Hello Everyone!
Thank you so much for all your sweet and wonderful comments about my TOP 5 POSTS!
I do feel like you guys are family too since you've been a witness to one of the most important change in our life - the birth of SOPHIA!
It's funny how this blog started out to be an outlet for something so 'trivial' as home decorating and blossoming into some sort of personal journal already! I really do hope that someday, my kids will browse thru this little blog of mine and find out more about me and our life!
Anyway, back to the 'trivial' things! ;-)
Today I want to share with you the first of 3 rooms in our home which I call the
"WINTER BLUES" series.
Why? Well take a look...
 |
| Yup, the BLUE palate is definitely a stand-out! |
Despite the name, I am SO HAPPY with this "BLUES SERIES" !
Did I ever tell you that BLUE is my favorite color?
 |
| It was all REDS during the holidays |
 |
| My Blue ceramic collection is indeed growing |
I moved most of my blue ceramics from my Kitchen sink. Remember this?
 |
| My collection has grown from this already |
 |
| The ones on the right of the tray including the mini tea set and jar are from my mom |
 |
| Would you believe these flowers lasted all the way from my birthday?? I celebrated Dec. 23 and shot this January 10! |
 |
| The 2 biggest Ginger jars are scores from ROSS and the big one in the middle with the baby's breath (which are from Sophia's baptism -Dec.7- is my recent score from TJ Maxx Clearance :-) |
 |
| The plate behind is from an Antique store and did you notice that glass sticking out behind? |
 |
| See? It's a recent score from WISTERIA! |
 |
| I really love the vibrant color |
 |
| I added some blues too on my mirrored shelves. The dragon teapot is from my mom and the plates are a score from TJ MAXX |
I hope you enjoy this mini post-holiday tour of my Dining Room!
I'll be showing the Master bedroom/Nursery next time.
Hope you all have a Fabulous Week!
Stay warm!

Hi Mama Vel! I just adore how you can mix traditional with contemporary - and have it come out looking absolutely fantastic. You have some gorgeous blue pieces and they look so terrific massed together in groupings. Jane
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Vel. I love the architectural wall piece.
ReplyDeleteYour dining area is so pretty and the blue is perfect. I really love your ghost chairs too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Vel...Happy Belated Birthday and those flowers are a super pop against all that beautiful blue! :)
ReplyDeleteOh Vel, I have a cousin and Sil who's birthday was Dic. 23rd. Sorry I'm late wishing you the very best year ever, hon! Back to the 'trivial'...Your collection of blue and white is indeed growing. I love your plate display niches like. I too adore blue and white collect them. Love the tray and yes, our blogs are so much more than just trivial, they are a very special friendship we have among ourselves. I wrote and thanked you all on my New Year's Eve table post...did you ever read it? Hope so.
ReplyDeleteKisses to Sophie.
Hugs,
FABBY
Oh...and the Kartell ghost chairs are awesome! Always a favorite of mine.

I love your blue and white collection. It makes for very happy "winter blues!"
ReplyDeleteI love blue and white and you have such a great collection (lots of great bargains on it as well). The real beauty is how you have it all arranged. That is a talent, Vel! Good for you! Just beautiful!

I love your gorgeous blue and white pieces, they look so classy and elegant! You know what? I can't believe my eyes when I saw your glass coral! I had also gotten it recently during the clearance. I have been eyeing that piece for so long, so glad I waited for the sale! I got mine for about $20 (with tax and shipping and handling included)! It was such a beautiful piece, so worth the money! I can't believe we have the same taste! :)

Gorgeous and classy! From now on I love the blue too:-)
ReplyDeleteYou have a nice collection and this looks wonderful! The blue makes a great impact and that glass piece from Wisteria looks very interesting!
ReplyDeleteVel, your dining room made me "homesick" for my blue and white, which used to live in my kitchen (looked horrible with the new granite!). You have done a magnificent job (as always) decorating this room with such style and panache! The mirrored glass wall shelves are amazing, if they had nothing on them. However, they really do make the blue and white shine even more. Your wonderful ghost chairs allow the eye to travel immediately the blue and white. This is simply a huge "wow"!! Looking forward to seeing your other two rooms!
ReplyDeleteYou always inspire me, Vel. Just love all of the blue and white, the ghost chairs, and the mirrored shelves!! Happy Monday ~
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of blue and whites!!! Blue is also one of my favorite colors. And how awesome is the architectural wall piece - is that an antique Chinese screen? xo
ReplyDeleteYour collection is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHope it was a truly wonderful Christmas, and that you got to take the time to enjoy it! I think your "Blues" collection is so lovely, Vel.
ReplyDeleteOh, I see your collection has grown! Love it! The ginger jars are my fave. ;)
ReplyDeleteI envy you your blue and white collection! So lovely and your vignettes are so stylish! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving blue more and more these days! Your collection is absolutely beautiful and I still love your kitchen sink corner! :)
ReplyDeleteLoving all of these beautiful blues! Isn't TJ Maxx the best, by the way?? xo Kristy
ReplyDeleteI've got the blues! Love all the ceramics - they look like you picked them up at flea markets, not TJ Maxx!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful collection, Vel! I have a few pieces too. Ross is a great place to buy them at really affordable prices.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely collection. I also love the wooden artwork hanging on the wall, it really pops!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful, Vel! Your ceramics are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love blue and white ceramics and pottery! And your collection is gorgeous. Theres something so fresh about that blue and white combination. I've got the Winter Blues too. Craving sunshine!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your beautiful collection, Vel! Those ghost chairs are my favorite, too ~ such a great mix of styles in your dining room! Wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty.. Love the blue.... Well done..
ReplyDeleteOh I love your winter blues since I collect those blue and white items also.
ReplyDeletePlease email me and let me know where you got your Phillip Stark Ghost chairs. I am looking for those for my kitchen ,thanks
Your baby is adorable
Janice
I LOVE blue and whites. Many I see online are too expensive for my budget. Love the deals you have found on them and would love to get future info as to where they can be purchased. I love Home Goods and TJ Maxx for these surprises as well!
ReplyDeleteI love blue and white. Never grow tired of it.
