Blues & Pinks

One colour I am really liking so much recently is a deep blue, not quite navy. 

Blue & white in the form of kitchenware and china to be exact. 

Now I see this everywhere and I'm wondering if there is a resurgence in the mid to deeper blues. 

A lovely colour to add to the deeper blues is a vibrant pink. 

Here's a collection of this powerful colour combination used within the home. 

In the practise of colour theory, dark blues represent

knowledge, integrity, power and seriousness. 

And I wholeheartedly agree - powerful it is! Also kind of perfect for the upcoming spring/summer seasons. 

Pantone have now released their Spring 2013 Colour Forecast. Here it is: 

Monaco Blue is my guess as a colour we'll see more of yet.

Fixated

I'm almost becoming fixated on the Bahamas. 

It's a travel destination that's on the 'bucket list' & I'm determined to have a totally lazy holiday on those beaches. But besides just the idea of the place (Oh, the day I get to say

 "I'm off to holiday in the Bahamas"...) , I love their way of styling their houses. 

And the colour! The more I look, the more colourful a place it is besides the 

blue of that ocean. 

I really need to go huh? Am I convincing you too yet? 

See what I mean by the colour? **Sigh**

How could I not share this?  

Now I will stop daydreaming and go back to work ;)
