One of my most reoccuring dreams,
is a dream where I am living
on the coast!
In a beach house, except that
every dream is just a tad bit different!
One time, this house is a gorgeous 3 story,
beach condo,
and then the next it's a charming cottage
by the sea!
and then One time, I'm sitting on my back patio,
wrapped in a warm, cashmere throw, sipping
hot chocolate,
being gently lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves!
The next time I'm sitting on my back porch,
sipping my coffee reading,
breathing in the fresh salty, sea air
(which is only mere feet from the ocean tides)
relaxing and getting together my thoughts
on how to tackle the days events!
The one aspect of my dream, that doesn't change,
is there is at least one
BLUE and WHITE room.
My family used to laugh at my Nana, when she moved into her
last house.
The previous owners had painted one of the back rooms,
a shade of 'Ginger Blue'.
Her reaction....she seriously hated it!
Over the years, every time when I visited her,
I stepped in the back room to see what color,
she finally decided to paint it,
and there it was
still bold and blue !
I asked her why she never got around to painting the room
if she had such a strong dislike for it, and
she simply said,
it grew on her and she
actually loved the feeling she got when she
stopped to rest in it.
As the sun hit the room perfectly in the early afternoon,
she could read and relax.
And that's the story of Nana's Blue Room!
So far in our new house, I've only painted an accent wall in my daughter's room!
This year we will be painting our house, inside and out, and I will be changing
things up a bit!
I like the color scheme, they chose to repaint our house to sell it,
but I'm not too fond of the dark chocolate colors.
The medium brown and light browns are ok,
but still I'm wanting fresh and clean!
In the winter, it gets really dark in our house,
I want to lighten it up.

This is what I have in mind!
I don't think I'm ready for a vibrant blue wall color, yet;
to start with I'll play around with Blue and white patterns,
for the throw pillows and drapes.
I am seriously drooling over the black and white marble fireplace,
and the tufted ottoman!
So look for a Blue and White room to debut in our house, coming soon!
Happy First weekend of December!
much love,
