~ A Touch of Blue...~







I am becoming more and more fond of light blue colors. Robin's egg blue to be exact. What exactly is Robin's egg blue? Is it the trademark Tiffany blue, or is it like a light sky blue or perhaps a minty type blue if mints are even blue. Either way, I am getting drawn to it and was so inspired by it that I have painted my master bedroom a light silvery blue. Now the creams come in. Cream colored furniture, drapes and bedding. I think my bathroom will be a very contrasting chocolate brown. I think brown and blue together are one heck of a combo! I will work on posting before and after shots when I get moooving on this little endeavor. In the meantime, I am posting some pics with a little blue or not.

  6. Your photos are just breath-takingly beautiful! I too love those color combinations of blue with cream, and blue with chocolate brown. My favorite photo is that bedroom picture tho, it looks like it was made for a princess! I don't think that I could shut my eyes and sleep, cuz I would want to lie there all night and just enjoy the gorgous view of such a lovely bedroom! :-)

  12. I love your touch of blue! Blue is my fav color, & I love the white & creams.. My bedroom is a pale blue, & all the furniture is cream & white!
    My living room started out with blue sofa & chair, then I fell in love with shabby chic & neutrals, so white slipcovers came out furniture was painted white, but try as I might to make it all white, blues keet creeping in!:)~I think its a lovely combination, also love Brown & Blue! Wow~I love that first capture, & everything in it!!
    So beautiful!

  13. Me too! I think it is also that time of year, when a little colour cheers us up! I am a 'neutral shades' girl but duck egg, pale green, pale pink and sepia all feature somewhere in the house and my creations, even if only just a mere hint. Your combination of the blue with brown is beautiful...

JUST THE OTHER DAY I PULLED ALL OF MY BLUES TOGETHER IN MY SHOP AND CREATED A SOOTHING LITTLE CORNER. LOVE YOUR PICS!

  15. That robin eggs blue is my new favorite color too. Marshalls has some GREAT Brown with beautiful blue circles on them! I wish I had the guts to paint my walls blue... What the heck maybe I will. It's only paint. The worst that could happen is I don't like it & repaint. Right? Hurry post your photos to give me courage.
