Decorating with Blue and White

I thought when I redecorated a couple of years ago that I could not use my collection of 'blue and white' with my new decor. Our main floor was decorated in reds and yellows for several years and I loved mixing blue and white porcelain in with everything.  But for some reason I decided it wouldn't work with my new aqua and white colors. 

 ~lol and a forehead slap~

So I loaned it all to my daughter and she displayed it for a while.  But when she and her husband bought their first home, she packed it all up and gave it back to me.

And I'm glad! 

 I've had a lot of fun over the past couple of months figuring out where to put it all.  Here is my desk when I last posted it.

And here it is now...

 The blue and white adds such a pretty contrast and I'm loving it!

And I like it with the aqua...

 even mixed with  crystal, mercury glass or aqua porcelain

 This is our old decor.  I think it goes beautifully with the golds and reds.

or something more formal

This is our entry hall.  It adds a touch of femininity to a rustic table.

None of mine is old.  I've picked it up over the years at HomeGoods and Hobby Lobby.  I've even ordered a few items (like the flower pot with the wire cloche on top) from Amazon. 

So my love affair is back on.  My daughter and I were shopping the other day and I spotted a pretty piece and picked it up.  She made me put it back down. But I think I need some ginger jars to go on top of my china cabinet! ;)

Have a beautiful weekend!

love and blessings~
