blue + green = happy

As long as I can remember, I’ve loved seeing blue and green together.  Even as a little girl, those were the two crayons I would grab first; preferably a light blue and apple green.  No picture was ever complete without a pale blue sky.  I guess seeing blue and green together makes me feel happy.  It’s so fertile and full of cheer.  Hmmm, sounds familiar.

Love that JCrack has added this palette to their spring collection.

Mmmm Mmm.

Here is blue and green applied to a bedroom.  Can you just feel the happiness?

How about these beautiful blue baubles spotted over at Oliphant.  Delightful.

As a paper junkie, I’m extra giddy about Martha launching a new home office line at Staples in just a few short days.  Pretty sure you can buy them online over here.  Labeling systems, organizers and gorgeous notebooks?  Just the thought of that gives me a buzz.  I need more paper goods like I need a hole in the head, but how can one resist all that pretty?

    I had a Barbie doll with an aqua and lime green wardrobe and I loved her. I think everything looks fresh with a sky blue and grass green.
    I am a girl after your paper moon heart. Off to staples for supplies….

    I simply adore that blue and green combo from JCrew. The combination has definitely been growing on me lately and that picture captures it to a T!

    Seleta, a favorite color combo of mine as well. My newish sunroom has one wall painted a pale lime green and the accents are a slightly deeper lime. Each season, I add accents of another color. My favorite is summer, when I add beachy blues of several shades. Now I will have to go to Staples this week to see if Martha is there yet… :)

    These colors are two of my all time faves too. So fresh and cheerful! My son’s bathroom is actually done in this color combo. It has a coastal, preppy kind of vibe that I never get tired of.

    Over the summer I painted my dated yellow kitchen a pale green and the ceiling is the lightest shade of blue. It makes me happy every time I walk in the kitchen. Love the combination.

    Blue (particularly Turquoise) and green are my favourite colours. There is something so uplifting about these colours for me. Happy was I to open your blog to see this post. Now I’m buzzing for the day. :-)

    My all time favorite combo too. I remember back in the 80′s seeing a window at Benetton’s with a sky blue and kelly green outfit. Love at first sight!

I'd love to hear from you!
