Blue and white love contest round 2!


Happy Tuesday evening! As promised here is round 2 of the "Blue and white love" contest. Think you can handle even more blue and white beauty? If you missed round 1 yesterday, click here to cast your vote(s).  Pretty incredible so far, don't you think? Just when you think the blue and white love could not get any prettier....well brace yourself. There is yet more beauty. The talent and devotion to blue and white is unwavering and admirable! I believe every one of these entrants gets instant membership to the "Blue and white for life" club.n

 This is so very difficult. With the vast number of pictures I got it was warranted to split them into two rounds. So as we did with round one, I am will ask you now to make the very difficult decision of voting for a few favorites in round 2! Believe me, I feel your pain and know this is not at all easy and will likely require some back and forth. Just go with the ones that best say "Blue and white love" to you! Happy looking.......

I know I know.....so many amazing ones! How to choose, not an easy task. Results will be posted on Friday. Due to the sheer number of pictures I received, not only did I break this into two rounds but I also have allowed up to four votes each time you vote. I realize it's nearly impossible to have just one favorite!


Click here to cast your vote for round 1 if you haven't already (you can vote daily)  Voting ends Friday morning at 6am EST.

Best part is I decided they will both get a prize:)   Thanks again for stopping in and being part of all the fun. I have so loved doing this. Start thinking about the holidays.....that will be the theme for my December contest. Wishing you a wonderful day.



THANK YOU POLLDADDY for creating a user friendly and reliable poll....I am so relieved to have found you!  You can vote for up to 4 entries at one time, click the box next to the numbers then hit vote at the bottom.

If you want to see where the voting is so far, just click on "see results" on bottom of poll

  2. Tina I am just blown over by how many you got and how beautiful they each are. WOW! Your readers have excellent taste, some of these look like they could easily be on the cover of AD. I was able to narrow it down but not easily!

  4. They're all AMAZING! Didn't know which to choose, but yes No.20 is my 'almost' fav! Well, Tina you are one great decorator, I love your style and it's what I personally love and no one comes even closed to your blue and White collection! I just hosted a dinner party at my house with a complete blue and White set tables for 14, all in blue and White transferware and Hutstenreuther B&W too. You inspired me to start collecting them with more emphasis! Hope you can come and see sometime, if you ever have a tiny time!
    Hugs,

  6. Absolutely beautiful! I have to take another look before I cast my votes.

    Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth

  7. I voted for #33. I almost voted for both 4, and 11. Some of these are a bit obsessive for me, but there lovely ones here. I'm thinking a picture should only be entered once.

  8. Hi Tina,

    I just voted, but had to comment! This shows me two things. 1st….what a testament to your readership to have so many entries! 2nd…I think it's safe to say that blue and white might very possibly be THE most popular color combo! So much fun. Off to check out the first round. And, love your poll tool!

    xoxo Elizabeth

  9. Really floored by all the beauty here! I think you have brought back blue and white Tina!!

    I disagree with above poster choosing just one would be impossible! So happy we can choose. 4 and even that was hard to narrow down :)

    Every one is so beautiful! Thanks for the eye candy.

  10. Picture number 8 is a " Blue and White Heartbreak ". Looks like my husband has been through her kitchen too !!! He is a bull in a china shop. I am so tired of using crazy glue. But, I am Blessed to have him !

  11. I have to pick #3. The Lomonosov china cup and saucer is a very personal memento of when we went to Russia to adopt our daughter. Whenever I see it it reminds me of all the love we have for our daughter and how blessed we are to have her!

  15. It is fun to see all this B & W! I wish you had curated this better. Duplicates from yesterday, the same pieces rearranged and reshot, the same pictures repeated in this group. Yesterday was way more fun!

    Have a great day, Tina!! xoxo

  17. Tina gone for 10 days and look what I miss! Holy moly, this is some gorgeous post. I cannot believe how many pictures. Just placed 4 votes for round 1 now going up again to make my votes for this round. Tough competition.

  21. What a fun contest and a pleasure to vote; after all, who doesn't love their world with a side of beautiful blue?!!

    Thank you!

  22. Hi Tina what a wonderful testament to your blog and your superb taste level to have gotten nearly 200 pictures of blue-and-white! There are some really exceptional ones here and I so enjoy going through each and everyone

  23. 20, 38, and 29 for me (I voted on the poll). People should really be congratulated on how creatively they used this color combination - there sure is a lot of blue and white love out there! What a fantastic contest.

  27. Another incredible round. I was so drawn to that kitchen in picture 16 and of course voted for a few others whose love for blue and white was evident.

  28. Your readers are extraordinary talented! All pictures are gorgeous, and the places and homes they depict beautiful. I just voted for my favorite ones, #6, #32 and #38!

    ReplyDelete
  29. LOVELY pics but I agree...there are repeats from yesterday and more than 1 entry from the same photos. Also I clearly recognize some people's entries from magazine pics they copied and NOT there own homes! But it was still fun to look at!

  31. I'm too late to vote, but that's OK. I don't know if I could pick just four. Fabulous idea. Hope you will do this again. Out of town and couldn't participate this time.
