Cobalt Blue for Any Season

August 9, 2017 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning! How is your week starting? I read this morning that 2/3rd’s of the country will be having a below average August in terms of weather and that you will be experiencing some Fall like weather.

That has me a little “blue” and has me pondering Fall decorating as well. I personally LOVE cobalt blue and I think you can use it as an accent at most any season. One of my favorite bloggers, Yvonne from Stone Gable uses it in the Spring and Fall and pairs it with transferware, pumpkins, , glasses and more.

What do you think? Are you a fan of cobalt blue? Can you see yourself veering off from the traditional colors of the seasons and adding a little cobalt blue to your tables?

Have a great day!

    I love cobalt blue and it's by far my husband's favorite color. It works well with so many accent colors–pink, orange, red, yellow, green, turquoise, pale blue….pretty much the entire rainbow.

    Hi Elizabeth! I have been having a tough time leaving a comment on your blog; the page jumps around and gets stuck and won't allow me in. This is a rare moment for me to get in!

    Love blue. No matter what the season, any hue of it works for me!

    I've always been a big fan of cobalt blue. I used to have a lot of it, but somehow lost it along the way. Maybe I'll acquire more! Sure hope you're right about having fall weather.

    I'm not a big fan of cobalt blue UNLESS it's mixed with pink and white like in your first image and then I'm a HUGE fan. I have a couple of vases with cobalt on them and I always put pink flowers inside. I do think it's a nice color for all seasons. I also like the tiles on your inspiration board. They are very pretty!

Ladies if you don’t take care of yourself no one else can, eat right and get moving, cardio vascular exercise is great for your heart!

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood
