Checking in...

 

We've been having a great and relaxed time, thank you for your beautiful wishes. I promise I'll be returning emails next week. Our days have been full of early coffee, strolls around charming downtown areas and gorgeous and romantic sunsets. Just what I needed. I, of course, have already visited The Hampton Designers Showhouse and have lots of images for you next week. Pure delight! I am posting from my iPad and I can't upload any images to the blog (don't think there is even a way or an app). But I had these more than appropriate images of blue and white rooms somewhere in the bottom of my blog's draft and thought they would be great as an improvised postcard. See you next week!

Classic Wednesday, white and blue

Very few color combinations is as classic as blue and white. A combination that has been used since the time of the Ottoman Empire and in places as exotic as Morocco, it's been adopted by American Design since the longest time. Blue and white is a timeless combination of which one never gets tired, because as someone recently said: “it's in nature.” That is probably why we never get bored of it. Below are a few images of white and blue rooms dating back as old as 1966 to prove it.
