The Color Blue

For the past month me and my hubby have been painting the whole interior of our home. When we first moved here back in 2002, We chose very sunny and warm colors for our walls such as, butternut squash for our bedroom, two toned walls in the great room of a warm, deep, golden, orange color and an off white color, with a warm buttery hue to it. The main color of our rooms were off white with that buttery hue. For a while I loved it, but I feel it's time for a change, so we decided to go with hues of blue through out our whole house.

Blue is a very calming color. This is one of the reasons why I've chosen to use blue on the walls. Blue is the color of communication, representing clarity and the ability to express yourself no matter what the situation. When dreaming of the color blue, this is a message that one needs to express our emotions. Blue also promotes a peaceful and Serene environment.

I did the walls in this room two toned, because of the chair railing running across the middle. The lower is a deeper blue (behind Hera ) and the upper wall (behind me) is an off white with a very light blue hue to it
