Hi there, unfortunately have been sick since Saturday...but the good news is its turned a corner and today's the first day I am actually feeling slightly better, still tired and achey but much better, so the end is near, hate being sick in the summer!
 Thankfully planned out my posts for this week already. One of these is overdue! Don't you think? Time for my weekly Which would you choose. So....lets just say you need to grab your magic wand and transplant the perfect breakfast room into your home. You know......one that is  perfect to hang out in on cold rainy mornings, one to get your family together in for lively meals and one that is inviting enough for "girls night" or Scrabble battles on a cold snowy morning. What makes up the perfect breakfast room to you? 16 beautiful choices here and the decision is in your hands. I see two that really appeal to me and look forward to hearing which you choose!

Baby blues in grown up spaces!

Happy Monday to you! Hope everyone had a great weekend and a happy Fathers day was spent with all the dads in your life.  I must confess....I am a blueaholic. (OK yes, I know that is not really a word but a word I coined for all those obsessed with blue like me) I so  love the color in everything from decor to clothing to my car color to just about anything for that matter. Blues rock! I love them from the palest shyest blues to the darkest boldest navy's. There are few blues that I don't embrace or see the beauty in. One palette that I have always loved and been drawn to is a soft baby blue, even with a hint of gray, its such a soothing, serene, calming and elegant color. 
I am planning on my master bedroom being done in creams and pale pale blues. I cannot wait to start pulling it together, right now I am working on the carpeting and will go from there. I am not rushing, as I want it to be right therefore I will do my darnest from making hasty decisions. So in my quest for a beautiful pale blue master bedroom I have naturally acquired quite a lovely little collection of pictures for inspiration as you might imagine! Thought I might share them with you for all you blue lovers out there and for those of you aren't maybe I will make a convert out of you yet!! Here we go....onto a dreamy pale blue cloud!
