Shades of Blue …

So I have been seeing a lot of blue and white stuff lately.  Maybe it is because it is spring or maybe it is because that is what Target decided to promote this year!  Either way – I starting thinking about the combo and how there are a couple ways to interpret it in your space.  Blue and white rooms start from light blue and dip all the way into navy.  I pulled a bunch together for us to admire from lightest to darkest – and I am curious where you guys fall in the spectrum. 

Starting off here with very light almost gray blue and LOTS of white accents. That fixture is amazing.

Moving into an ice blue with more neutral accents – love the coordinating colors they chose.

This room is slightly darker – and a perfect place to relax! And wouldn't you kill for that view!

Headed just a shade darker here. Don't you just love all the trim work around this mantel! Gorgeous!

Starting to get a little darker here but isn't this a great shade of blue! Love it with all the shabby chic accents!

Bordering on periwinkle here but I love the ring of blue around the top of the room! Perfect with all that creamy white tile!

Now we move into a deeper shade of blue - love the coordinating fabrics and colors through this space. It feels very cohesive!

Dipping all the way down into navy now. I think this is one way to do navy - as kind of the accent on top of the white.

You can get a little bolder and do a great accent wall like this one here. Anyone else loving that desk? And the little porthole window? Great space!

Or you can just go ALL out deep blue. I think a lot of people would find that conceptually overwhelming - but this picture proves it can be done and done beautifully!

So there you go - now where do you land in the blue scale?  Are you a light blue lover or do you like the depth of where a deep navy can take you?  I wanna know!  Me personally – I like the navy!!
