Feeling the Blues

Good afternoon and welcome Through My Back Door. It is hot so we will have to visit in the house today. You can have a glass of sweet tea if you like or the traditional coffee. The choice is yours. I am feeling the "Blues", what about you? I have been reading some blogs and have seen a lot people posting about their blues, so I decided I would too. I am not talking about those old sad blues, but the color blue.  For a while blue has taken a back seat to other colors. However it is my opinion that blue is a staple and not at all trendy. In fact I don't believe color should be a trend. I think you should find the color you like and stick with it, regardless of what the decorators say. I decided a few months ago I wanted  a blue room.
This is in the blue room. It was sent to me by Mary Lou a long time ago

Yes I have the blues and always will. Blue is a soothing color to me. Now I love my reds and mustards too, but wanted to share the "blues".
Can't post a blue post with out adding some of these beautiful blues.

So these are some of my favorite blues. I hope you have some blues that make you as happy as it makes me when you come Through My Back Door where life is good.

PSS: It is still necessary we continue to pray for our fellow bloggers. Some are really hurting

  2. Betty: Love blue, too. I redo my bedroom for summer (remove the red) and make it blue and white. Also the guest room...started being all white and decided it needed color so I did it in blue and white. The picture of the girl in the blue dress is one I have been looking for "forever." Don't suppose you want to give it to me? LOL Hugs, Joy

  8. I'm a blue lover too! I have blue in my bathroom and love it! When I got married in 1988 the most popular color to paint was "federal blue" as they called it. My kitchen was blue and I loved it! I too favor burgundys, mustards, black, and earth tones but blue hold a special place in my heart! Maggie/ Maggie's Lil' Fixins
