    Those blues are so beautiful. That 2nd room is so calm and tranquil. I've just realised I don't have a single bit of blue in my house except for my blue and white china collection. I wonder how that could be allowed to happen after seeing those rooms!

    Ah, what beautiful shades of blue Leigh. Just gorgeous. I must admit that I'm so often drawn to blue when I paint, it's hard to go wrong with such a versatile colour.
    Have a great week,

    I have never been a blue girl. My house is decked out in reds yellows and greens. These blue images are really beautiful though. Maybe it is time for me to bust out of my rut. Thanks for the inspiration.

    Wow - what a beautiful bathroom. I see myself inside... And at the long table into the perfect location I would like to sit with many friends for talk, talk, talk.... *nod one's head* ;)

    I absolutely adore blue, and am so glad it is coming back 'in' again! A few years ago, I searched and searched for a good blue linen for my headboard, and could barely find any selections (robin's egg seemed to be the order of the day).

    Do you ever wonder how your house would look if a professional photographer took the pictures? I think expert photography is key to making these spaces extra beautiful!

    Dear Leigh,
    I was never a great lover of blue until I started blogging and saw how beautiful and fresh it can look. These rooms do that too.
    I really love the 2nd from bottom. Gorgeous. XXXX

    So true Leigh, as I scrolled through your images I kept thinking - so many shades of blue and then I read your descriptors! Very clever.

    Oh I love blue ! These images are simply gorgeous and the room on the second pic is a dream.
    I'm actually saving a lot of money in interior decorating magazines since I started visiting fabulous blogs like yours ;)

    I think the blues are so soothing... That lounge with the midnight blue accents is absolutely stunning!

    So agree Leigh! I love the blue curtains in the second photo. The curtains, blue hydrangeas and the fabric on the couch make a wonderful trio. I am going to save this one!
    Hope you have a great week:)

    As always, you've found some of the most gorgeous rooms! Blue was my favorite color at one time, then I really strayed from it but lately it's starting to become a favorite again. I think it really is the most beautiful color.
