Thoughts of Blue



As we say goodbye to January and welcome February, the days are feeling a bit longer and the sky a bit brighter. At least six more weeks of wintry weather are still ahead of us, so thoughts of blue are on my mind today. While many people favor more saturated hues of crisp blue with white, I prefer softer shades mixed with neutrals that remind me of sand and sky.











Cooler shades with pale grey show the Scandinavian influence. The yellow really makes it sing.






Sky blue works in just about any room and any locale. It is truly universal and adaptable.









Even a hint of blue, as in the inside of a cabinet, elevates a neutral palette. Notice the bright yellow bird cage in the corner. Just as in the image of the hallway above, it adds a further bit of sunshine to blue and neutral.
