When my mother moved close to us into a new condo 10 years ago, she let me decorate...such a fun job. The den I had painted a true periwinkle with all white accessories and a blue & white striped couch. EVERY guest that came commented on it...it was so restful and pretty. Fun post, thanks for the memory!

Could see myself on that gorgeous sofa with a glass of white wine.<br /><br />I adore those shades of blue and have kept to that tranquility in the master bedroom/bath. But I've switched to greens/whites in the living and dining rooms. Just felt like a change, but didn't want to blow guests out with the orange (ugh!) that was last year's fashion (not that I change fashions all the time; certain colors are in the traditional family for a reason.)<br /><br />I had to chuckle when I read you chuckled (when you read my post.) Because one really has to laugh at this stuff.

I don't have blue anywhere else in my house but the new opened up area just called for the lovely freshness that blue and white gives - hopefully! Although my house is not filled with blue I do love to wear blue - especially navy blue!gilliecocohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13530458300946919930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-28576615768011178012011-02-15T22:20:00.248-05:002011-02-15T22:20:00.248-05:00Such pretty rooms and colours of blue!

Have just redone my kitchen counters, tho, and suddenly have a black and white kitchen with aqua walls. They just don't look right.<br /><br />Today I picked up a handful of paint color swatches - grays. The ones I like best are all a little blue, so perhaps I am moving in that direction!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-51285916548583585572011-02-15T20:18:13.814-05:002011-02-15T20:18:13.814-05:00Hola Jeanne!
