First and foremost, thanks to everyone for your comments and ideas on the “blue wall”. I have lived with the color for 2 weeks now, and I love it more and more each day. There are still things I want to add to the room, but the color was definitely a positive impact! If you are thinking of a dramatic color for an added punch…GO FOR IT!!!!!

Do you LOVE IT?

4. Hello Alli,

Its done and it looks great. Very sophistocated and chic. The blue wall added the drama and backdrop to your furnishings. Love the repeat of the blue in the room…vase, pillow etc. It looks like you got new art over your sofa. Nice contrast to the wall.
I love it and I know you do to.

13. I love the blue and am trying to create the blue in a bedroom. I got a quilt from HG and I love it.. It is a Ridgefield Home Quilt in blue, twin. But, I could only get 1 twin, (they have many full/queen or Kings.) Obviously, I need 2 twins. Any idea where I can get a second blue twin quilt Ridgefield Home or who can tell me what company actually manufactures Ridgefield Home. Thank You…

14. Hi to all – I’m new in town (so to speak). I am thrilled I found this group because right now we are in the midst of adding on a full bathroom to the back of our house – 12′ x 11′ feet. It is so exciting watching the construction progress – BUT – I found you tonight. My plan is to use blues, sage and coffee/cocoa colors in the room and you have given me so many ideas toward completion. I’ll let you know how the room fulfills itself. Thanks again. Terry

17. I just love that zebra rug and how it goes so well with that blue you have on the wall! Very creative.

Hope you maintain that style enthusiasm!

18. Thanks Ashley,
you are very kind….the zebra rug was an impulse item, and I have enjoyed it!!! I guess sometimes it pays to go outside the box!
Thanks for visiting the site and come again soon!

19. I have just recently moved into a new house and I painted one of my bedrooms blue. Well the problem I am having is finding a bedspread that would go nicely in there. The color is bunglelhouse blue sherwilliams colors- one of the historical colors. Also any ideas where I can find a nice duvet cover in toile (perferable black and white)?

Thanks

20. Hi Claudia,
I looked on line at your color and I am sure it is beautiful in your bedroom.
If you are having difficulty finding the blue, try going with a complimentary color such as a warm buttery yellow or even a sage green,
The black and white toile would also look nice. Try one of my favorite companies…Country Curtains. You can see their selections on line at http://www.countrycurtains.com Good luck and happy decorating!

25. I saw your blue room and I loved it.
I am thinking of doing one wall in my living room this color.
Could you please tell me what brand and color this is?

Thank you!
