So with the heat and all the green, I needed more blue around me. See the little blue pillow went in the center of the sofa. There is also a blue pitcher on the trunk.
I didn’t paint the living room blue but I have before. Many times I tried to find the right color of blue! I finally realized that wasn’t what I needed to do. The white quilts on the sofas really helps cool things down. The arms show on each side of the sofas but that’s okay with me, I gotta have a little red!
I flipped the runner over to it’s floral side with the blue gray background. More blue!
And that all ties in with the rugs. Going outside…..
We finished painting the porches. I love the blue toile this time of year. I have to warn you that you probably will be seeing a lot of blue until fall arrives.
Sweet tea and hydrangeas with zinnias.

The blue is beautiful-a very refreshing addition. I think color and it's affect on us is so fascinating. Enjoy your blues for a few more months :)
