I always get so excited when my pottery barn catalog comes in the mail, not because I'm going to buy anything but because I know I will be inspired! As usual, I was again this time. As I was flipping through, this room caught my eye...
I love this shade of blue, so pretty and the contrast with the black, brown, and caramel tones is just perfect. My husband doesn't know this yet, but I would love to paint our office this color! I love that pottery barn lists the colors of the rooms in their catalog because sometimes it's hard to tell what a color will look like on the wall. This one is called Newburyport Blue, by benjamin moore.
So, let's pretend we are in a dream world and I could recreate this room with no particular budget in mind. Here are some pieces I think would work great!
some nice lanterns.
or maybe a nice big lantern chandelier like this. I have plans to DIY this one day. To be continued...
maybe a nice jute rug for some added texture and interest
or maybe one like this
maybe some nice wall letters like they have in the pottery barn pic. I actually have a few of these from Hobby Lobby. You can get them for $5 when they go on sale.
probably would paint this a different color to tone down the bright gold, maybe a nice bronze or cream color.
and this desk and chair would look pretty great in there too...
and this lovely Ikat chair from Urban Outfitters would tie the blue in nicely...
maybe some mirrored frames mixed in with some wooden and metal frames for some texture and interest on the wall....
and of course you need a great mirror to break up all that blue...
and you always need some extra lamps...
Hope you all have a great Thursday, it's almost Friday, woo hoo!
