   This is a ‘Snap!’ post for me – I have hardly any blue in the house, but I do have a stash of fresh and pretty blue striped bedlinen. Maybe blue is less of a commitment in textiles. (And your site loads well on my IE and Safari browsers)

   Hi Alek – I have a navy and white bedroom (see today’s post) – I think anything lighter is for children, beachhouses (or cabins!)

   By the way YES your website is loading incredibly slowly ie it takes about 10 minutes, Safari is my browser on this computer, it tells me there is a slow script on your website. I have no issues on my other computer which uses IE. Better get those techheads on the job.!!!

   I love blue and I love stripes so it’s no surprise that I love ticking! I have a few yards of it in the press upstairs waiting for me to get around to using….

   Hi Alek
   Blue & White is an absolute for me. Although lately I’ve been doing all white in the main bedroom. The blue & white stays in the spare room and various rugs and cushions that I interchange. Love all of this and think it is the perfect fresh look for a cabin. PS I’m having no issue with loading your page [I use IE8]

   I’m doing the master bedroom in our new house in blues and greens. This weekend, I purchased a blue and white ikat comforter for our bed.

   A few little tears have run down my cheeks looking at this gorgeous post Alek. MOTH proposed marriage only on the promise that I wouldn’t have any blue in our house. Just like the wallpaper issue, he has same thing about blue. All to do with that Other Wife. And I so love it, sob, sob.
   No issues here with your Blog, I use IE8 too.

    I’ve definitely been loving Blues and whites recently. I already have a blue couch and my turquoise bedrooms walls will soon be a BM Polo Blue.

    I love the stripes, there’s something so basic about them but they look so good!

    I’ve never been a blue person, but lately turquoise, darkest -blue-green, and navy seem so right. And I LOVE old french blue + white ticking. Beautiful photos.

    your blog has been loading a bit slower for me (i use firefox), but it’s not too bad.
    you don’t have blue in your house?! obviously, i like blue a lot. our bedroom is a light blue and it’s really calming (and i kind of need all the help in calming down). hehe.

    Hi Alek,

    I don’t have any blue in my apartment….yet. I do plan to use to use teal or turqouise in my bedroom. I have an ottoman that’s in desperate need of reupholstery. It will be done so in teal. It’s one of my favorite colors, actually.

    I’m def more of a green kinda gal. I have all shades of green. I adore navy though, thinking of painting my kitchen cabinets navy. Hum. What do you think?! I have blue and white chinese pottery in my house and that is about it, and some New Zealand photography which has blue. I also want to have two upholstered dining chairs at the ends of my table, which I might do in a blue/green velvet. So many ideas! I love the casualness of these photos!!

    Oh how I love that first picture….I have four bedrooms and three of them have iron beds….I love them…I tend to stick to white bedlinen, but that ticking looks great…I’ve never been a blue person but it does look lovely…really fresh…I will investigate blue further !!!!! XXXX

    I grew up with parents who rarely looked beyond navy blue for fashion and decor, so it look me a LONG time to even consider any blue for myself. Lately though, I have started to accept and even embrace it at times. These stripes are perfect examples of blue done well! (And your page loads fine for me, I’ve been using Chrome)

    I love everything about that second image…the twin cots, the french ticking mattresses, the lovely fringed throw…beautiful!

    I use IE and have had no problems with your blog.

    Ok, so just as I submitted my comment, a note appeared on my screen saying that a script on this site was causing internet explorer to run slow…I have no idea what this means, but it seems that there is a glitch afterall. Good luck!

    I loove blue and white stripes! Fresh and modern without being cold. I’d be happy to add a link to your blog on my blog page, I have a small number of blog links there and love your pictures. I hope you enjoy your Sept Vogue, but if you find it to be too high-end heavy as I did, check out Harper’s Bazaar and Lucky, they did a much better job of showcasing affordable fall fashion in my opinion.

    My parents have a ton of blue and white in their house…because of that I moved away from it when I got my own place- I was being rebellious by doing green

    And I have had no issues with your blog…everything is working the same for me.

    I’m not a huge blue fan, but I do enjoy these. Also, I was thinking the delicate blue stripe would be lovely on a throw pillow.

    Btw, your site is loading really slow on Safari for me. Just wanted you to know.

    I am a blue-a-holic. I have a grey/blue sofa in my living room, my bedroom is also painted a grey/blue, and if you check out my blog posting today, you’ll see I’m doing a VERY blue den for a client!

    I was about to say that I don’t have any blue – and then I remembered my back room with the blue couch and blue rug and blue blanket. Woah. Talk about mental block.
