I'm definitely a blue person. Love these images. How could anyone not love a blue room?
ReplyDeleteTypically I'm not a blue person but I would take that second image bedroom in a nanosecond it's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIm blue all the way! Those were some great pictures! Definitely has a soothing and calming element to it!
ReplyDeleteA couple of years ago, I moved to Dana Point so that my son could take advantage of the Drama Department at Dana Hills High. I didn't realize that one of the side benefits was going to be my daily walk at the beach. I always marvel at the colors; blue/green water, blue sky...last night mother nature decided to accent all her blues with the yummiest pinks and corals.
ReplyDeleteAll of your pictures are just beautiful! Thank you for a lovely post.
All the best, Cindy
I love blue; especially in bedrooms. I'll take all shades; baby blue, turquoise; and my favorite.... navy.... The artwork in the third photo is incredible.
ReplyDeleteno, not a blue person but these rooms are to die for and could almost create a convert here!

Blue is a color, in all its tints and hues, that we're being asked to use in many of our design schemes these days and Sally and I love it. Can't pin point why... The economy? Or simply a reaction to the trendy citrus colors we've been seeing - kind of like a complimentry color thing?
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Love love this post. I actually found myself taking a deep breath, I guess what they say about blue is true. It is an involuntary decompression that happens. The same thing happens when I go into my own Master bedroom, which is a soft blue and cream combination. I have always had a blue master bedroom and I guess after 40 some odd years I always will, Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI ADORE the fabric on that chair in the first picture and that bedroom is really, really amazing! I had heard that about warding off spirits - apparently that's why the houses in Greece are painted blue and white...I didn't know that until recently! Beautiful post - nicely done!
ReplyDeleteReally fabulous...I need blue note paper!!! Always have loved blue.
ReplyDeleteI love the sofa with the blue stripe. Every photo is more beautiful than the next! Great post!

I'm a true-blue gal! I'm obsessed with it, my family and friends would say...
ReplyDeleteEvery room in my cottage is in pale blue and white, with gold leaf accents.
I design my own fabrics and wallpapers so I get the shade of blue I like, and patterns, just right.
I am slowly decorating my way through each room with my own patterns.
Thank you for the inspirational photos! I especially love the Gustavian blue chest with the white detailing...
