Blue Jeans and Embroidery

November 24, 2009

I love this look – it reminds me of a pair of favorite blue jeans that I’ve had for years – I’ve embroidered, embellished and worn them in until they really are amazing. It seems as though that sort of “blue jean creative” comfort level can be a challenge to create in a room. Here I’ve collected a few of the newer offerings from Tsunami Glassworks, Anthropologie, and Thomas Paul that I just love! Have any rooms that have this look? Please add your links or images below!

Into the Brilliant Blue Dining Rooms

I came across this photo of this dramatic dining room over the weekend browsing through New England Home Magazine. The house is in Chappquiddick and belongs to an artist – so it’s no wonder that the brilliant shade of blue mixed with white and black has such a unique pop art look. It’s both reverential and modern – a look that’s fairly difficult to come by.

Whenever I think of Thanksgiving and Fall dinners, I always go straight to images of orange and brown – but really this palette has a classic china plate look that’s both current and traditional. (that’s Wedgewood’s Johnson Brother’s Pattern below). And being such a primary color, brilliant blue seems to play well with so many moods that it just looks gorgeous time and again in the dining room. Below are some more ideas.
