Spirits instantaneously lift at the sight of cobalt and cream dancing across crisp tablescapes, timeless interiors, or well-cultivated gardens. In celebration of this always-fresh color combination, our special Victoria Classics issue Blissful Blue & White offers inspiration for incorporating this romantic duo into every aspect of hearth and home. Drawing from our library of books, we revisit favorite spaces, gather swaths of leafy hydrangeas, and open a correspondence desk filled with a cache of elegant cards and letters. French country aesthetics inform the design of a home in the heart of Texas as well as a Provençal farmhouse that brims with furnishings procured in Paris and favorite brocantes. Collectors will revel in the alluring assemblages of ironstone, vintage inkwells, and heirloom china. Finally, we invite the always perfect palette to bring charm to guest rooms, special occasions, and afternoon tea.
