The Color My World Challenge:: I've Got The Blues

What's your favorite blue?

One of the many shades of a hydrangea?

Perhaps the midnight blue, light blue, steel blue, or cobalt blue of a beautiful gown?

The sky blue of a perfect California day?

The allure of classic navy?

I'm partial to a soft robin's egg blue, especially on a redhead (or three).

I adore the greeny-blues of aquamarine,

and the femininity of powder blue.

The hues of the ocean call my name.

And I'm inspired to bring these peaceful colors into my home.  Today I am so excited to join a group of amazing bloggers for the Color My World Challenge!

Each of us has chosen a color to incorporate into our homes over the next few weeks.  Remember a little project I talked about a couple months back called Our Master Bedroom?  The room with the desk and office chair shoved in one corner and the hideous-but-loved mammoth TV-on-cheesy-stand in the other?  The room I would like to be a peaceful haven?

My color challenge will be to use one of my favorite shades of blue ~

to bring the peacefulness of the ocean to my long-neglected master bedroom and bathroom with fabric, paint and accessories.  Each week I'll report back to you on the progress and a month from now I'll show you how my aqua challenge went.

But wait - there's more!  We invite you to participate too!  Challenge yourself to bring a new color into your home, and then link up a post about your new color on reveal day, May 1!  If you don't have a blog you can send me photos and I'll post them that day.

In the meantime check out the participating blogs for color inspiration!  I am so honored to be amongst this group of talented women in the Color My World Challenge:
