Anything Blue Friday - Week 52

Hello World!  We've made it a full year with the Anything Blue Friday party!  How amazing is that?  Just to give you an update on what's going on here.  The office is finished, and the kitchen cabinets have all been touched up and repainted white.  We've said goodbye to the stripes in the kitchen and said hello to Shabby Chic by Benjamin Moore.  I've taken down a ton of pictures and decorative items.  And we've made several trips to the storage unit.  Today I'm starting on painting the baseboards that are all chippy; which will require hand sanding.  Doesn't that sound like fun?  I'll also start painting the downstairs hallway to freshen it up a bit.  Whew!  

So, let's get to the party so I can get back to painting!  
Welcome to Week 52 of:


Anything Blue Friday
My Favorite
Marty over at A Stroll Thru Life shared her Show Off & Inspire series which featured Gates of Crystal!  Love, love, love her style!

Anything Blue Friday
Your Favorite
Quite Simply shared her favorite shades of blue including the above.  I love the paper straw, cupcake liner, and napkin.  Perfect for a Spring picnic.

Sweet blue goodness!  Look at this fabulous bed canopy that

Blue Goodness #2
Up next is this adorable table that Redoux Interiors has transformed.  Her painting techniques give her pieces such depth!

Blue Goodness #3
Bonjour Spring!  Such a happy picture that Just a Little Southern Hospitality shared with us.  It won't be long now.  Winter is releasing her grip and Spring has the doves cooing.  Flowers soon to follow.

    Happy one year anniversary Kathryn! The time sure does fly doesn't it? I've added a post from the L.A. Flower Market with blue flowers and a few other colors as well. I hope that qualifies! Thanks for hosting and keep up the good work around your house. I hope to see pics.
