Style -- Good China
Trend toward blue and white
Tracy Bulla -- Home Accents Today, 6/1/2006
Blue and white is trend-right this summer, hitting the mark with china and porcelain-inspired patterns. While the look says timeless classic, the fresh face of blue and white showcases a broader interpretation of tradition gone current. Not just for company, bring on the blue and white for everyday sophistication.
