a POP of blue
well actually more like turquoisey-blue
I've been slowly trying to incorporate some blue into my living room
to pair with my red accents and bring in more of a POP of color.
Did you ever meet Jaqueline?
I transformed this large frame from boring to bright. I had originally modge podged some black and white scrapbook paper on this wide wood frame but then got really sick of it. I wanted something different. I freehanded some wide blue and cream stripes, then antiqued it a little with wood stain. I added a thrift store frame, painted white, to the front to give it a unique look. I like the look of the wood frame along with the detailed frame.
I stacked a couple of thrift store books--I just love these colors.
Another blue frame--this one with vintage sheet music and mini bird nest with blue eggs.
I love this blue bird pillow with its large rosette purchased from Target for about $20.
My fun ruffly aprons.
And this is where I sit every morning,
checking out my favorite blogs and eating my usual, GoLean with frozen blueberries.

I have been wanting to do the same thing in my living room! I wanted to add that blue but wondered if it would really go with my burgundy leather couch. Then I saw your couch and thought oh yeah! It will work. Thanks. I'm not crazy.
ReplyDeleteack - I love the aprons on the knob coathook....pure loveliness!
ReplyDeleteI do like Jaqueline! So pretty. And the striped frame is so cute too. Love that you layered it with another frame.
ReplyDeleteEven more brown and blue loveliness. You have a great eye for vignettes too. Love your painted frame and the birds nest. I think aquas make the perfect pop of color in a room!
