A little obsessed with blue

I have been collection blue images in my pinterest board for a while now and I posted about it here. At last I had a chance to get my paws on some blue paint and have been painting almost everything around me blue! I started with redoing my backdrop which I use for the design markets - I  painted one half in a rich turquoise and the other half got a new lick of blackboard paint. I love the gold frames on the turquoise, some colours are just made to be together. Then on the weekend I decided to paint our living room wall in a dove egg blue - or there abouts, I mixed it myself, with the left over turquoise, some ink  and some white wall paint I had lying around... I was quite pleased with the result!

Both those shade are very appealling, its so easy to get hooked on those kind of blues. I'm in my 'blue period' too, loving the duck egg blue sheets, quilt cover and blanket on my bed, just a smidge of difference of shade between them, against the dark wood headboard x

I'm liking blue more and more these days. Of course one gets stuck on turquoise, but I've began dating a few blues in view of a longer term relationship in my house.
