Live Breathe Decor

I always love getting fabrics and fabric samples in the mail. It’s one thing to see a fabric in a photo but quite another to have it in your hands. Today I received this gorgeous blue and white hand-printed fabric. It’s ‘the vase’, a David Hicks design for Clarence House. I plan to use it in a house I am working on with lots of chinese blue-and-white ginger jars and vases and a splash of coral pink.

While I’m on the subject of blue, here is some more from a styling job (above and below);

and some more blue from my ‘inspiration files’ (so sorry I don’t know the sources):

Framed coral and blue buttoned ottoman, I want you both! See that top book on the ottoman (above)? It’s ‘Winter House’ by Charlotte Moss, and is one of my favourites for when I’m in the mood for warm, cosy, traditional style. I highly reccommend.

Blue bamboo chippendale chair, I like you a lot too! And those framed sketches hung on the bookshelves look great.

Blue and white is such a classic and wonderful combination, I never get sick of it!
