Blue and White Monday

You know that I'm such a blue and white fan that I have to devote my Monday posts to beautiful blue and white images.  If you are a fan of blue and white, and you don't own the book A Passion for Blue and White, you should put it on your Christmas wish list.  Or, give it to your friend who loves blue and white.  I just can't get used to the gorgeous photographs in this book.  They are breathtaking.  And there are so, so many lovely photographs to enjoy.  The below is just a tiny sampling.  













Did you see here, on the back cover, that it retails for $60?  At Amazon you can purchase it for $37.


































Since it's Blue and White Monday, I wanted to share a blue and white gift guide I saw on the wonderful blog Belclaire House.  Jennifer, who obviously has lovely taste, has put together a gift guide that I thought you'd love to see.  Take one look at her absolutely beautiful blog header and you'll be ready to jump right over to her blog to check it out.  Happy Shopping!

Happy Monday!

Blue and White Monday: Art

These two new amazing Christina Baker paintings were photographed hanging on a wall in Christina's studio before they were delivered recently to Bennet Galleries .  How I'd love to visit Christina's studio to see where all the magic takes place!  I can see that it's bright, clean, minimal, and sophisticated. As her paintings are always spectacular, it follows that her work space has to be gorgeous and inspirational.   Nightlife   Half Past Two Star Dust Not blue and white, but I love this one, don't you? I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to share it.   Star Dust is another new painting available at Bennet Galleries. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   . I'm thinking about art studios at the moment because my daughter (an artist) and I will be moving to a new house in the next few months, and will use one of the bedrooms as an office/studio.

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 : ).

2014 Fall One Room Challenge || Final Week

Thank you for coming to see my completed entrance hall. I redesigned our very tired and lifeless entry for The One Room Challenge. You can catch up and see "before" shots  here .  It's been so much fun working with this space, and I'm thrilled with the results.  How exciting to get to share it with you today! Above and below is the view from the front door. These are the beyond breathtaking panels that Christina Baker painted for the entry.  I'm not sure if from the photos you can get a true understanding of the impact these panels create.  In person they're even more beautiful, and I'm wanting to spend lots of time on the settee enjoying the view. Christina was absolutely lovely to work with. Besides these to-die-for paintings I get to enjoy everyday, it was fantastic getting to know and work with her. Her work is available at Gregg Irby Fine Art , and also can be seen on her site . And, here is the spectacular lant
