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.

He's got a book full of fabulous as well – you would love it!
I'm in love with navy and white right now. With a touch of black and gold. What a great house. Not to feminine, or masculine. Perfect balance…..

Thats 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.
Very Billy Baldwin. Love the sophistication of his blue & white vibe with those West Indies accents.
Great house! A lesson in using dark & light in blue & white décor.
I loved it. Looking forward to seeing your house reveal!
Andrea how gorgeous. I know you will make your room into a thing of beauty!
I love Barclay's use of a lot of bamboo as well.

Such fresh looking spaces. Love the relaxed feel!
He is one of my favorite designers…love his new book!
Such a beautiful classic look that you will never tire of.
Looks great! The vases add this slightly oriental look to the whole decor. Nice.
Drooling over here.
