Over the last few days, I’ve been pouring over all things blue and white while searching for inspiration for our family room… I have also been in a fevered hunt for a budget-friendly blue and white fabric for custom drapes! I would like to incorporate touches of animal print, bamboo, seashells, a seagrass rug, and a palm leaf fan. All of these elements are featured to perfection in Barclay Butera‘s fabulous Newport Beach home. I could look at each of these rooms for hours!
I’ve seen most of these gorgeous images floating around Pinterest for some time now, but I didn’t realize they were all from the same home. SO gorgeous! This feature ran in the October 2007 issue of Traditional Home.

August 24, 2013 at 10:25 amThats a serious dose of blue and white. For me, its practically what my whole house is and I love it, but some of those rooms are almost too much. I do love the way he added the dark woods and touches like leopard…beautiful.
