Friday Fun: Blue, Blue, Electric Blue…

As per my favourite colour and my favourite singer… a combination of books and blue shelves and/or decorative accents is irresistible. I may finally succumb to this palette in my next house (where I have no one else to please than myself!).

Blue and white are such a great combination, and white(ish) sofas might work now that I no longer have toddlers with chocolatey fingers. From vanessafrancis.com

If you want to make the reading nook even more special, add some blue-and-white porcelain on a high shelf and an adorable furry friend, from FrancesZook.com
No, I’m not sure if that’s a sofa or a bed either, but it certainly would be good for a group read. From UrbanElectric.com
OK, wood panelling all around the walls might be a bit much nowadays, but it does look elegant, doesn’t it? From Elle Decor.

Friday Fun: Favourite Colours

Since you all liked the white and blue colour combination from last week’s Friday post so much, here are some more blue and white houses for you to admire. I have been so in love with this colour combination all my life, that I think this might be the reason I got married into a Greek family…
