Sorry I have been away! I have been working on a special project. One I hope to share with everyone very soon! But until then... lets get back to our spring colors! (If you missed Yellow or Pink be sure to check them out.)
Ok - so I have been tossing up if I should do green or blue next. I decided to do blue. I think there are a couple different blue colors that are associated with spring. There is the blue of the robin's egg, the bright blue of a clear spring sky, bluebell's and cornflower's, so many shades!
A lot of people do blue in bedrooms since it is a calm relaxing color. However, besides using the cool, chill, mellow blues that people typically use, I think doing a bright pop of electric blue or turquoise can really add some energy to a bedroom! I especially like the way it is featured in the rooms below.
Seriously - Don't you just love the bed skirt and pillows in the first picture! So I thought I would round us up some fun blue accents to use about the bedroom.
The neutral base in this set is the Aspelund Bed from Ikea for $179. That is a pretty good deal for a classically styled bed frame! Starting directly right of the bed and going clockwise around we have the following:
- A Stick Lamp from Target for $16.99
- A Framed Andy Warhol Print from SmartBargins.com for $59.99
- A Blue Striped Vase from Ikea for $14.99
- A Blue Carafe from Ikea for $9.99
- A Blue Terracotta Clay Vase from Overstock.com for $23.49
- A 3-Piece Blue Bordered Quilt Set from Overstock.com for $33.99 (Great Deal!)
- A Bamboo and Cotton Throw from SmartBargins.com for $44.98
- A 4x6 Chenille Shag Rug from Overstock.com for $75.99
- A 14x11 Pop Art Cat Print from Target.com for $39.99
- A 18x18 Buddha Print from Target.com for $39.99
- A Blue Embroidered Pillow from Target.com for $19.99
- A Blue Cotton Cushion Cover from Overstock.com for $16.49
- A Blue Quilted Sham from Target.com for $14.99
- A Sapphire Silk Cushion Cover from Overstock.com for $27.99
I love the Blue!! As always this is just me finding good deals. No one poked or prodded me to offer these for you!
So I am curious, do you like the brighter blues or the more mellow light blues?
P.S. I am linking this up to Melissa's Inspired By Party at the Inspired Room! Come join the fun!

Hi, Jess.
Saw you on SITS. Love it when I find new design girls! Just did my own yellow, and also pink posts--glad you got the blue covered! Stop by to see our big "project!"
We are using blue in a few rooms of our home. In our bedroom, I'm mixing a shade of blue on the walls, with yellow and green accents, and dark ebony furniture.
In my office, I am using blue on the walls, white furniture, with orange and green accents.
Blue is one of my favorite colors-the pictures you show above are stunning.:)

Love the lighter blues and those pictures and decorating ideas are awesome.
Have a great weekend.
Looks great! I love cool colors, I use neutral colors as well as blues and greens through out my house. Those bedrooms are beautiful!

i don't like blue in my home personally- but that last one looks like a great beach house bedroom- wish i was there right now!
I love that second bedroom, especially the pillows. I don't have any blue rooms in my home (yet :-)) but I'm in love with turquoise right now.
