Re: A FEW AMERICANA ROOMS

All are so interesting. 

 

Aack to the 5-pillow sofa situation in the third photo.. Screams overdramatic decorator.    One of my pet peevees.

 

I love the simplicity of the red geraniums in the blue and white chinoiserie pots. 

 

I kinda love that blue and whilte toile wallpaper in that home.   But then I have a hard time turning down chinoiserie, toile, or blue and white.

The aqua is an interesting take on Americana.

 

I have a few flag themed hooked rugs that I will bring out for the 4th.

OK...I'll admit it, when I read your thread title, I was expecting the cheesy Americana themed rooms from 25-30 years ago but these are much more sophisticated. They're not my style but, for the most part, are very well done.

@SactoSue ,  blue and white Canton ware is great for an Americana look.  All you need to do is add bright red flowers, and pow, red, white and blue!   

 

For Memorial Day lunch, I already had a chinoiserie ginger jar, small pitcher and Delft ware on the table, and red and white flowers and my dark red placemats chimed right in.
