Poetry for the eyes!!! I felt a twinge of envy when I read the book. Good taste, refinement and finesse are qualities I don't have. Carolyne Roehm has the innate capacity to create stunning beautiful settings.
Thanks for sharing it with us. When everything around us is falling apart, the only thing we have left to lift our spirts is beauty.

This ingenious and talented author has really out done herself with her newest and 9th book! What an exquisite presentation of my favorite decorating palette. The over-sized book, with smooth pages that are luxurious to the touch, is filled with endless inspiration for dining, decorating, gardening and entertaining. This book goes beyond the theme of blue and white, by demonstrating how those basic colors can be the backdrop for other accent colors. Carolyne Roehm just does it better than the rest of us, and I intend with this book to learn how! With A Passion for Blue and White by my side, I shall carry off my next decorating project or dinner party with aplomb! Her website is a companion source for this wonderful book as well. This would make a beautiful gift - or a well-deserved treat for yourself! Even better, bundle this up with A Passion for Parties and A Passion for Flowers-now there's a gift that can't be beat.
