There were two reasons I was excited to receive my March House Beautiful<\/a> in the mail yesterday. First of all, I usually receive my US subscriptions weeks after they have been on the newsstands, so to receive a March issue in January made me smile. The second reason was the issue was all about the colour BLUE, <\/span>which is a favourite colour to use when decorating not just my own home, but clients\u2019 homes as well. Erin of House of Turquoise<\/a> gets a mention in editor in chief Stephen Drucker\u2019s column. Way to go Erin! <\/span><\/p>\n

\"pendantHB\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

I love the use of blue in this dining room especially the slipcover fabric on the chairs \u2013 Jasper\u2019s Indian Flower in Blue.<\/p>\n

\"blueHB\"

Gorgeous glass tile described by designer Marshall Watson as \u201cperiwinkle verging on cobalt.\u201d It\u2019s a kitchen in Fire Island, New York which is 5 miles out in the ocean so careful consideration had to be given to the building materials. For example, the walls are all wood (not drywall) which breathes and bends in a storm. That\u2019s what I love about this magazine \u2013 the insight from designers as to the design choices they made. <\/p>\n

\"blueHB2\"

Great idea \u2013 1\u201d x 6\u201d blue glass tiles lining the perimeter of the bathroom near the ceiling. Love the mix with the 12\u201d square wall tiles and the hexagon floor tiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"blueHB7\"

This room has three things I love \u2013 round mirrors, branches and subtle wallpaper (see earlier posts).  <\/p>\n

\"blueHB4\"

Although I don\u2019t think I would personally do a patterned sofa and rug, there\u2019s something about this room that says come on in, sit and stay a while.  An artist painted the nautical chart of Long Island in the \u201cmap room\u201d \u2013 how unique is that?<\/p>\n

\"blueHB5\"

I love the bookcase painted in Farrow and Ball\u2019s Down Pipe which looks very gray on the paint chip but quite blue in this photo.<\/p>\n

\"blueHB6\"

Now that I have done yellow and blue posts, I think red will be next, don\u2019t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
