled. Love it!

Great video and tips ❤️

I just bought another one this week!!

Your hair would be super cute if you cut the bottom of your layers off and you had that top part that looks like a layered bob. I’m a hairdresser.

I have had several pieces of Chinoiserie sale in my booth. The most exciting piece was a Geisha ware teacup. When you hold the cup up to the light, you see the Geisha in the cups base. Thanks for the video.

My first time watching love the content, thank you for sharing your knowledge…

You don’t need that wig. Your hair is beautiful.

Yeeeesss! I think you’re right on the money with this one. I’ve been looking for Ginger jars lately (with no luck so far! )🏺

Blue and white Asian style has always been a hot seller for me. Love the bold colors of the current style! I like to have some vignettes with current trends in my booths! It shows I’m staying up on the newest decorative fashion! Nice information.

What a great video! Thank you for sharing these trends, I am so excited to add them to items that I source. Love your channel!

The fatal word, trend.
Why follow a passing decor style.
It's just transient and triggered by designers trying to generate business.

Love the Chinoserie pieces. I want to paint some furniture in that style

My mother's style in 70s

I just found your channel today! I love Asian antiques. I gave you a follow

That is soo crazy just looking at things like this being drawn to these bright Asian statues and chintz and bright colors but also cottage. Maybe they send out subliminal messages to us. Lol

Wow that is crazy - in France you can still find these so cheap in our French online auctions ...I was selling Famille Rose vases at my shop and we couldnt give them away recently ...even the lamps ...they went from being super expensive 20 years ago to being worth max 50 euros ...

I just did my entryway in blue and white. I love the ginger jar.

This is good to hear, because I have a bunch of these vases I need to get rid of because I'm wishing to live more intentionally by minimalizing my belongings,

Thanks for the info about the price of Chinoiserie going up and up. No wonder I saw a piece similar to the one you showed for $16.00 at a thrift shop! I have an extensive collection of blue and white china/porcelain, so much so that I have no room for any more. I have been collecting for 40 years, and have found them in all sorts of places: flea markets, thrift shops, antique stores and eBay. I have some nice flow blue and other old collectible pieces but I am just as happy with new pieces.

You have lovely skin! Do you use retinols or just moisturizer. Love your decor too.

I love chinoiserie. I also kind of like Grand Millennial although I’m a boomer 😄

NOPE!!! the best of Chinoiserie is black lacquer, with 1930's folding screens, and mine is a liquor cabinet......I an an Interior Designer......skip the blue/white crap......just junk.....

This video was so informative. Thank you! 😊

Enjoy your videos! I am both a booth and etsy reseller. Just in the last two months I have sold quite a few $20-$40 Chinoiserie items in my etsy shop. I personally don't love it but it sells and it's something that can be thrifted pretty readily. That's the fun of being a reseller, having things that are of interest to other people pass through your hands. I will be adding "grand millienial" in my tags and titles this evening! Thanks for the education on terms!
