The past few weeks have been filled with holiday parties, gatherings, and festive outfits featuring sparkles and fur. This exciting whirlwind has come to a sudden halt, our tree is dismantled and decorations have been carefully packed away for next year. The winter blues have set in and the long cold months ahead loom over us as the final Christmas cookies are devoured.
This seasonal slum hit me hard this weekend. I don't know if this helped or made it worse, but I started revisiting summer photos and images from previous tropical getaways. Each photo was filled with roaring cool blue surf and rich green foliage, which got me thinking about color. Sunlight and temperature have something to do with the happy feelings associated with these settings, but so do the colors. Maybe all we need is a little color update to get us through the winter blues?
With this in mind, I began my search for blue and green inspiration. This is a great time to consider updating or redesigning your home. Whether you plan to add a chinoiserie planter with fresh green plants or wallpaper your powder room in a cheerful green and blue paper, this week will offer plenty of inspiration to beat the winter blues.
