In decorating, I have a love-hate relationship with the color blue. Growing up in Virginia, I have been surrounded by Williamsburg-esque decor my entire life. And I am not a fan. Most blues take me back to that era. Turquoise and periwinkle are great, but once you get into the powdery- steel blues or a true royal blue, I start to twitch a bit. I have recently come across quite a few inspiring blue rooms- updated and fresh with a contemporary twist.
Lately, I’m feeling blue.
I’ve always been gun-shy of blue…until we built our home two years ago and it was all I could think about when it came time to decorate my office! I lovingly refer to it as “Manolo Blue” channeling Carrie’s blue Blahniks in Sex and the City 🙂 http://www.lifeinyellow.com/2012/04/my-office-complete/
Oh, that library-office and the dining room with bright blue paneled walls! I’d never be brave enough … but they look incredible.
