"It so happens that cobalt is one of the few pigments that can stand the high f i r i n g t e m p e ra t u re s required of porcelain without the need of a second firing. When that rich, deep cobalt met that crisp, bright white, a start was born. The rest, as they say, is history." — Mario López-Cordero, co-author along the way. Equal parts grand tour and engaging narrative, Cherry meticulously shares the thought processes behind each material selected, site locations, and a productive partnership with the client.

DURSTON SAYLOR FRANÇOIS HALLARD B lue-and-white is a timeless color palette that always feels right and is wildly versatile in the emotions it evokes. The new book Blue and White Done Right: The Classic Color Combination for Every Decorating Style (Monacelli) by Schumacher/Frederic's Hudson Moore features more than 120 images of interiors that make a compelling case. From Bunny Mellon's forever fresh Upper East Side dining room designed with John Fowler that features cobalt crosshatched walls and blue-and-white striped curtains to a Zen minimalist cedar Sag Harbor bedroom by Tom Scheerer with a cornflower medallion-patterned upholstered bed, the rooms speak to the versatility and enduring appeal of this color combo.
