Love this post! I was just working on a post similar to this one for another blogger whom I'm going to guest post for this week! You know I love blue and white! That last room is gorgeous! Have a great day! XO
ReplyDeleteI love blue and white. My living room has a blue sectional and ottoman, against sandy colored walls, and a selection of blue and white ginger jars, including a large ginger jar set by the fireplace. Blue and white can be done on a budget, too, which I like!
ReplyDeleteLove blue and white and Tina, after religiously reading your blog, like it more than I ever have, you have convinced me of how great it is. Now when I go to stores, I am looking for blue and white. You are a blue and white crusader, haha.
ReplyDeleteI just put a bunch of pieces in my white kitchen and was amazed at the pick me up it gave it, it really looks so pretty. Love this post.
I love the subtleties of blues with neutrals in my home. It is what ties each room together. Blue is my calming color. Your images are stunning as always, Tina!
ReplyDeleteI think I pinned all 35!!! LOL My very first little kitchen in our little (10 x 50 ft) mobile home was blue, white and yellow. My MIL almost died....she loves earth tones (ick)but I loved it! I was 18 and just beginning to spread my design wings! I still eat on my Granny's Blue Willow and decorate with blue and white.....it NEVER goes out of style! Thanks for highlighting this!
ReplyDeleteLorraine
I love blue and white as well! I love the timeless aspect as well as the sense of peace it gives to a room!
ReplyDeleteI'm in blue heaven! Stunning!
ReplyDeletewhat a stunning collection tina, i can be converted, i want to do my home over!
ReplyDeletedebra
I love blue and white- I've tried to stay away from it in my house b/c I think I tend to overdue it but something is just so relaxing and crisp about it!
ReplyDeleteMy mind is racing now as to how and where I can incorporate some blue and white in my own home. I do have a few pieces in my bedroom on top of a pretty antique chest, but now want it in my kitchen, living room and dining room! These images are just over the top beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Tina
ReplyDeletethis is the post for me--I absolutely love blue and white and have used it with abandonment in Southampton. It always looks chic and fresh--I'm loving the last photo, perfect beachy chic!
Blue and white is such a classic and timeless look!!

Absolutely beautiful, definitely a classy and refined look. I especially love #'s 17 & 28.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell you the number of bouquets and orchids we've been asked to do in blue and white containers - such a classic, elegant look for any type of home (as you so well proved today with these fabulous images!) I'm off to pin a couple of them!
ReplyDeletexxoo
You are speaking my language girl! Not only is it classic, it's vibrant. You can't go wrong with Blue and white from traditional to modern applications.
ReplyDeleteHow are you surviving the move my friend? How do you find time for all these posts? You just keep them coming.:)
This is going to be my new catch phrase - blue and white is always right!! You can't ever go wrong with this elegant chic combination. So many fabulous examples!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so restful and elegant all at once! I am a new fan to blue~not so much the bold navy color, but the sky blues~I pinned a couple of these. I loved that cottage bedroom by RL and I loved that sitting area in front of the FP with the tufted round ottoman.
ReplyDeleteI love love blue and white! Love the fireplace surrounded by the blue and white tiles. Reminds me of Portugal!
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteI loved each image better than the last!!! Love it when there is a cluster of blue and white ginger jars!
That Martha Stewart bathroom, table by entertaining extraordinaire Carolyn Rohme and that last room by Martyn B are my favs!!!
I'll bet you have some gorgeous blue and white collections!!
xo Elizabeth
OBSESSED!!!! I love the Carolyn Roehm book, A Passion for Blue and White. This post is amazing!! I love #20, 27, 32 and 34!! made my Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a classic combination. I decorated our first home in navy and white and am starting to redecorate our current home in the same combination. I love the way blue and white combines so well with everything from pastels to neon colors. You can always use the two colors with accessories in the trendiest hues and get a fresh look.
ReplyDeleteSo, so lovely... the RAlph LAuren bedroom is heavenly... xv
ReplyDeleteAgree! It never gets old! You can never have too much blue and white -- which is what I keep telling my husband when he raises his eyebrows when I bring home yet another ginger jar! Beautiful post Tina, I love all 35 of your reasons! XO
ReplyDeleteFaaaaaaaaaabulous post, darling!
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my favorite color combo for the exact reasons you stated. And it looks great in almost any combination or style of the room and with other accent colors. Excellent post and pics!

Wonderful post! My first love was blue and white!! I will never get over the look!
ReplyDeleteLove blue and white, whether it's home decor OR clothing. I seem to consistently want white or blue somewhere in my day, and they most always have to be paired together. Love all the images!
ReplyDeleteYou had me at blue & white!!! I couldn’t agree more...this post was total eye candy. B&W just makes me happy. I saw some amazing B&W pieces at the Greenbrier! xx
ReplyDeleteThese pictures suddenly just brightened my day and re-kindled my love for blue and white! Loved each of the gorgeous photos! Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Love, love, love blue and white!! It goes with anything and is so classically timeless!!

ReplyDeleteHello, sweet Tina!
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing?
It's interesting, but whenever I see something "blue & white" I think of you!!! I know you love it so much. This post is heavenly, my friend!
Have a great day, sweetie!

You just made my day. I never get tired of looking at beautiful rooms of Blue & White. It is by far most favorite color combinations and if you look at my home, you would have no doubt about it!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the beautiful start to a gloomy day!!
What a beautiful post. I am new to your blog by way of Pinteres and am in fact only getting to know what a blog even is. Love it and have already gotten so many fantastic ideas. We bought a small beach house in MA (just closed a few months ago) so are renovating it, I have visions of lots of white and blue and white accents. My mother is a designer in Boston and is helping us with it. Got so many beautiful ideas from this post alone. Love your eye. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThis is all so beautiful Tina. I think I will pin several of these images! Love the vignette by Joseph Minton and the kitchen. Huge fan of blue and white - just added another ginger jar to my collection yesterday! This is a great post and loaded with ideas.

Congratulations on your beautiful home, and thank you for this wonderful post. One question, can you please give me more information regarding the credit "Thornton"?
ReplyDeleteLove this post!!! You can never have too much blue and white procelain. To me, it's home.
ReplyDeleteTina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, I've been dreaming blue and white and have a post scheduled for tomorrow on this very topic. I do not have blue and white in very many rooms but have always longed to have a do over...just too costly and would involve too much work, but it is and always has been a favorite combination for me. Fabulous images.
Karen
Good gracious Tina, didn't you find some gorgeous examples! I just sat here gazing upon all the loveliness for much too long, they are all more-than-appealing. My favorites have to be 3, 8, 17 and 35, they were *so* pretty and elegant and easy on the eyes.
ReplyDeleteSending you a smile,
tp
Love this post!!! So happy you had a few pictures from Knight-Carr. She is currently doing our Master bedroom in... you guessed it, blue and white!!! I too, pinned almost all these pictures! Thank you!!! :o)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, Tina. I love these images! I am collecting blue and white porcelain now, and I can't get enough.
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing these days? Are you pinching yourself when you look around?
Happy for you, friend.
Teresa

Bue and white just always looks so crisp and clean. The first photo is my fave! xo
ReplyDeleteCan you believe that I do not have any blue and white??? Neither can I!! Apart from my son who painted his bedroom a coblat blue ( and at the time I was very oppesed to it!) and stuck Lord of The Rings Posters on and it might sound gross but they pop right of those walls and the natural tones are greatly enchanced!
ReplyDeleteAnd I actually love blue and white, so , I think I need to start a collection of blue and white. A great new project to work on, and, I am thinking in the Den/Library with my dark wood bookcases would be just the spot for a petit collection of pretties!
Veronica
Some gorgeous images here.
Beautiful! Just found your blog today, but I'm hooked. We're in the middle of building our first home!
ReplyDeleteBlack and white, green and white, and blue and white are my go-to combinations. I use a lot of blue and white porcelain inside my home and my master bedroom is blue and white with cream. Outside on my patio it is the main color scheme. All my cushions are cobalt trimmed in white and I have ceramic pots in cobalt and also in cobalt and white porcelain. I agree it is a timeless classic color combination. Love love love this post!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday,
Kathysue
I just love, love, love blue and white! I absolutely love the first picture--the blue and white looks so gorgeous with the stunning water view!
ReplyDeleteSo love the blue and white...Went away from it a few years ago and now I am back incorporating more blues into my home..So classic and you have chosen wonderful images..Thank you..I must say I have pinned several of these for inspiration!
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty rooms, that coming from a person that is not a fan of so much blue.

Tina, you have single-handedly convinced that that if I don't get to do a whole house in blue and white someday I am sorely missing out! Your personal collection is amazing, and I cannot wait to see it throughout your home!
ReplyDeleteStacy
Tina,
ReplyDeleteI love Blue, White, and Ivory. It's a big "Hello" when it's used in any setting and especially a guest room it's fresh appeal is quite universal. Great array of snaps here! So glad your getting settled in your new home. I'm sure you are plotting out your blue and white jar locations as well.
Bette
Tina I love your blog and especially today's blue & white. My daughter's house is done in variations of blue and white. Her dining room chairs, Italian with painted red legs, are covered in beautiful blue & white. Such a happy combination. Makes me smile just to be there.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so with you. The rooms with blue and white combined with a little green or neutrals are my favorite. It is incredible how versatile and timeless it is and probably always will be! I know you have an enormous collection- can't wait to see how you decorate with it throughout your home!
ReplyDeleteTina, I am a blue girl. Always have been and always will! No wonder were pals.....
DeleteI can't believe I found your blog today (via Pinterest)! One of the things I always search for on Pinterest is new ideas to show off and display my blue ware as well as ways to coordinate blue into different styles of design. I had even 'pinned' several photos from your blog in the last few days not knowing where they had come from. Wow. So Inspired now...your blog photos command a new board on Pinterest just for Blue and White love..Thanks and keep up the wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteOh I love blue and white!!! Its truly one on my loves! Thanks for sharing the amazing pics and I can't wait to see your house after its all done. It truly is amazing and so very beautiful!!! I love your style!!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed on all counts! Blue & white is a must in decorating.
ReplyDeleteBy the way - first time reading your blog! My jaw dropped when I saw your house, so excited to follow your decorating adventures!

Blue and white is my all time favourite! I love it most in coastal or country style interiors. Gorgeous! xo K
ReplyDeleteI love all of these images! Blue and White is such a classic design, it is so nice to see a mix of casual and formal, traditional and a bit modern. There are so many great ideas.
ReplyDeleteHope your knee is better and that the house is coming along.
have a great day, Elizabeth
Other than pictures of your house this is one of my favorite post. I love blue and white and it reflects all over my house. I have blue hydrangea outside, blue tile in my pool, blue sofas in my family room, blue granite in my kitchen, blue carpet in my laundry room, blue tile floors in my mudroom, blue shades in my breakfast room, blue dishes, everyday and wedding china, blue chairs and buffet in my dining room, blue vases in my living room and foyer, blue paint in 2 of my guest rooms, blue tile in hall bath, blue paint in master bedroom, blue carpet in master bedroom, blue fabric on bed, blue paint in my bathroom, blue tile in my husbands bathroom and I am sitting under a blue blanket as I type this.
ReplyDeleteNow that I recall all this, I think I have a problem and need an intervention.
Wait at least I don't have a blue car...anymore.
Blue and white just makes me happy all over! It has been my color scheme since I first began decorating my life's homes over thirty years ago, (I can't believe it is that long - the blue and white is still so fresh!) Thanks for this post! Love!
ReplyDeleteNote to self: Buy more ginger jars.
Well you know how we love blue and white. These are gorgeous images, Tina and the picture with the blue and white zebra is fabulous!! So hope all is going well and you are getting a little rest with all the moving...
ReplyDeleteGood evening Tina!
ReplyDeleteI came by this morning and just as I was about to comment,my husband yells out, "LET'S GO!" I had to rush off to work.
BLUE AND WHITE are refreshing and elegant, comfortable and timeless. THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS BRIGHTENING UP OUR DAY! Anita
A really beautiful post on blue and white. I have a small transferware collection which is displayed in a beautiful walnut hutch I inherited from my grandparents. It adds so much beauty and charm to my room. You have done a great job of showing how this works in so many styles of homes, from traditional to modern. Thank you for this, I will be sure to come back to it :-)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this post. I adore the color combination of blue and white. These images prove it...it is chic, timeless, classic and always eye catching. I always get excited when I'm decorating with blue and white. xoxo.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is random pops of blue & white in a room--a garden stool, pair of vases, lamp, etc!
ReplyDeleteI recently bought a book in the bargain section of Barnes and Noble called "A Passion for Blue and White"--I immediately thought of you and have been thinking of doing a post about the book!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment!!! glad you are getting settled in to your beautiful new home. Congratulations!!!!

Can you say "breathtaking". Makes me want to do my entire house in blue and white!
ReplyDeleteSee this is why I can't stop reading blogs - I might miss out on a fabulous post like this that will change my life - or my house! I am struggling to find a way of reinventing all my blue and white at the moment. I want it a bit softer and prettier, although I love that fresh crisp Bahamas looks, but I want a bit of Phoebe Howard prettiness too. LeeAnn Thornton does a great job blue and white, I'll have to flick through her portfolio again for inspiration. I do have a pile of MLB fabrics sitting here draped over my couch, and they are heavenly, but a lot greenier blues than I already have which tend to be rich navy and indigo. Not sure how I'll end up ......
ReplyDeleteLove all of this blue and white! Are you thinking about doing any of that in your new house?
ReplyDeleteTina...I don't need ANY convincing on this subject! I am SO with you on blue and white....
