Yes, yes. It's another post in honor of the Indianapolis Colts, who play the New Orleans Saints in today's Super Bowl.
I couldn't resist using this week's roundup to recommend posts about the color blue. However, in the LINK UP party below, you are not so restricted! Give us your favorite post of the past few weeks...
Back to my recommendations:
I start at the fabulous Odi et Amo blog, which had a post recently about blue kitchens. The kitchen I've included at right is from Snaidero-USA and isn't one featured on the Odi et Amo site -- but only because I never had time this week to secure permission to use one.
Writer Averill has some beautiful rooms -- some in Colts blue and others using different shades, ranging from a chambray to royal.
"The great thing about a blue kitchen is that, while it's a bit of a departure from the oft-used white, it's still fairly traditional," Averill writes. "Nobody is going to think you've gone completely off your rocker and there's a good chance that you'll still love it in a few years' time."
Other great posts:
- The always inspirational Design Dazzle has a great boys room with a Toy Story theme decorated with blue and orange. It's from HGTV Dream Home. See one of the photos at right.
- Julia over at Hooked on Houses shares her newest addition -- a turquoise Bombay chest from Arhaus that just pops in her pretty dining room.
- Of course, no roundup of blue rooms would be complete without a link to the House of Turquoise, a blog all about turquoise and various related shades including sky blue, ocean blue, robin's egg blue... you get the picture. You can really pick any of writer Erin's posts but I particularly liked the "Incredible Dream Home," which is truly, well, incredible.
I need to end with a big "GO COLTS!" cheer.
Oh, and of course, our MckLinky blog LINK UP!
