This morning I received an e-blast from American decor retailer Williams Sonoma Home highlighting their collection of blue and white ginger jars and other ceramic accessories. I have always loved this look and still do! In fact I carry a few pieces like this at Penney & Company and can often be heard telling customers that blue and white goes with everything.
Well this morning’s e-blast led me on a cyber space journey that turned up lots of gorgeous images I just had to share. There are so many wonderful ways to incorporate blue and white into your home – hope this gets you started!
Clustered on a console or hall table, blue and white en mass is beautiful!
I carry blue and white ceramic garden stools like this at Penney & Co (see below) and people often ask what to do with them. Here is the most common decor use – as a stylish side table and the perfect place to rest a drink.

Blue and white always looks wonderful mixed with white upholstery, rattan and bamboo. In fact this coffee table is a lot like one I have at the shop now too! Great minds and all that!

Mixing taller and shorter pieces for a tablescape is a wonderful idea and lets you mix and match your different pieces. I carry similar small vases like these for under $10 at the shop.
And here are the Williams Sonoma examples that got this mornings musing started…beautiful…and pricey!!
And back to the real world…here’s a piece that’s a little kinder on the old budget. Why not give it a try? Blue and white is always right!
And to finish, I couldn’t resist this example of pairing blue and white with the warmth and bounty of fall. Gotta try this one myself soon!







Love the images – and love blue and white!
Love this!!! Just makes you feel good looking at them.

I adore blue and white porcelain but my go-to sources are Homesense and Bombay Co!
And don’t forget thrift shops!
