 2009-01-02 - A Passion For Blue and White
The book would have been beautiful if it had arrived in good condition. It was thrown in a box and arrived crushed and torn. My e-mail to Amazon was ignored and I have yet to receive a replacement. I will not be ordering from Amazon going forward.
 2008-12-15 - Dear Santa, I want THIS book for Christmas!
I love beautiful things and as a visual person, this book fills my soul. Carolyn Roehm is extremely talented and a national treasure. Thank you for a gorgeous, inspiring book.
Her antiques are quite beautiful and some museum quality, however, she has chosen some beautifully unusual ("quirky') pieces in her settings that make me crave the unique.
Maybe you cannot afford this style of decorating (few can), but we all can appreciate it and learn from the colors, objects, textures and patterns in these lovely settings.
2008-12-07 - Will give you a passion for blue and white
This book has the most stunning collection of color pictures of blue and white ever! Every room is inspiring, as are the suggestions for using blue and white as a theme for entertaining, or in the garden.
There are glorious antiques in drop dead gorgeous rooms, like the incredible Danish clock on p 49, or the guest room on page 81 with its mix or blue and white plaid and a Chinese blue and white floral pattern.
And who wouldn't be inspired by the blue and white garden scene, the white china bowls of fresh flowers, or on p 128 by the blue and white picnic.
2008-11-21 - This season's perfect gift!
This exquisite book is an endless source of inspiration. From the variations on blue and white to the fresh interpretations of classical design principles, Carolyne Roehm's beautifully photographed and impeccably designed book rewards repeated exploration and careful study. From museum-quality antiques in double-height rooms to crockery in the kitchen, Roehm's style illuminates, instructs, and begs emulation. With the informative text, it's like having a personal tour of her homes -- except you can stay as long as you wish!
2008-11-17 - Another Instant Classic
Every one of Carolyne's beautiful books sets the standard for its format. This latest gorgeous volume is informative and absolutely a pleasure to browse and read. Carolyne's impeccable taste and Sylvie Bequet's photos have created still another treasure for readers and fans.
