BEDROOM BLUES...

Pardon my lack of posting these last few days. After my trip back home to Texas, I came home with the flu. It's incredibly difficult to even move, let alone compose a blog post.

Oh the deliciousness of dark blue. Normally, I would shy away from this color on the walls because its a little intense but... not today. I am incredibly attracted to this lovely hue of blue. Every other color just pops right off the dark color and looks rich. Such drama and sophistication are these spaces because of the color on the walls. Insanely chic, I LOVE it.

Pretty in PINK...a perfectly wallpapered living room

Good morning my lovely Decoristas! I loved all of the feedback on the wallpaper I love...thanks so much! After that post, my adorable reader Jackie sent me these photos of her living room, I fell instantly.
