Thinking About Blue


I was thinking.....
I have a new job coming up and they want to use 'blues.'
I don't do much blue.
...so this is me doing some research.

I have always enjoyed blue and green.
It is nature, and I like taking my cues from nature.

How can you go wrong?



Then there is blue & grey.
It is cool and sophisticated.

Is this not gorgeous?

Then there are multi-colored garden floral fabrics
 that I can find and be inspired by if need be.

Some do purple and blue.
How about you?

Cobalt Blue.



Soft blues, beiges and tans.

Blue and coral or orange.

The old stand by;
Blue & White.


I did a home in Nantucket that was blue, cream and red, 
with a teensy tiny bit of charcoal grey.
Strong blues coupled with strong reds.
It was fabulous.

The color combo was taken from a Jacobean fabric 
I found at F.S. Schumacher.
We can always do yellow and blue.
A classique!!!

Which BLUE is you?
I have made my mind up....
it's going to be the blues, and the red tomato bisque.

Beautiful blue + white living room + painted floors: Martha Stewart

Love all the color gradation in this room -- sky blue, powder blue, turquoise, teal -- and the unexpected shot of color from the floor is fabulous. And the dresser! And that throw pillow on the left! And, and! Oh, Martha.

Walls are painted Vintage Map; trim is Chamois Cloth; floor is Anjou Pear, all by Martha Stewart Paint. The knobs and detailing on the dresser are painted Vintage Map to match the walls.
