One lady who does blue well (understatement of the year) is Fiona Douglas. Her own house was featured in a Design Sponge Sneak Peek and do yourself a favor and check it out. The relaxed vibe and the florals are just over the moon perfection to me. A few images from that house tour are found here today.

I have never seen the balustrades painted like this and I think it's genius!! I want to try this!

Sweet little vignette. The color of that mirror is so sick, but it's less candy-colored because of the stain she probably used on top. The stain dirties it up a bit.

This seems so cozy, more appropriate for autumn or winter but I love all of the rich colors in this space.
Eeek... unknown source!
Relaxed but sophisticated with earthy tones. You can just breathe easy in this room, can't you?

I love the feel of this dining nook... except, it doesn't seem to use the space that well, since it's a round table with two bench seats. Know what I mean?

One of my all time favorite office spaces. Obviously, the focal point is that ridiculous wallpaper. But it's a functional space as well. The shelf along the wall provides storage, but one shelf keeps it streamlined. Many shelves would just cover up that gorgeous print!

Fiona Douglas of Blue Bell Gray again. Brilliant.

Emily Henderson's office is functional and cool looking. That chair! It almost makes sitting down to work a bit of a luxury!
I don't think I could live in a space like this, but ohhh I enjoy looking at it.

Here's a cool triptych I'd like to try to recreate. It has so much movement and depth, but it would be seriously inexpensive to make.

Dreamy and beachy. Now, this gets pretty darn close to a theme, which I am intrinsically against. I guess there are exceptions to every rule? In fact, this picture is serving as inspiration for one of my client projects right now.

Last bit of eye candy from Fiona Douglas.

I hope you have a beautiful Wednesday and these blues help to provide a sense of calm today.
I always love the color blue. It looks calm, serene and peaceful. To show my dedication to the color, I painted my front door with dark blue. I thought it would look hideous, but it turned out to be a smart decision on my part.
