Ack, next week some sweet new things are happening at home, namely I finally get to actually start to think about what I want to do with our bedroom! I know, I know, but here we go.
I can't get this idea of a blue haven out of my mind! Ack again. I think my favorite is Farrow and Ball's Oval Room Blue. Most notably used in Sheila Bridges Harlem home, I love me some Sheila B man, this kitchen, ball'n.
Goodness me I love this color. Our bedroom is large, and right now it is brown, and I like it, but....I don't know. Blue just has to happen. Our new floors look like this, by the way.
Next up, we will have a seating area, and the chairs need to be comfortable, like I never want to get up, and even though I love the look of low back chairs, I need some for reals neck support...and since I am super lazy, and I learned my lesson with buying chairs that O has not sat in and given his O seal of approval...they must be new. Which naturally brings me to Room and Board, like Doy.
I like these, and they are tall enough in the back, and I would do them in a soft blue velvet, like Sheila did in her drawing room (her's are linen though.) Cuz you can order a Room and Board chair in any fabric you fancy. Yippy. OR I would do a nice bold spring green, nice huh, with nail heads! HOLD ME BACK.
They would flank a mantel (to put candles on, and put a mirror over! Hollah!).
Next I would love some blue and white patterned curtains...What I can't decide is if I want to hang them from my white rods, or if I want one of those curtain cumberbuns..what are they called? Damn, PELMETS! Thank you Domino.
They just cost so much, and I live in fear of spilling, but that will be later on anyway.

I have always loved Ms Bridges work. That is an amazing blue too! Hope O will feel the love too. I've used a lot of blue in my own home over the years and I find that it can go cold really quick. That blue looks like it would do right by you! Good luck. Can't wait to see the results.
ReplyDeleteI would turn gay for Sheila Bridges. She's amazing.
ReplyDeleteI miss her show on FLN.
I'll chime in on the Sheila Bridges love and just say I think no one does color like she does...the blue here is no exception. I remember a grass green bedroom featured in Domino years ago that I've always wanted the nerve to recreate.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who finds it a fucking crime that rugs are so expensive. Always love to stop by your blog space.
ReplyDeleteI want ALL of those convex mirrors.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this link - but unfortunately it seems to be down? Does anybody here at armasdesign.blogspot.com have a mirror or another source?
Thanks,
Jules
I really love that chair. The design is clean-cut but not stuffy. But my favorite part is that dark tone on tone pattern. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteSheila Bridges is brilliant. I don't think you could go wrong following in her footsteps. The blue is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat an utterly 'cool' blue house. Definitely a house to be creative in...
