Blue and White Monday - Beautiful Chinoiserie Mural

I love the combination of blue and white.  That's why I begin every week with blue and white images for inspiration.  I ran across the amazing blog The Style Saloniste last week and saw breathtaking pictures of decorative artist Michael Dute's Berlin apartment.  The post is fascinating and the interview about his work is very interesting.  See it here.

Blue and White Monday from Australia's Anna Caldwell

Anna Caldwell is a news editor from Brisbane.  I follow her (notes_from_monroe) on Instagram, and she tagged me with the photo above.  I was so excited to see that she'd used one of my prints!  Then I saw that her apartment was featured in the latest Adore Magazine .  I'm sharing some of those images, but there are more to see here . Besides having amazing interior design style, she also has an incredible sense of fashion.  I'm sure she's quite busy with her journalism career, but selfishly, I want her to start a blog RIGHT NOW.  I'd love to get to see all of the fresh, fun and stylish images she shares through Instagram on my large monitor instead of my iPhone screen.   Besides the blue and white, I'm LOVING all of the pink and blue -- so happy and feminine!  This article is my favorite of the issue, but there's PLENTY more to soak up in Adore.  See the entire issue here. I have another treat for you toda

With the 110 degree temps, plus the mosquitoes, I prefer staying indoors. However, today, with the wonderfully mild weather we're having, I'd love a porch in which to enjoy the day. Since I don't, I'm going to settle for looking at these instead.  I hope you're having a lovely weekend!  Traditional Home Colorado Homes New England Home Architectural Digest

Blue and White Monday: Curb Appeal

Gwyneth Paltrow's house via decorpad While interior design is a primary focus at TPP, I also love being charmed by a home's exterior.  Ever since I can remember, I've fixated on facades scrutinizing and analyzing them as I peer out a car window, go for a walk, or look at home magazines.  I'm noticing more and more front doors painted blue, and it's a trend I like a lot. Veranda House Interiors   Southern Living  via Martha Stewart  via Marcus Design Blog The houses above and below are here in Dallas, and I snapped these photos with my phone.  I love them both, and I'm keeping an eye out for more : ).
