Perhaps My Favorite Color is Really Blue??

I have, as you know, been thinking about turquoise A LOT lately. I have, at the same I think about colors in and for quilts, been thinking about what color to paint my bedroom. So far I have been leaning towards some type of periwinkle. Truly I am actually thinking of painting my bedroom the same color TFQ painted her bedroom. Partially, because it is a very restful color and partially because the decision is already made.

Yesterday, however, all that changed. I am thinking that all the trouble I have had for years identifying my very favorite color is because I haven’t wanted to acknowledge that my favorite color is blue. I am still not willing to acknowledge the humble blue as my favorite color, but progress on self improvement is always slow.

When I saw this picture on Anna Maria Horner’s blog yesterday, it occurred to me that I need to rethink my thoughts on color. I like the whole look that Anna Maria has created here. And part of the issue for me is the whole look. I can just plop that lovely (if a bit dark) blue onto my bedroom walls and call it good. However, there is a look here and I will be disappointed if I don’t do something about the rest of the parts. I would have to think about what could realistically translate from here into my bedroom.

Anyway, Anna Maria has a bunch of photos of her Houston booth so go take a look. All the photos I saw on her blog are wonderful. Sigh. I have a ways to go in that department.

Any suggestions on dealing with a look, especially on a budget, are welcome.

  1. Well if it is any comfort, that color teal is and has always been my favorite. I used to have a silk dress this color, which was lost at the cleaners. I was distraught for weeks!

    I think that as long as you have some bright accents that it would look incredible in your room and I would be totally jealous!

    What type of furniture do you have?

  2. I have cr*ppy furniture, no, old and cr*ppy furniture. It is either hand-me-downs or furniture I could afford when I was just out of college. It is all on my axe list for someday. Basically, the furniture is of no account. I got a new mattress last year and that is staying!

    I have just been really attracted to turquoise lately, actually always. If you look at the blues of my favorite I have 90% turquoise and 10% all other blues. No exaggeration for the sake of emphasis, either.
