{Shades of blue}


Winter is well and truly here. Outside in the sunshine it's ok, we are called The Sunshine State after all, but the nights are cold and frosty. With the weather change I'm finding myself drawn to all shades of soft blue: from a pale ice blue, to tiffany blue and duckegg blue. I'll even throw in a hint of aqua for good measure. Do you find your inspiration changes as the seasons do?

Here is a collection of pretty blue images I find inspiring, I hope you do too.


For my fellow blue lovers, be sure to check back for a yummy duckegg blue giveaway I've teamed up with Australian design team Dandi to bring you. Keep your eyes peeled for that one!

    I adore blue! I just checked out Dandi's products and they are gorgeous.

    I love your top right picture, partly because of the soft blue, the gorgeous chairs and the fabulous hydrangeas!! x

    Thrilled at discovering your blog so early in my blogging career (just started today ;3) I'm getting ready to move to a new apartment so I'm using this opportunity to furnish everything in a pretty, whimsically vintage style that is unlike my parents ultra-modern minimalist approach.
    I'll post pictures when I'm done, I'd love to see what you think as I'll certainly be inspired by your images!

    I love the "pop" of blue. And that shade is so soothing, definitely a color to consider for future painting projects!

    I have to say I adore the very first picture on this post <3 what do you call that style of blues and yellows? It has such a glamorously vintage feel. I'm getting ready to decorate my first apartment and I'm certainly going to come back to your blog again and again <3
