~ Color Combo: Sea Shore ~


Prior to moving to my home here ... I was a white wall only kind of gal.  But when I encountered some strange colors from the previous homeowners that I wanted to change, I became a blue wall kind of gal.


The one big exception was the Master Bedroom.  It's walls were already painted in a stunning neutral ... that pretty much matched the carpet.  I soon saw how much I loved how white and blue stood out against it.
I love this room ... and how this sandy, ocean, shell color scheme comes together.


Oddly enough, I made my "Speaking with the Stars" quilt not even thinking of this room and then later found that the colors and the size were a perfect fit.


I already had a blue slipcovered chair with a precious and sentimental throw (thank you Mom!) that perfectly matched the carpet.


It's taken me a year and a half to get the combinations just right ...


And to find the perfect sheets.
(Thank you Target!)


I've carried over my scheme to the bathroom with it's blue walls and sandy colored tile.

How about you?
What's your favorite color combo?

  1. These colors are just beautiful together....fresh and pretty. I have white and blue in my master bath and need a contrasting color on my walls. It sure is hard to choose the perfect color!

  2. Very soothing colors. Definitely reminds me of the sea. Hmmmm...my favorite color combo changes but I'd have to say gray & white (and technically, they aren't colors). Thanks for sharing at my place! xo
