Kurzbeschreibung
“Nature’s quintessential color combination of blue and white never ceases to amaze me. The look of pristine snow against deep blue Aspen skies; spires of blue and white delphinium in a garden; Connecticut’s spring mornings where the apple blossoms and nodding heads of white narcissus are in contrast to soft blue skies and vibrant green grass—these and many more images found in nature have informed my work for the last thirty-five years. From fashion to interiors, and tabletop to gardens, the presence of blue and white is a constant in my past collections as well as throughout my previous eight books. It seems natural that I would eventually do a book on living and designing with this seminal color combination.”
—from the Introduction
This private tour of the dazzling homes of legendary style-setter Carolyne Roehm showcases her favorite color combination in more than three hundred glorious photographs.
From the time designer Carolyne Roehm rented her first small apartment in New York in her twenties, she has loved blue and white. In that one-bedroom flat, she draped the walls, chairs, sofa, and a canopy bed in an inexpensive blue and white sheeting fabric designed by her boss, Oscar de la Renta, and began collecting blue-and-white porcelain from around the world—initially bargain reproductions and eventually museum-quality pieces—from China, Japan, Portugal, the Netherlands, and elsewhere.
Today, Carolyne Roehm presides over a magnificent duplex in Manhattan, an antique-filled stone house in Connecticut, and a chic yet rustic home in Aspen, all of which contain rooms decorated in blue and white, featuring accents from her collections of china, ceramics, glassware, linens, furniture, and decorative pieces. These rooms employ the whole spectrum of blues, from delicate sky to the deepest, boldest navy, evoking moods ranging from tranquil to vibrant.
In A Passion for Blue and White, Carolyne Roehm takes us inside her homes (including her former pied-à-terre in Paris) in never-before-seen photographs of these stunning rooms. She also reveals how she has used blue and white to magnificent effect outdoors in Connecticut around her pool and in her gardens—and even how she used the combination in designing a wedding for a friend.
She provides inspiration for tabletop design, flower arranging, and gift-wrapping, suitable for all budgets. Her ceramic, textile, and glass collections (endless sources of her creativity) can be emulated by anyone with trips to flea markets, thrift shops, and inexpensive import stores as well as antique stores and galleries.
A swatch of French fabric began Carolyne Roehm’s lifetime love affair with blue and white. In this book, she demonstrates through her own decorating and designs, how this combination works its magic on everything from upholstery and drapes to napkins and tablecloths, wrapping paper and ribbons. For anyone with a passion for blue and white, here is the ultimate style guide and Carolyne Roehm’s most gorgeous book yet.

Very Very BEAUTIFUL!!!
31. Oktober 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I love all of her books and this one is no exception.
This book is packed with ideas about flowers, color, table decoration and just living in general. The photographs are so saturated that you feel as if you're in the book! If you appreciate beauty, you will get pleasure just from leafing through it!
If, on the other hand, you're the jealous type and you're going to miss all of the beauty by focusing on the cost of everything- save your money.
If you're creative and you're inspired by someone who has tremendous energy and creativity- this book is packed with ideas for you!!
I love it!

This book is perfection!
13. November 2008
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
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.

Carolyne Roehm has done it again! What an incredibly beautiful book." A Passion for Blue and White" documents a lifetime of collecting in the best of taste. Sylvie Bacquet has captured Carolyne Roehm's fantasy in exquisite photographs of china patterns, fabrics, flowers and dogs. Every page contains inspiration which is adaptable for any person with a discerning eye. Flower arranging, furniture placement within a room, color choice, proportion of pieces, wall treatments, window treatments and many more elements are examples of Carolyne's well developed approach to design. This is an extremely useful as well as beautiful book which is a great Christmas present for anyone who loves to learn by being exposed to the best.
