A Blue Moment





Blue is just one of those colours I always love. It's such a classic colour which never seems to date; pale blue, navy blue, aqua blue, I love them all. Today I thought I would post some pictures of a chair I've just had recovered for my mum's bedroom in a pale blue and cream basket weave fabric on the front and a pale blue and cream broad stripe on the back. I've also posted a little snippet of my new kitchen in which I have hung some blue and white Spode plates (given to Brad & I as wedding gifts). Mixed with white, blue is just so fresh and summery. I also love it mixed with hot pink too.

  4. Hi Anna,
    beautiful chair!
    Would you mind to share a bit more of your new kitchen? Kitchens are so important, we spend so much time in it, and yet there are so little posts about it.
    Thanks in advance,
    ciao

  33. I love blue and white and I think hot pink goes with anything. I have too much blue and white but when I see a piece of china at a yard sale for $1 it's hard to resist, no matter how humble he piece.
