Decorating with blues and white

A very, very Happy New Year to all of you!

Have you made your resolutions yet? I haven´t. I have never, ever made a New Year resolution. I guess it´s a tradition we haven´t picked up in Argentina. Nobody makes resolutions here, at least nobody I know. However, if you have made a resolution, they say (well, I read it somewhere!) stick to it for 6 weeks and it´s yours to keep. It takes that long to form a (good) habit! Too long, huh?

On this first day of our brand new year I´d like to show you a selection of rooms in blues and white and maybe a touch of another colour.


I have posted this pic before, but it´s worthy of showing up many times. Love the blues and combination of fabrics.

Ok, Alec, I think these slipcovers are cute, but why, oh why didn´t you iron them before taking this picture?

Love these iron twin beds.


Light blue in this and next pics spells summer, and beach, and sunshine.


What do you think about the lampshade having the same stripes as the pillows? Is it just perfect or is it over combined?


Stripes, dots and flowers. Hard to combine but they work here!














Love the arch of the window.





I like the blue and white vases and jars but those chinese figurines scare me.





Orange and blue? It works!






Today is 01/01/10, nice number!

Photographer Rachel Whiting

Getting all ready for New Year's celebrations? Can you believe this year is nearly over? I can't, you can't, nobody can! Well maybe just the little ones can. I remember when I thought the year 2000 would never come and we used to say something like: yeah, you'll manage to do that when pigs fly or in 2000, as if this would never come. Here in Argentina when we think something will never happen we say it will "en el año verde" (the green year) which of course does not exist. My goodness who invented that!

As you may have noticed I'm posting every other day instead of every day. I'm on holidays and I seem to have so much more to do than when I'm at home. Anyway, today I'd like you to meet London based freelance photographer Rachel Whiting who specializes in interiors and still-life. Her work has been featured in Country Living, Homes & Antiques and Country Style.
I love the simplicity of her images. She manages to balance and combine shapes and colours to create these enchanting photographs.

Come and enjoy with me!
