Today our virtual travels take us farther south down the eastern seaboard to St Johns, South Carolina, to a home designed by the incomparable Phoebe Howard. Our tour guide today is Daniela from the DC-based blog Aesthetic Oiseau. If you're looking for inspiration for a modern interpretation of chinoiserie or incredibly stylish chinoiserie finds at a good price, Daniela is your girl. In fact, I found the lantern that now hangs in my master bathroom via Daniela and my husband still remarks what a great buy it was.

Hi everyone! I'm Daniela from Aesthetic Oiseau, and I'm thrilled to be guest blogging for Averill while she is enjoying some R&R - especially since Odi et Amo is my go-to source for constant interior inspiration! Averill is the queen of showcasing beautiful images - I'm always amazed how she pulls so many together for her posts.
Averill asked us to share images from our favorite vacation homes, and one designer immediately came to mind - Phoebe Howard. Phoebs is the tops in my book and with her home base in Florida, she can design a mean beach house.
There are two particular seaside projects by Mrs. Howard that I adore, but I picked one to show you because I love its vibrant use of color and touches of Chinoiserie...any beach house with turquoise foo dogs works for me!
If only we could all be here:

Don't you love the punch of that dining room? And the overall colors of this house? That periwinkle and kelly green bedroom is one of my all-time favorites.
Hope you've enjoyed one of my favorite vacation spaces by one of my fave designers (and to see the other one that was in the running - click here).
Hope you're having fun Averill!
