A few months ago I picked up a used book at My Sister’s Closet in Chamblee. I wanted to share it with you and never got around to scanning. Lately I was reminded of it because Carolyn Roehm’s A Passion for Blue and White was showing up all over the blogs. It’s on sale at amazon for $37.80. However, while I’m sure that’s a gorgeous book, I am loving the Stephanie Hoppen book I picked up for $5 (it’s at around $17 at amazon right now). It’s called Blue and White Living and though it was published ten years ago, it’s amazing how current it is, though I suppose blue and white is a classic that never goes out of style. Hoppen picked up on wallpaper prints, exotic Mexican and Moroccan touches, great bookcase arranging and even the ikat that’s so hot right now. Here are a few images from Hoppen’s book:

Being a “blue person”, I am going to look for “Blue and White Living”. Love the cobalt blue vases in the bookcase arrangement—-and the reflection of the blue in the crystal chandelier.
