My New Blue Bedroom, or my 'Bluedoir'

I have been itching to repaint my room for some time now. Nine years of 'Butternut Squash', many parties, suitcases, cocktails and more parties, the paint was lookin ratty and I was ready for a change.


Ever since I went to Catherine's Palace in Russia, I have been obsessed over bright blue in design. Then seeing rooms in old plantation homes and townhouses in Charleston I was hooked.

So I picked out this bright blue, (I will never tell you the name Mr. Moore gave it) I call Monticello Blue, headed to Atlanta for the weekend and had the room revamped.

I'm happy as a blue jay with the results and rearranged my decor to give the next a new feel. I was looking for something new to add to the mix and when I saw mothers portrait from when she was 16 I knew I had to ship it up from Atlanta.

There are still some tweeks I would like to make but waking up in such a color is like waking up on a cloud, not quite Catherine's Palace, but close enough for me.

Enjoy.
