Gorgeous, I mean it is just Gorgeous, soothing, peaceful and restful. In my mind everything a room should be .Notice how they upholstered the alcove behind the bed and the great moulding around the opening. Let's talk textures, we have shine, brass and glass coffee table. The shiney end table which is alllllll glass,Yum. The rough texture of the sculptured carpet and the woven blinds under the beautiful drapes.This is a room that is done very well .
All blue and cream with touches of dark wood to ground the room. Looks inviting!
This room has plenty of places to sit or lay if you want to take a little cat nap. I would love to sit in a room like this with just the right amount of blue.
Here is a wonderful attic space done by designer Candace Olson. This is the way to work a room with blue.
I found the use of these benches an interesting choice over a regular chair. The carpet is gorgeous and the table helps ground the entire space. I love a big bowl of crisp green apples and the view is not half bad either. Speaking of blue in its best form, water.
This wall color is a blue more on the gray side so it remains soothing to eye.
This dining room is on the turqouise side of blue which happens to be Pantones color of 2010. I am sure you have all already read about that.This room makes me smile.
Loving the black bed in this all blue room
Now this is what I call a Master Suite. Even though the room just has just touches of blue it still has just the right amount of blue for me.
All I can say is Yum! I just know that telescope is for looking out at the Ocean.
I don't feel Blue any more but I sure want to see more Blue rooms,How about you, do you like blue in your rooms?

These rooms are all just beautiful Kathysue. I've seen the one that Candace Olson did and it's always been one of my favorites - love the green accents. And of course Cait's room is now blue, so I finally have a blue room! Hugs, Kat
ReplyDeleteKathysue, these are all just gorgeous. I am not a real blue person but I really do like these. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteLove Blue! Thanks for sharing all these awesome rooms.
ReplyDeleteLove the gray blues - The aqua is also a favorite , I've seen it in some bathrooms lately.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous images, Kathysue!

Ah, blue & white! You are speaking my language with those colors. I gravitate towards anything that is blue & white, so these pictures were really singing my song. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGreat Blues girl...you should of linked up for Blue Monday with this post...Hope you have a great week...stop over some time girl...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeleteKathysue--These rooms are lovely. Blue is my favorite color, but can be tricky to get right--especially on the walls. These rooms have just the right touch of blue!
ReplyDeleteDear Kathy,
ReplyDeleteBoy, have you been busy! I love these rooms. I could mover right in tomorrow! Your blog is looking wonderful!
Love,
Paula
I went through a phase of not wanting any blue but I am back with blue again. So pretty! And your blog looks great!!
ReplyDeleteI love blue, too. My dining room use to be dark blue, but after thirteen years I painted it yellow and love that, too. I still have touches of blue throughout the room in the blue and white pottery and in the fabrics, artwork and accessories. These photos you shared are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, thank you for stopping by again, it is always wonderful to hear from you, I miss our connection at Micasa. Hugs Kathysue
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I LOVE blue when it's done right! I think a lot of people don't like blue because they associate it with the "country blue" of the 80s and 90s, with the geese wallpaper borders, etc. Blue done in an elegant way is gorgeous! I knew that one room must have been done by Candace Olsen...love her style!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color blue, but I don't want lots of it in my home. I actually use turqoise (seaglass) as an accent color with browns and taupes. My favorite picture above is the bed...love that!

These rooms are so pretty, KathySue. The blue is so soothing. My favorite is the master suite and sitting area separated by a fireplace. I could stay there forever....Christine
ReplyDeleteI went through a blue phase and tired of it way back when, but now I am so in love with that grayed out blue. I would like to put some of it in my own home now. And that new turquoise is such fun! Once again, your photographs are beautiful, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely blues and grays. The photos of each room just makes you want to redo your entire home in blues. Love it.
ReplyDeletegreat photo selections. Winter white and blue go together! yay!
ReplyDeleteI just ADORE Candace Olsen. She is my favorite on HGTV for sure. I remember that particular room of hers.
ReplyDeletegorgeous! Love them all! Welcome to blogland! Can't wait to see more!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathysue,

Hi Kathysue, Im just getting around to seeing this post and I have to say its great to see all of those blues. I've always loved blue and now I see what you mean by "the gray side of blue". I agree it's hard to pick a favorite of all of these rooms, but I have to say when I saw the telescope I immediately thought of the ocean also. Im off to do my test with my adjectives of my rooms now.
