Good morning! Hope your week is off to a good start. Over here, I have a list a mile long of things to get busy cracking on (mostly house related) so no rest for the weary...it's already another busy week. When I start my morning with a healthy dose of blue and white, I just know its going to be a great day. Every now and then I have to post on blue and white, to give me my regular "fix" of this scrumptious combination. It just never gets old........what can I say!!
I am also super excited to have added some truly exquisite new pieces (below) so this was a perfect post to tie it all in. Hopefully some of these images are new to you, while some I realize you have seen.......they are just too pretty to not include. The truly wonderful things about blue and white is that literally it goes with every single color. I dare you to find a color that it doesn't work with. Impossible!! How about you, has blue and white-itis struck you too? Happily there is no cure in sight. So lets take a look at blue and white at its very best.........
Just some of my very favorite blue and white goodies!!

My newest ginger jars "put to the test" and they passed with flying colors:)
This kind of left me speechless...had to include it but how to describe this? A shrine to blue and white? An overdose of blue and white? A room you don't want to be in during an earthquake? Yes to all the above!
I must share with you the newest members of my blue and white family! I just added them to my online shop and I have to say these are some of my most favorite pieces! Absolutely stunning. What I love about them is that they have a lot of white in them so they are a beautiful contrast when using them as part of a grouping.....take a look!
Stunning foo dog ginger jars
And these are going to be added in the next day or two.....LOVE!

ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! This was a fabulous way to start the day! So much beauty in every room, and you new pieces are so beautiful. Is there anything more perfect than blue and white porcelain?
Happy Tuesday.

Tina ... blue and white always a perfect union! I am so thrilled to see a picture of Judy from Verandah House Interiors in the post!! I recently did a post on her home being featured in Home Beautiful Australia and it was gorgeous. Actually, I met Judy recently in Brisbane and had lunch with her and she is an absolute delight!
ReplyDeletebest wishes

Such a great journey into a blue/white world!
ReplyDeleteI love the fantastic flowerarrangements. Beside of roses I am a fan of orchids.
There are so many beautiful rooms, some I'd like to adopt.
Love, Ines
So beautiful. I have really developed a big crush on it thanks to you. I love all the new pieces especially that diamond jar and have to say the pictures of your blue and whites are my favorite in the entire post. Thanks for this little touch of beauty to start my day, now you have me thinking of where else I can add some blue and white.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Girl! You have covered ALL the bases with your fab pix of everything blue and white. You do it very well. I am not a blue and white girl in my own home, but love seeing what you do!
ReplyDeletexx
You are teasing me again... These images... loving them... Have a wonderful day Tina... xv
ReplyDeleteOh that Amy Howard design with the simple Swedish settee.....MINE! MINE! Blue and white my dear, oh the passion. I am dreaming of some BLUE since we again got more white stuff last night, piling high in my garden. But by Sunday we should have some 70 degree weather.
ReplyDeleteOK, this is magnificent. All your blues, white and comfortable corners are making my birthday celebration one of dreaming of my own home décor, as I am home today to play around my house! A dear blogger friend who is a wonderful painter sent me a small and perfect ocean scape in OIL that she painted. The blues Tina are so soothing.
Have a special day today, puttering around the house. Anita
Tina...you are killing me with all this gorgeousness so early in the morning! I love blue and white but haven't incorporated into this home as much as I would like to - my decorating has more greens than blues in it. I do have a few pieces and this post inspired me to pull them out and make them work!
ReplyDeleteQuick question - I was thinking of ordering some cherry blossoms - how many would I need to do an arrangement like the one you have pictured?
Have a lovely day! I am off the the gym...arrrrgggggh! xoxo
So much blue and white beauty - the first image is one of my favorite rooms - just love a round, pedestal table in a foyer. Loving all of your new pieces!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post, Tina! I think blue and white is a timeless combination, and the blue and white vignettes in your home are simply stunning!
ReplyDelete~ Wendi
So gorgeous and I love how it mixes with so many styles. I am loving the strong Asian vibe on your new pieces too Tina!
ReplyDeleteYou are right Tina, it never gets old! Blue and white works well anywhere. It's like white.. a true classic. Your new pieces are gorgeous! I've pinned a few of these:)

Thanks for the dose of blue and white this morning! It made me smile as I look out at yet again another snow storm in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteLaura G.
Great Post!
ReplyDeleteTina, I'm partial to
ReplyDeletethe pairing of blue & white
with earth tones, perhaps
because, as Anita mentioned,
we have fresh snow on the
ground and I'm wishing
for warmth : ) I wonder when
Panetone will choose blue
as its color of the year? I'd
love to see it center stage,
where it belongs!
Lovely additions to your
lovely shoppe.....
Happy Tuesday,
xo Suzanne
So stunning and inspiring...off to explore more in your shop!
ReplyDeleteI also adore blue and white and am always looking for ways to use it in my home! I will never grow tired of this uplifting color combination! And your right, it goes with every color. Thanks for a wonderful and inspiring post ~ I'm pinning away!
ReplyDeleteKathy
The new pieces are just beautiful. Those last two I am really in love with and may need to make room for.
ReplyDeleteAll these pictures are to die for, and have me rethinking a few of my own rooms. Thanks Tina for another wonderful post.
I just came for a visit from The French Tangerine as she featured your home today in her post. I love Jans post as they are always so boldly colorful and cheery. She suggested we drop by your blog and I am so very pleased that I did.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to find a complete 'blue and white' post of so many dreamy homes, porches, etc. I, like you, loved the table on the porch with the blue and white stripes. Enjoyed each and every picture.
Blue has been the largest part of every home I have lived in. I love paring it with yellow or pink and always with white. My first good china set was Wedgewood and it was blue and white and much later I purchased a blue and white set of everyday dishes with all American scenes.
My brothers-in-laws (3) used to tease me that I had so much blue that soon my husband would be blue as well. *smile*
I am now off for a visit to see your new pices of blue and white you have just brought in. Also my daughter lives on Cape Cod and on one of my visits we went to Conneticut. My upbringing was in Virginia and a short time in N.C. My parents were from respectively South and NOrth Carolina so our family are truly Souotheners.
I do not have a blog but enjoy you dear ladies that share with us the beauty of family and home.
Sylvia Faye
I like Amy Howard's light blue design. Also, the way you even made Christmas look pretty with the blue!
ReplyDeleteI am still SWOONING!!
ReplyDeleteTina- what a beautiful post. This is one worth keeping to go back on for so many good ideas in how to decorate with blue and white. I am slowly building my collection and have to agree there is no color it doesn't look great with. Thanks to you, I have learned so much. Your pictures of your blue and whites are just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour blog redesign is beautiful. Love how it reflects your style so perfectly.
Good afternoon Tina,
ReplyDeleteI never ever tire of seeing beautiful posts on blue and white. It is a classic and beautiful combination. I always find so many great ideas when you assemble so many photos in one place. As for your new products...lovely!
I hope you have a great week, don't work too hard!
Those photos were gorgeous! I don't have a blue and white room but I do love the blogs and designers who do...maybe my next home when I downsize. I seem to gravitate towards floral like my Herend Queen Victoria!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at blue and white! Lovely lovely lovely.
ReplyDeleteBeyond the best post I have seen on blue and white! So refreshing and lovely! Thanks for a boost to the weeks start!
ReplyDeleteJamie Herzlinger
Tina...you know me...blue and white and a few jars and my heart is melting!

ReplyDeleteyou and I are on the same page when it comes to blue and white--bring it on!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful post. I love it! That last picture is crazy looking, is that actually someones house? Tina, your home filled with blue and white is so beautiful. And all those new pieces are gorgeous. I love the flat tops. Great post that I be visiting again.
ReplyDeleteLove your breakfast room!!! Thanks for mentioning me. Your shop is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteCALLING ALL BLUE AND WHITE LOVERS!!
Great common sense here! Wish I’d thought of that much earlier. Thank you for the tips.
Stunning blue and white Tina....love the two facing sofas in the New England home!
ReplyDeleteSophia
We're definitely featuring blue in our new living room... a deep ocean blue mohair will be covering the couch! You really are a true fan of this color combo.

Tina spectacular post that has me dreaming in blue and white and thinking I dont' have enough. I never really thought of it for outside but man does it look gorgeous! Love all the ideas, and those new pieces are such beauties. Thanks for the eye candy.
ReplyDeleteHello Everyone
ReplyDeleteCALLING ALL BLUE AND WHITE LOVERS!!
Cool Article!
Cool blog!
Many thanks for a marvelous contribute.
Hi Tina,
ReplyDeleteCheck out my dining room I have two of your gorgeous ginger jars in the setting! But of course I now think I need more!!!
Gorgeous post, you house looks wonderful!
Karolyn
A few comments.
ReplyDeleteWho is Scott Snyder? Is he new? He really caught my attention!
Love your porcelains! Absolulte and utter love!
Those beautiful vases in the design by Amy Howard look like they are ready to fall off those sconces. Either have custom ones made or use the vases on a wall that doesn't make the viewer hold his or her breath.
Nice roundup of blues.
Wowza!!!! Great photos! Love the photo with the kitchen and banquette... I will have a very small kitchen and this would be perfect! Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteI love all of this Mary Ann's room was from the One Room Challenge. She also did a powder room attached. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAll of this is divine, Tina! So far today I've had 7 emails with people making jokes about how I'm advertising for you today -- so funny : )
