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.

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.

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