Blue Velvet

"She wore Blue Velvet 

Bluer than velvet was the night

Softer than satin was the light 

From the stars"

I used to think velvet was somewhat old-fashioned, something that was found in granny's house but had no place in mine. How wrong I was! It may be luxurious and sumptuous  but somehow lends itself to almost any style of interior. 

I love this room...the blue chairs look great combined with the neutrals, and the contrast of the velvet with the rustic wood and wicker is perfect.

Love this oversized headboard.

 A pretty mix of different shades of blue.

Again, velvet combined with a rustic brick floor.

Such a sweet corner of a nursery.

I wonder if the parrot was chosen to match the sofa or vice versa. Doesn't the gorgeous golden retriever look so at home?

So inviting!

Well, this isn't exactly blue, but so pretty I had to include it!

See how your eye is immediately drawn to the blue velvet chair.

Till next time
