A Passion for Blue and White

This book follows in Roehm's tradition-- lavish photography combined with charming text wrap-arounds. I will use the book, as I have her others, as a source of inspiration when I need something new for a room or a party. This book is a treasure that I'm sure I will consult often. In addition to being a visual treat and a source of ideas, this book gives us little glimpses into her life-- sort of a coveted back stage pass. Roehm has a way of bridging social and economic gulfs. Although she is clearly quite wealthy, a lot of her ideas are affordable and guaged to my much more modest means. I also have found some great deals on her web site, again combined with high design content.

Once Again, Carolyne Roehm has produced an exquisite book with mouth watering layouts and informative text. She is in a class of her own when it comes to taste, beauty and pure fantasy in all levels of design and flower arrangement!

Perhaps America's most elegant and tasteful woman, Carolyne Roehm has again shown us that the surroundings we live in can be beautiful without pomposity. She makes it look so easy. I have read and collect all of her books and use them as inspiration for many of the hotel projects my group is involed with. Carolyne continues to evolve. She reinvents herself in the most subtle of ways. Her understanding of light, color, textures and mood is at the most refined levels. Her spaces are comfortable, very liveable and unpretentious. This book is a map for both the most sophisticated design navigator or the first time traveller of luxury living. I can recommend the book strongly. We all should aspire to live in a Carolyne Roehm space.

Carolyne Roehm is without a doubt the most gracious and talented designer of our time. All of her books are inspirational on so many different levels and "A Passion for Blue and White" is no exception. This book is the perfect hostess present or Christmas gift. I have purchased all of her books for my daughter and we have enjoyed sharing and learning the joys and art of entertaining, decorating and building a home through Carolyne's discerning eye. Sitting down with "Blue and White" is a vacation for the eye, a call for serenity and a beautiful respite. The photographs are extraordinary and once again breathtaking. Blue has always been my favorite color and it is celebrated brilliantly in this lovely book. Bravo!!!

I have bought all of Carolyne Roehm's books----they are truly
masterpieces. Every subject she tackles is done in such beautiful
and stunning photography, and her pages and her ideas are so
inspiring and totally useful. Miss Roehm is on a higher level
when it comes to stunning creativity and imagination, and she
presents it in such a way that gives me smart and original ideas
that I can use. This woman is a spectacular talent. Nobody
does beauty like this!!!!!!!!!!
