Color-Combo: Blue and White


Blue and White is such a classic color combination, and it seems like lately I've been seeing it more and more.

It looks gorgeous outside! I love using blue out in the garden, and it looks great here on the outdoor rug.

And there's classic blue and white pottery. Goes with anything!

It makes a serene and beautiful bedroom.

It can be an easy and inexpensive way to decorate a wall.


Still beautiful and serene in a bedroom...

It's interesting over cabinets in the kitchen.

And it adds some color to a foyer.


I'm using blue and white as accents in our guest bedroom to go with a painting that Chris' grandmother did - as a pillow on the bed, and in some pottery around the room.
How about you? Do you like the blue and white color combination??
And in case you haven't already - don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!

I love blue and white pottery. So crisp and classic. my mom's everyday china was blue and white and it always looked good.

We picked up some lovely blue and white vases at Crate and Barrel. It was a beautiful set of 5-all varying heights and patterns and I love them! They look so pretty scattered around the room!

i'm too superloving like Jenny there! funny, every summer I want this style so badly, and then perhaps forgot about it after the summer... weird? maybe it's something my soul needs to get when I finally purchase a cottage... yes, that's ofcourse it! Now I need to convince the BF to buy a summer cottage so that I can start creating this look... somewhere by the lake ofcourse. Now I'm dreaming away again... I let you know how it goes! :)

I was at my grandparent's yesterday, and my grandma has some similar blue-and-white pottery. I told her it's very in now. She got a kick out of me saying that, because she inherited it decades ago.
