Anybody Got The “Blues”?

Today I’ve got the “Blues.”  But in a GOOD way!  Here in Texas in July, we are accustomed to triple digit temperatures that can go on for days, even weeks at a time.

Now I love summertime as much as the next person, but think about it:  100+ temps….. – days on end…. –  yeah, it can be pretty exhausting!  That’s why I am so excited that over the last few days we have had RAIN!!!  High temperature a few days back – somewhere in the 70’s (I think it was a new record low “high” temp for the date here in Dallas.)  And blue skies!  Not sunshiny blue skies, but those gray-blue skies that come before, during and after a soft, gentle rain.

My mood, my attitude, my whole outlook on life – they all just took a deep breath, exhaled, then dialed it back a notch or two.  Something about those blue gray skies can just slow you down, snuggle you up and give you the energy for a re-start, all at the same time.  That must be why I love those beautiful blues in luxurious bedrooms.  Here are a few of my favorites for your enjoyment.

The blue and white damask wallpaper and layering of fabrics and patterns create the story here.  Clean, crisp, a touch of “formal”, but, oh, so inviting!
