the color of ocean and sky

 I love color. Lots of colors...blue, red, green, purple, yellow, pink.

But I think if I had to pick a favorite, it would be blue. And if it's the shade of blue

like the ocean and sky, so much the better.

My living room is done in neutrals but has touches of bright blue...

turquoise, aqua. I recently painted the round mirror in the window

frame a beautiful blue.

I have other touches of blue in the living room ~ plates, candle holders,

lamps, and vases...

...pillows and plant holders.

 Perhaps my love of turquoise and aqua started when I painted this wicker

chair a few years ago. At first I thought it was "too much". Now I love it.

I found the blue throw last year at HomeGoods. I think it adds the perfect

color and balance to the all the neutral going on in the couch, walls, rug,

ottomans, and pictures above the couch.

" Blue is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. 

It symbolizes trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. 

Blue is considered beneficial to the mind and body." 

What is your favorite color? Do you show it in your home decor?
