Blue & Green

Colorblock Darren Dress

 

I love combining blue and white with green in my home. Blue and white Chinese porcelain looks wonderful paired with green.

Happy Labor Day and first day of September. September here in South Florida means that temperatures have finally dipped down into the eighties. A gorgeous day here today.

Seagrass and Wicker for Fall

Green Patterned Woven Pumpkin

 

Fall does not have to mean harvest colors of oranges and browns. I love these green seagrass pumpkins that would be wonderful with blue and white ginger jars. Blue and green is one of my favorite color combinations.

Charlotte Sunglasses

 

I just ordered these fabulous navy and green sunglasses over the weekend and can't wait to get them. I never walk out the door here in South Florida without a pair of sunglasses on. The sun is really intense. I love this combination of blue and green.

Blue and Green Ikat for Spring

Brunschwig & Fils

 

This is so pretty and so many favorites here - ikat, gorgeous trim on the sofa, my favorite chinoiserie fabric Xian, a tortoiseshell coffee table, and the beautiful palette of blue and green. I love mixing patterns and ikat and chinoiserie are such a winning combination.

My New Foyer Plans

Inspiration Board 

I did this inspiration board quite a while back featuring pieces from The Pink Pagoda. I am crazy about using green with blue and white - such a crisp, clean, and happy color palette.

I knew the major pieces of furniture and art I that I own that I wanted to use in the foyer, but something was missing. Then I came upon this Dana Gibson lighting fixture below and the whole thing came together in an instant. I have ordered this for the foyer.

Everything else will be repurposed from things I already have.

These Kate Spade Posy Vases.

This pair of mirrored blue and white Chinoiserie prints from my former dining room.

Well, this gives you a good idea of the foyer game plan. The foyer has a pair of French doors and a nice high ceiling. When you walk in, you are immediately faced with sliders all along the back and the gorgeous view of ancient palm trees. Very Old Florida. I wanted pops of green in the foyer to introduce the explosion of green outdoors.

 I have ordered the Samplize paint samples and they are to arrive today.  I will post about how they work out. I have a great High/Low post, paint color decisions, and a couple more things I need help with planned for the week. Please stay tuned.

Closing is two weeks from Wednesday. I am counting the minutes.
