I’m swooning over this gorgeous Palm Beach villa from Veranda Magazine.  Blue and white is one of my favorite interior color combinations.   The way it is used here feels so fresh, yet still offers tons of interest through print and pattern and dimension with the various shades of blue.  The pops of lime green and leaf green are the perfect accents to complete the color scheme, especially for the balmy Florida climate.

At the very least, it’s time to buy more blue and white vases.  It is incredible how much they add to each room.

Here are some of my favorite decorating ideas for the Christmas season.  I am especially loving greens mixed with paperwhite narcissus – it gives a lightness and modern feel to the traditional greens.  Incorporating some delft blue looks even more amazing. And nothing feels more fresh than mixing in some citrus to wreaths, topiaries, and garlands.  Oranges, lemon, and limes, oh my!
