Yesterday morning was kind of like this… Bright, sunny, beautiful. The daffodils bloomed. I sat outside in short sleeves for three hours getting sun, did yoga on the porch. It felt like Spring was on the way. By noon, it was forty-nine degrees. By six, ice was starting to fall. So, we guess we’ll just keep dreaming of blues!
The wonderful part is that, no matter what the sky decides, inside, it can be that perfect blue any time of year!
The flowers can bloom all year round…
And, sometimes, those inside accessories are so lovely that they can tide us over until we’re barefoot on the beach again! (We’re loving everything Aerin Lauder lately. What about you?)
Plus, the cold isn’t all that bad. Especially when you have a comfy gorgeous chair to curl up in and read a good book!
Blue is one of our favorite accents in a white, bright kitchen. It’s perfect for barstools!
Of course, there are no inside blues that can even touch the ones that Mother Nature creates. In any season, this is so spectacular.
Blues can be rich and elegant,
Whimsical and fun,
Or bright and laid back.
The shades and tones are so versatile and blend together so seamlessly.
In layered, sophisticated pattern on pattern,
Or bright touches on a cheerful porch, blue is far from basic! And this puppy seems to like it too. In no time at all, we’ll be spending all our days outside and the winter weather will be a distant memory. For those of you already savoring spring, please send some more our way!
Wherever you are and whatever the weather, we hope this is a weekend to remember!
This post makes me long for blue skies and springtime! I feel like I have been living in a black and white movie up here this winter. But, lucky for me, I am headed south on Sunday for a dose of sunshine and southern food! Have a wonderful weekend, ladies!
Beyond beautiful, as blue just never gets old. Love it….and would love it even more if spring like weather finally starts coming…enough is enough! Enjoy your Friday.
will this winter ever end?? thanks for the inspiration y’all!!
Blue and white is such a classic and you have showed us so many classic beauties in this post. Have a great weekend,

Blue is so refreshing, especially if it’s against the backdrop of a sunny day! Hope you have a great weekend ladies!

Isn’t it amazing how uplifting the blues can be? TFS.
I never seem to tire of blue and when it’s mixed in with a lot of white, all the better! Have a great weekend!

Gorgeous rooms of beautiful blues…my favorite…love the Aerin Lauder tray…saw her speak at High Point…such a talent!
Beautiful blue hues, ladies! Have you seen Aerin’s new blue shagreen collection – it’s gorgeous. We have deep blue sunny skies today but the temps are in the single digits. No daffodils here for a while… Have a great weekend!

I am so in love with blue and have been all my life. Can someone tell me where I may purchase the large blue buffalo print drapes?
Thank you,
