Amazing Blues…


Blues and all its hues are everywhere this summer.  I’m really loving the “blue take over”  so to speak. Please enjoy the enigmatic power of the colour blue…










All this blue has me yearning for the beach. How about you? Here’s to a calming and relaxing weekend for everyone! XX

Wow- gorgeous images! I would love that first home on the beach, please! :) I also love the color blue and plan to paint our office "hale navy" by benjamin moore this summer. It's a very deep blue. I'm excited to go for it, as the walls are a stark white right now. Have a great day!
