I remember this room very well...it was one of my first issues of House Beautiful & I've always have wanted to do a room like this!

Just last night, I finally finished this month's issue of House Beautiful which was All About Blue the color blue that is. You know, the last couple of years I have been on a blue kick myself (see Feeling-Little-Blue-lately). Also, just this past year I bought several Blue Willow plates to incorporate with my English Asiatic Pheasant platters. The platters were leftovers from my antiquing days that have seemed to have stayed in my life. So last night after finishing House Beautiful, I realized that I love all my blue accent pieces, I even love indigo blue striped rugs. I love several blue fabrics and blue wallpaper even more. But sorry, no painted blue walls for me please. In Hubby and I's first house, the dining room walls had been painted powder blue (which, I suppose, can be pretty if done correctly) but...what do you think I did?

Love this room by David Lawrence...perfect balance! Love the blue floral
Oh, and by the way, I did purchase my friend Cruella's blue Canton ginger lamp (you can see it in my Man Cave). I guess before I put my foot in my mouth (I do have a few painting projects coming up), I suppose if I ever did paint walls blue, it would be above white beadboard--it just has to be mixed with white to work for me! How about you...Are You Blue?

I agree with you. I like blue but have never actually painted the walls blue. I finished that magazine last night, and noticed that in several places it said that blue paint is hard to get right. I loved a lot of the blue fabrics that were pictured.
It is funny that you mentioned Talbots. I just ordered a bunch of things from there last week. I hope they work out. Have a good Monday!
