Moodboard Monday - Blue and White Delight

Good morning everyone! Can't believe it's Monday again already!

As you will see below, we are going to enjoy a "perfect pairing" of blue and white today and in order to keep the post a little shorter than previous moodboard posts, I've restricted the images to interior ideas only (and that includes art).

Let me know if you like the longer or shorter moodboard posts - would love to hear from you!

Thanks for dropping by today and hope you have a wonderful day!

Enjoy!

Palm Beach Villa

After a couple of days of black and white images and cloudy skies in Charlottetown, I need a dose of sunshine!

So-o-o-o, let's take a little trip to Palm Beach where sunny skies pour down over what is considered the prettiest town in all of America.

Strategically situated on the waterfront sits a grand villa that exudes sumptuous charm inside and out. You need only to glance at the yellow stuccoed, Palladian featured villa, surrounded by palm trees and stone balconies and stairs, to realize someone has given a lot of thought to making the most of its very special circumstances.

Having purchased this 1920s John Volk designed home years ago, the present owners worked with architect, Thomas Kirchhoff, to bring the home up to its present standards.

The American diplomat and his wife had spent stints in Europe and with her background in design and love of art, she has managed to lighten and brighten the previously darkened interiors with her swaths of custom colored Donald Kaufman paints in shades of blue that blend beautifully with the sea and sky.

With her wonderful shades of blue on the walls, blue and white ceramics, vases of fresh flowers throughout, mirrored furniture (for reflection), antiques, unique art work, and scads of luscious fabrics, the overall result is a breath of fresh air.

Notice the Picasso and Matisse studies on each side of the fireplace. The buffalo check window treatments certainly lend a relaxed feel to the living room.

The dark antique Chinese cabinet holds Roman glass.

Love this mirrored hutch filled with a collection of blue and white ceramics. Notice, also, the fabric panelled walls.

Soothing, calm and so, so pretty!

Moodboard Monday - Vivid Red

Good morning, Everyone!

Hope you all had a great and relaxing weekend......it went by far too fast for me.

Time is flying by and it will soon be time to get out the holiday decor and with that in mind, I guess I'm leading into the Christmas colors with this 'Vivid Red' post..........red being the all-time favorite holiday color.

Also wanted to let you know that this will be the last moodboard for now as I am going to start some holiday posts later this week. I will also be limiting my posts to Monday, Wednesday and Friday beginning this week.

Enjoy and have a wonderful week!
