Quite right, blue and white

I'm in love with each of these three rooms below:

The to-die-for backsplash, the chairs (my nailhead trim obsession continues), the clean white palette - it's all so chic.

I'm a sucker for a bamboo chair and this one in bright cobalt with a crisp white cushion got me immediately.

Something about the eclectic mix of materials and styles in this eating nook really appeals to me. Wouldn't you love to nosh with some friends here and just hang out?

I know these three rooms span a few design styles, but they all really appealed to me. So what do they have in common?

They all include a palette of fresh blue and white.

Doesn't the blue and white color combo just feel clean, fresh and perfect for right now? (Hmm, that kind of sounded like a Noxzema commercial...) These three are definitely going up on my inspiration board for spring.
