| GOOD question OP. I’ve inherited a chest from my grandmother that we’ve always just called “the Chinese piece,” and I’ve been wondering about this. Similar to this: https://pin.it/25GNK3J |

It wants to be known as the asian-american piece, or better yet, just 'the piece' because why mention it.

I love IKEA! I'm French. Does that make it OK because I'm European, or does an American with Scandinavian roots have priority?

haha, you are fine. Anyone from France is a joy as far as I am concerned and therefore gets a pass. |

I generally think stuff is fine but I think I would draw the line at pagodas. Especially if it has something like geisha girls with parasols or anything like that....
But I love Asian inspired florals like cherry blossom motifs. |
