Although I’ve always been drawn to all different varieties of design, lately I have found myself drawn to more traditional rooms, specifically in all different shades of blue.

Blue has never been a color I have liked. I love it in other peoples’ homes but for some reason I never gravitate to it on my own. But now… after seeing these spaces, I have completely changed my mind. I love how a light, dusty blue can be so soft and sweet but a bright royal blue lacquer can be so bold.

What do you think? Have you always been a blue fan? If not, are you a convert now?

Over vacation I read three really great books and since I am always looking for new books to read, I wanted to share

Crazy Rich

The story of the Johnson & Johnson dynasty. They are insanely wealthy, but also pretty insane in general. Really entertaining and interesting.

Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand

A little bit slow, but such a sweet story of getting a second chance at love. Easy read.

David & Goliath

I am a huge fan of Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell so I was really excited to read his new book. It was good (not as good as Outliers). But it makes you think. Offers a new perspective on things which I really enjoy.

What have you guys read recently that you liked?? I need some new recommendations.
