decorating with blue and white





Hello..
Still in a blue and white decorating faze over here at my place, if you hadn't noticed. I've always loved blue and white. Like the changing mood of the sea, the shade of blue I like varies with my mood.


An all white background with a touch blue and white always looks crisp and fresh, don't you think? 


A shabby old vintage dresser I found and painted adds character to our place and is useful for storing collected crockery that we use every day.




before..


What do you love about blue and white?

  2. This is delightful! I like it better than the other photo. I like the little fleur de lis or hearts on the mugs and the striped cups and saucers with your beautiful M plates.

  5. Your little cabinet was sweet before, but now it is fresh and crisp. I love the look of blue and white Cornish ware. I have one simple bowl and British friend brought me from Cornwall. My kitchen was all blue and white at one time and I kept everything (in the attic) because you never know if you will go back to an old color scheme.

    I am in love with the white dishes too!

  7. I went to re-check the before, which I liked a lot. But today the hutch is more nautical and more summer-y. It makes me long for summer after a full week of non-stop rain here. The hutch is a darling piece and it must be fun to change the decor every now and then!

  15. I think I like white with any color. Your blue and white is so fresh and clean. Such a pretty cupboard! I'd love it if you would link this up to my new linky party, "What We Accomplished Wednesday." It is live right now. Have a great weekend!
