I'm on a roll here with my new fascination with blue and white. Earlier in the week,
here, I shared that I have been adding more blue and white to my interior decor of my home as a result of a friend's influence. Now I have taken it a step further with a week night informal table setting.
I am just so amazed at how much it brightens this room with the clean lines and at how fresh it feels.
I found the placemats and napkins online at William Sonoma and the name, Marisol. So French in just the name but it fit with everything else that I use for everyday.
With just a few touches of yellow on the placemats and also elsewhere in this room, it was perfect with my Vilroy & Boch Audin Ferme dinnerware.
The stemware I have had for such a long time but I always enjoy using it. It has such a nice feel in ones hands and is made from recycled glass. The golden goblet works beautifully with the Audin Ferme.
Often just subtle changes can make such a difference. I am truly enjoying adding more blue and white and am wondering why in the world haven't I done so before. I feel a new set of dishes coming on.
YIKES, now where to put them would be another question.
It's Thursday and I will be joining Susan for
Tablescape Thursday.
Thank you for visiting my blog and please do come again soon.
I love the crispness that blue and white adds to a decor. I seem to moving toward brown, blue and white and am quite pleased. Our very first everyday stoneware was the blue and white Generation pattern from Dansk. After 25 years it started breaking down as stoneware does. When we shopped for it at Bo Danica in La Jolla, Dick Van Dyke and his wife were purchasing the same pattern!!

Yellow and blue were made to go together along with blue and white!
ReplyDeleteFind the dishes.....and the space will reveal itself!
Carolyn -- those placemats are perfect with those dishes -- actually those dishes are absolutely stunning. I love your new blue and white touches!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd blue and white does brighten things up PLUS all colors seem to go with blue and white which, to me, is really interesting!
Very pretty table. I love your new place mats...they look perfect with your dishes! Your dining room is really lovely. I don't have nearly enough blue and white! I feel a new set of dishes coming on, too!

Loving the yellow, blue & white! It's the perfect color combination!
ReplyDeleteThank you Alycia, as you may have read blue and white is a new color scheme for me. I usually go with very bright vibrant colors but this is very relaxing to me. Maybe it is an age thing for me???
