I love a fresh blue and white palette. Its a classic scheme with universal appeal and you’ll often find me using it in my interior design work – in fact I’m just now creating an uber chic take on this color scheme for a new client of mine. I’ve turned to David Duncan for a few select items as he always has the most stylish and fabulous offerings. Happily for me, I found all that I needed here to get my new design off to a most brilliant start!

Etagere at David Duncan Antiques.
A five-tier French Directoire style etagere (right) to hold masses of blue and white delft porcelain – I’m using blue and white delft throughout the room, including the pair of very large covered jars that are flanking me in the photo at top – Duncan even has a chandelier composed of Blue and white delft porcelain that is quite tempting.
Sitting amongst the stunning collection I’ve culled from Duncan’s treasures (at top), I’m wearing a dusty pale blue suede biker jacket, pale blue cashmere turtleneck, and blue, gray, black and forest green check wool/cotton pants all by Gucci, black leather “windsor” loafers by Yves Saint Laurent, forest green leather gloves by Sermoneta – my fragrance is “Windsor” by Creed.
