Blue and White Monday from Instagram

Image
Not much to say about this other than YES.  Instagram is amazing. These are screenshots, and I left user names on so that you'd know where these originated and how to follow.  Are you on Instagram? How often do you post something?  How often do you look at your feed?  If you're not on, why not?   I'm so looking forward to The Blue and White Bash next Monday! If you're a blogger, read all about linking your blue and white post and joining the fun here .  Readers, bring your coffee.  You'll want to stay awhile : )

Can You Believe It's Horchow?

I saw this room on Pinterest recently, and did a double take.  And not just because of the blue and white, though that's definitely helping.  I love the large scale patterned rug .  And that table ! Love that.  While the chandelier isn't something I would typically choose, I really like it so much against the navy paint.  I liked the room enough to click through from Pinterest, and found myself at Horchow .  I like lots of things at Horchow , but I don't remember liking their styling as well as this.   To me, it's not obviously staging.  It looks like it could appear in a magazine. The above are all items from the room.  Below are a couple of items I've shared before and still am liking.  Especially those throws.  During the winter everyone in my family reaches for a throw when we settle in for TV or a movie.  Do you use them as an accessory or warmth or both?  Both at my house.

Blue and White Monday from Australia's Anna Caldwell

Image
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
