As you all know I am a huge fan of Navy blue. When Benjamin Moore came out with their colour trends 2013 I was pleasantly surprised at their picks. As you may know by now... I am NOT huge on trends myself. I think they are great in that they can breathe new life into a new space if you want to add just a little something. Or if you are looking to go in a completely different direction they can give inspiration. However, I am a traditional kinda girl. I love seeing what is new...but if it is a trend that I can incorporate that isn't too obvious or one that doesn't cost a boatload then I am there. People ask me.... "shouldn't I be following trends to stay current"? Well.... to an extent yes. But, you should be changing your space every year just so that you can say..."Look at me I am so trendy". Personally, I think people should invest in pieces that speak to them PERSONALLY. Your house is an expression of who YOU are. I am not one of those decorator's that tells people to buy something..A: because it is trendy, or B: BECAUSE I SAY SO!!. I always tell others that I am a tool to help them achieve how THEY want their home to function and feel. IT ISN'T ALL ABOUT ME, IT'S ALL ABOUT YOU!! When I see some designers on TV acting all diva-ish... well lets just say it sets my teeth on edge.
Back to Colour Trends..... One of the colour trends at Benjamin Moore in their New Traditional is:
How unbelievably pretty is this bedroom? The walls are painted a gorgeous Navy called Evening Dove 2128-30. It is the kind of dark blue that is muted and deep. As Navy's go I think this is one of my fav's. It doesn't "scream" blue. If you were to look at it on the chip you may even dismiss it as a "navy" since it is a "grayed" down. But on closer inspection you can see that it is there.
In fact I would have to say as blues go this is the chip for me:
Note that Evening Dove should fit in between Oxford Gray and Abyss. Every one of the colours on this chip is fabulous. If I were to paint a room light blue I would definitely go with Lily White 2128-70. It has such a cleaness to it. And if you were looking for a light blue with a purple or true blue undertone to it then I would pick this one. One thing to consider with any colour especially blue.... although it may not look very "blu-ish" on the chip....once you get it on the wall it will get very blue..... so air on the side of caution when picking a blue. Or consult a professional like me :). I could go on and on about any of the above colours but lets stick with Evening Dove.
When I was looking at the this particular paint chip in my fandeck it got me thinking..... Uhh Oh that is ALWAYS dangerous around here! I thought... I know some fabric that would look fab with that colour:
This fabric was used to make a dress back awhile ago here. But I think I would get way more use and enjoyment out of this fabric as a pillow. I feel an idea is brewing...... will keep you posted!
Have a great day everyone.
