Blue Bamboo

Blue Bamboo Flatware

For years I have thought to myself, "Why hasn't someone come out with blue bamboo flatware?" Well, someone finally did.

"Crafted entirely by hand, this flatware is much like a piece of jewelry you never find a reason to take off. It's incredibly versatile; you'll turn to this set for casual weeknight dinners, your Thanksgiving gathering and spring luncheons al fresco, too. The organic feel and unique character to each individual piece adds character and depth to your setting, and the rich blue color makes it a departure from everyday cutlery."

Speaking of my love of blue, I always enjoy seeing pictures of the Lake Forest, Illinois Designer Showhouse - I grew up on Sheridan Road in Lake Forest.

The 2023 Lake Forest Showhouse & Gardens has just opened. Here is the foyer by Sarah Vaile done in $180,000 of de Gournay silk wallcovering with linen cutouts. No, I didn't get the price wrong. I understand the Matisse reference, but I think that many folks would find this hard to live with. I would.

If I bought the house I would feel too guilty to tear it out, but would much rather have a classic blue chinoiserie de Gournay wallcovering. One person on Instagram said it looked like day care. Keep in mind this home is a classic brick Georgian Colonial in very traditional Lake Forest.

I would choose something like this.
