Blue and White Monday + News


Frances Schultz

The photo above is from the former townhouse of Frances Schultz. She worked on it with the designer John Oetgen around 20 years ago.  When I visited her blog recently and saw the photos of her townhouse that were featured in Veranda, I recognized them immediately.  I loved that feature and kept that issue.  I remember being so fascinated by this photo and also the one of her bedroom. Go here to see more about the article.  

Below, I have more blue and white gorgeousness for you.

If you're a blogger, chances are you've done a post that includes blue and white.  Blue and white fabric, wallpaper, porcelain, apparel, a party, etc.  I'd be absolutely thrilled if you'd link your post up on September 30th. And if you're a blogger and you don't have one, but you'd like to join us, just create one between now and then.  Or the day of works, too.  I thought it would be fun to share our blue and white posts here and have a Blue and White Bash.  Who knows -- maybe we could do it once a month on a Monday.  Sounds fun to me!


Lots of you may have never done a link up before.  It's actually very easy. Really, you just click and follow the directions.  There are 2 or 3 very easy steps to follow.  If you join me next Monday, I'd love for you to let your readers know you're here.  And if you have a blogging friend with a penchant for blue and white, let them know to be here, too!

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.

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
