Blue and White in the Spring

Easter Decor and Blue and White 2

This afternoon as I created this space in my kitchen sitting area, I was amazed at the fact that blue and white

once again works with everything.
Using it in the spring became obvious when I found this chinoiserie bunny while ‘exploring’.

His ears were intact, and he was part of a pair!

I added a blue and white standing egg I have, pink begonias, and greenery.

And then I stepped back and smiled because blue and white, in all of its classic beauty (to me),
was doing its job once again.

If you have never tried blue and white porcelain pieces in your home, you must.
It’s a game changer.

I have blue and white throughout my home year round, but in the spring, it is especially pretty.

I have even used it on my front porch.

Are you changing your home for spring?
Do you have any decor favorites you use each year?

Blue makes everything look fresh and new. You style it well in your home, Laura. I have very little blue in my home decor, as I lean towards neutrals with pops of black. This coming Summer I plan to paint and redecorate our master bedroom and bath. I have been collecting textiles with blue tones for a subtle transition.
I wish you a wonderful week!

Very pretty...it is hard to choose which I like best, the bunny or the egg, smiles. Yes, I change things out, bring out more color. Maybe I will make a post about that sometime this week.

Thanks for the smiles...always a pleasure to visit here. Blessings

I mentioned just yesterday that I needed to make some spring changes around the house. I love what you've done here.

No one does blue and white quite as well as you, Laura. Your vignette is beautiful.

I'm using blue and white for spring this year! I'm loving it!

I've been meaning to tell you that the day you posted about those beautiful plates you are collecting, I went to an antique mall and saw one. I knew what it was right away because I had seen it here on your blog!

Came over from Linda's party as soon as I saw the blue and white. I have a very large collection too! I have 2 blue and white eggs also that are currently on my coffee table. I have blue and white all over right now, really featuring it for Spring and summer. Love your bunny and the egg. I would LOVE to find a bunny like that!

Pondside said...

For me it's always about blue. Blue and white. Blue and yellow. Blue and pink. Blue and apple green. I love blue!

Wow Laura, what a beautiful vignette. Loving your pretty blue and white collection. The bunny and egg are so awesome. I don't have any blue in our house, so I am getting my blue fix from you. Thank you for sharing your lovely collection at our link party on Sundays.

Laura,

I too am adding touches of Spring to my home, and enjoying every moment of it.
Your classic and timeless collection of white paired with some Easter and pink is enchanting!
This little bunny is delightful.

Your blue and white pieces are so pretty. That combination is found in my home - it's my all time favorite and plays so well with other colours, too. Sweet bunny.
