Blue & White porcelain & ceramic accents go all bold & beautiful on my bookshelves along with the selection of white ceramic. The flat vase is sitting pretty with the original oil of a boat dock in Oriental, NC.
My pictures are bit blurry (ok totally blurry) but you get the drift.... sorta'??? Sun was blazing in & I needed to get these posted for the Blue & White Link Up today over @ The Pink Pagoda. Maybe if you squint they aren't too bad.... ok I know they are down right crummy.... sorry.

Love how the blue & white compliments the old school brass & touches of gold. Now you know those little monkeys are adorable even blurry.
Below is a Kyle Highsmith of the home I grew up in. He is sorta' a big deal here in North Cackalacky*
*A nickname for North Carolina. Mainly used by people (military transplants) who are originally from the West Coast, especially from CA and more specifically Socal;) The word is used in good humor often to make light fun of the red neck ways of the South.
Now Head on Over to The Blue & White Bash @ The Pink Pagoda & see what everyone else is showing ~ it's an amazing symphony of blue & white!
I am from California and have never hear that expression. You photos are good enough to make me want to see more of your home. Love your bookshelf styling and your collection.
ReplyDeleteTHX, they were a work in progress..... took me while to figure it out. I think Sherry needs to sell book shelf styling on line; I would pay big bucks to have mine done.
DeleteI love the bookshelves!! The ceramic is great!! And also love the pops of gold!!

Thank you! They finally came together with the help of my sista!
DeleteI absolutely love green mixed with blue and white, its one of my favorites these days!!
ReplyDeleteGreat blog!
Well now thank you. These came together quite by accident.....
DeleteLove the green color on the back of the bookshelves! And....they look great! I need to do a little more thrifting to add to my collection...I gave my last batch to my sister:)
ReplyDeleteI was saying I wish you would pimp yourself out for internet shelf styling. I would pay a King's Ransom. These book shelves were the reason I drank in Dec. & January. February am drinking over my shelves in my dining room..... Pleeezzzzzzzzzzzzzz set up a shelf shop!
DeleteYou never cease to amaze me with your GORGEOUS home!!! This is so beautiful, will you please come style my bookcases next?
ReplyDeleteXOXO,

THX! I am trying to talk Sherry @ Design Indulgence into doing "cyber styling" as it is an art that does not come natural to me.....
DeleteYou have a beautiful collection and I especially love how you accented it with the green background of your bookshelves. I love green and blue together and it really makes your collection pop! You have a beautiful home...oh...and that giant ginger jar...LOVE!
ReplyDeleteHow kind! The green coordinates with my kitchen island & I love it! Most of the collection is courtesy of my sister who had a Bombay Outlet in her back door & she collected it "back in the day." Jennifer has large ginger jars in her shop. I have been scouting ebay, Marshal's, Ross & OKL for fill in stuff.
DeleteIt looks wonderful Junell! Love the mix of green, orange and the blue! That painting is perfect as well!
ReplyDeleteI love the blue and white against the green and there is nothing better than pops of old school brass.
ReplyDeletethis is amazing-
I am a new follower and off to see more of your house.
I joined in on the bash this time too-
isn't it fun to see all this blue and white in one place.

ReplyDeleteFestive for sure; Geicko Green from SW.
DeleteWhat a grenn combo... blue, white and green -- so fresh and fun! love seeing bits and pieces of your home!
ReplyDeleteWhile I love blue and green together, I never had thought about using traditional blue and white against fresh green. Your shelves are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean... it just sorta' evolved & really seemed to work. THX
DeleteLove the green backdrop to your amazing b&w collection! And those brass pineapples...love it!
ReplyDeleteMy sister & I have been scouring the countryside for the brass & so far have 5 pineapples!
DeleteYour house is like a jewelry box. It's absolutely FULL of gorgeousness. I think you should put a section on your blog of house photos. Also, these rooms would make for glorious magazine pages!! Thank you so much for linking this up today, Paige!
ReplyDeleteYou're so supportive. Honestly there is not one room completely done but you can bet s soon as it is I will have professional shots done & post. THX! This was fun.
DeleteWhat a lovely collection you have of blue & white and other treasures! I'm a new follower so I can see even more. :)
