Here is my interpretation of blue and white.

There are three small windows next to my front door. 

Top

Bottom

Middle

Since we moved in, I hadn't really known how to "dress" these windows. 

I also knew that I wanted to use a collection of blue & white (or imitation Delftware) somewhere. 
 

Bingo!

I love win-win solutions!

I went to Hobby Lobby and paid less than $50 for these three pieces. The most expensive was the ginger jar on the bottom (which if I had remembered the 40% off coupon from their website would have made my total price even less). The smaller jar and candlestick on the upper shelves were both on sale for 50% off.

I like the cohesiveness that the repeating pattern creates for this area. To make sure that none of the pieces were too large, I used my iPhone to measure before I went to the store. The width was a bit over one horizontal iPhone wide.

The rug is new. I ordered it from IKEA and it arrived over the weekend. It's a perfect size for our entry at just a bit over 4x6. It's great at absorbing the snow we track in. 

And we have a lot of snow!! This is the pile at the end of our driveway, with a seven-year-old to demonstrate just how high the pile is. All that snow is why I paid for shipping on the IKEA rug.
