A stunningly beautiful blue and white living room with so much inspiration - lots of blue and white Chinese porcelain, a mini bar, those elephants, orchids, a white slipcovered sofa, books, and gorgeous art.
When I was in law school, I lived in a very grand house in Georgetown. So grand that it was rented by Joe and Rose Kennedy to house the Kennedy clan for JFK's inauguration. When I was living there, every spring the owners would take up all the oriental rugs and replace them with jute and seagrass and slipcover all the sofas and chairs in white cotton duck. The windows were all washed, silk drapes removed, and a spring house cleaning was done including the garden and pool.
I learned lots about running a house and still love the ritual of spring cleaning. Yesterday I hand washed all the screens in my lanai indoors and out! It looks wonderful. When I finished, I made an Old Fashioned and sat in the lanai at sunset. This is the life.
It sounds like a perfect end of a day,and the room is brilliant.
ReplyDeleteI do love this room.
DeleteBeautiful! Beth, you've led such an interesting life. You should write a memoir :)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting idea.
DeleteI want your life. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteThe weather here has been absolutely perfect for spring cleaning! I have been doing a little myself. My favorite time of day to be in the garden and sit on the deck is the last hour before sunset - perfection!
ReplyDeleteI agree - and my view of the sunset with the preserves and the lake is stunning.
DeleteWhere was the house, Beth? This is just an over-the-top gorgeous living room. Thank you for posting it.
