Blue and White Monday with Design Chic

How exciting to have the lovely Beth and Kristy, from Design Chic, here!  Everything on their blog is divine, as is the gorgeousness they are sharing today.

 We were so thrilled when Jennifer asked us to be a part of her series "Blue and White Monday." This timeless color combination is one of our favorites -- just like The Pink Pagoda! We absolutely adore Jennifer's beautiful blog, flawless taste and eye for design. Thank you so much for having us, Jennifer!
Blue and white. It isn't only for porcelain. We adore the classic color combination anywhere, but especially by the sea.

A pop of blue in a neutral palette adds life and depth. Aren't those round pillows so much fun?

Blue and white may be what we think of little boys, but the pale, soothing palette is a perfect choice for little girls as well!

One of the best things about a blue and white color scheme is that everything doesn't have to match exactly. As long as they blend, incorporating a range of blues makes a stunning statement.

Just a touch of blue in an otherwise white room is one of our favorite ways to achieve that spa-like feel.

What an incredibly relaxing place to lounge!

This kitchen could be even more delicious than the food that comes out of it.

This adorable child's bath is perfect for kiddos, but, when they are all grown up, the blue sink will still be beautiful.

Blue water and white decor... A favorite blue and white!

The blue and white palette from the sand and water continues seamlessly onto the front porch, creating a soothing sitting spot.

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. .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .   .

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...
