♦  My Favorite Blue & White Vignettes  ♦

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of all things blue and white especially blue and white chinoiserie decor.  Although I really started building my blue and white collection, this classic and timeless look is one I’ve always been inspired by. Here’s a look at a few of my all-time favorite blue & white vignettes.

Blue is a color that mixes well with just about other color but one of my favorite color combos is blue and orange.  This vignette is the perfect way to dress up a small foyer and make a statement with just a few dynamic pieces.

Or you can keep the color palette to just blue and white.  Don’t you just love how the lines on the mirror replicate the lines on the console? #detailsmakedesign

I’m a sucker for blue and white ceramic pieces and this vignette was built to showcase each and every decorative piece.

Nothing makes a dynamic tablescape like this collected grouping of objects you see in this vignette.  If you ever come across a blue and white piece missing its lid, keep in mind that it can be used as a flower vase.

What’s not to love about this bar cart vignette?  The blue and blue pieces add personality and relate to that amazing wall decor.

Then there’s the idea of using blue and white to dress up a party table.  So much inspiration in this one beautiful vignette!

A blue and white statement lamp is a great way to add impact and elegance to a bedroom.

If you’re an avid flea market shopper like me,  keep your eyes open for inexpensive blue and white plates.  Hung on a wall, a collection of plates is really dynamic.

Back-To-School Shopping–The Adult Version

Back-To-School Shopping For Adults Who Like To Decorate

◊◊

This past weekend was a big back-to-school shopping weekend here in Atlanta.  It was a tax-free weekend and most school are starting back this week or next so shopping had to get done.

Even though I knew the stores were going to be crowded, I ventured out for a few hours to see if there were any deals to be had.  And boy or boy were there.

I never really took note of it before but shopping during the back-to-school season has its benefits.  Most of the big box stores like HomeGoods, Target and Macy’s had beefed up their inventory levels and had some great decorative pieces to decorate dorm rooms.  Not only were the prices good, but many of  items could work just as easily for home decor.

 p.s. if you haven’t noticed, dorm  decor has really become style statement these days.  Far from the posters I hung on the wall.

So I know you’re asking yourself what does this mean for all of us that aren’t going off to school.

It means back-to-school season is a great time to shop for home decor items.

◊◊

Here’s a list of home decor products that are worth shopping for NOW during back-t0-school season and some great pieces you might want to snag:

  •  Bed Linens–there are lots of fun patterns including plaids, stripes and geometrics out for back-to-school.
  • Organizing Items–I spotted lots of amazing baskets and cloth storage bins as well and space-saving door and under-bed storage pieces.
  • Office Decor–caddies, trays, boxes and bins plus lots of cute bulletin boards and wall units.
  • Lighting–especially tabletop and desk lamps many of which are priced better than those styles marketed for home decor.
  • Accent Furniture–if you’re in the market for a small side table, ottoman, pouf or stools, you’ll find lots to choose from.
  • Bathroom Decor–great under cabinet pieces, towels and vanity accessories.

Fall Bed Linen Refresh

IMG_0141

Every season I do a little refresh of the bed linens on our bed.  I like to change things up a bit to  reflect the colors of the season and how I’m feeling.

With the onset of fall it was time for the pink and red pillows to move out and rich, warm colors to move in.

Shopping In Unexpected Places

There are times when I go into a TJMaxx looking for something specific and then there are times when I go in just to check things out.

The times when I’m just wandering to see what’s new is when I usually discovered something great.

Yesterday I popped into the store to wander (really I was looking for a pair of shoes) and as normally happens, I made my way over to the handbag section.

Up and down the rows I went, finding nothing that struck my fancy when all of a sudden something in the cosmetic/personal care area caught my attention.

It was black and white, a no fail color combo and it looked cute from a distance.

As I walked up on it and reached out to touch it, I felt softness.

The piece really had my attention now.  I immediately turned the piece over to inspect the other side, then the top and then the bottom.

I was liking what I was seeing.

I flipped the tag over to look at the price and smiled to myself.

It was $12.99, black and white and really cute.
