Blue (and orange) Monday

You may or may not recall that I'm attempting a lounge re-do. On a very small scale of course. It took many more coats of paint than I anticipated, even with the priming but, we now have ever so slightly off white walls. The color is called 'Twinkle Twinkle'... how could I resist when it is the song I have sung to Pony Girl nearly every night for the past two years? An eco-friendly paint was used of course.
And now with the walls a blank and neutral canvas, I can dream of what colors I would like to add to the room. Lately I have been inspired by orange and blue, those two complimentary colors have been making me feel happy and lively. So after flipping through flickr, I have found some very happy inspiration that I thought I would share with you!

    Well if you can replicate even a smidge of the joy that your mosaic evokes in your 're-do' then I'll be impressed. So gorgeous. I forget about orange...

    very pretty :) Living in close proximity to bronco nation we are surrounded by blue and orange (I like your picks much better).

    As a yote I accidentally pick purple and gold a lot but am very retro and love lime green and orange :)

    It is so nice to get the painting done and get on with the fun stuff. I love orange all of a sudden, and would be happy, happy to sew all day with that orange machine. My daughter just found a delicious orange german typewriter at a shop on 13th and Hawthorne, wouldn't something like that look great in your new room?

    Such cheerful colours. I'm feeling a bit in the mood for orange too, as I'm clearing out all my red, bit by bit, as the weather gets warmer. I don't seem to need the red in spring and summer, and orange is just as cheerful! I can't wait to see what you do with the room.
