:: Feel the Blues

A home filled with hues of blues will instantly add calmness in light shades and when used boldly, can add a severe hit of majestic opulence. Blue must be crowned as the most diverse shade of them all; with her ability to transform your home into schemes like Oriental, French Country, Rich Provencal or with touches of 'Periwinkle' will send you off to the seaside.

She is harmonious and translucent, she can be gritty or fresh.
And from this, we are left to wonder... Since when did 'feeling the blues' have to become a 'negative'? We think it's time to spin her around so fast that every negative connotation is pushed away and everyone sees her in a new and vibrant light...

We are sure this weeks sultry 'Cobalt Crystals'' cocktail will help, now go on... 'Put on your red shoes and dance the blues' - let's do it.

Enjoy.
