28 May Indigo…Ballard Designs…and the southern coast of France
One of my favorite color combinations for summer is indigo (or navy) and white. It is fresh, clean and coast inspired.
I have been a customer of Ballard Designs for many years, and their latest catalog features many items in indigo and white that were inspired by the Cote de Sud, that romantic strip of French coastline.
Their Vera quilt features vintage block-prints hand screened in indigo and white
with coordinating shams and pillows.
Their La Rochelle Bedding adds crisp apple green into the mix.
Navy and white indoor/outdoor pillows will make your outdoor space a summer oasis.
Check out these fabrics they sell by the yard-
Toscana Ikat Blue Fabric
Callistro Stripe
Antibes Blue Fabric
This fabric is named after the quaint town of Antibes, which is situated between Nice and Cannes on the southern coast of France. Two year ago, I spent nine days there visiting my cousin Sarah and exploring the area. It is so beautiful- the rocky coast with beaches sandwiched in between, indigo seas, and old towns nestled up in the hillside.
For my birthday, Sarah took me to The Hotel du Cap for afternoon tea.
The Hotel was built as a private mansion and opened as a hotel in 1870.
Its restaurant, Eden-Roc, ranked 82ndin the Elite Travelers World’s Top Restaurants Guide 2012.
The hotel lobby was beautiful and embraced the blue and white color scheme…
Casual white slipcovered chairs and denim sofas
mixed with gold and glass tables, gorgeous art, chinese lamps and brass sconces.
Fresh flower arrangements in blue and white were everywhere!
I wanted to pack my bags and stay at
What about you- have you decorated with indigo and white?
