Rosecliff at Ralph Lauren Home

While out and about yesterday, I popped into the Ralph Lauren Ladies Mansion to see what was new at Ralph Lauren Home.  They had changed out the rooms for their new spring collections and I was blown away by Rosecliff which reflects "the casual grandeur of the coastal Northeast." They think of everything to make you feel like you're actually walked into a house in Maine including a soundtrack of the ocean and seagulls.  The weather is starting to feel like spring and Rosecliff could not be any more perfect with its shades of white and blue.  Now all I need is a house by the ocean. 













Blue and White Underfoot

While sourcing rugs for a project, I kept coming back to blue and white stripes and similar patterns.  There is something about them that is relaxed and casual yet crisp and sophisticated as in the Victorian Hagan room above.  Of course, they look perfect in beach houses which is maybe why they keep catching my eye at this time of year but they also look great in city apartments.  Now I'm even thinking that I might need one but you really can't go wrong with anything blue and white.  Enjoy!

UPDATE: My friend Eleanor just told me that Aspen Carpet Designs is a great source for flat weave Dhurry rugs similar to the one in Something's Gotta Give for a great price! Definitely check them out!

"I find it harder and harder everyday to live up to my blue china."
                                           - Oscar Wilde

Oscar Wilde might have had a hard time living up to his blue china but the interiors in these photos are completely uplifted by the addition of blue and white china.  I always love blue and white porcelain but it looks even more cheerful in the spring.  After looking at the rainy weather report for the week, I think we could all use a little cheering up today.  If you want to start your own collection, my favorite sources are the flea market, Middle Kingdom and Pearl River Mart.  Enjoy!
