I used to hate blue for decor, but now I long for some. I just love those cool, icy blues and the grey/blues. Ahhhhhhhhhh. So relaxing. But yeah, a cruise somewhere gorgeous sounds great about now! Take me with youuuuuuuuuuuu

My husband and I were just talking about cruises. We have never been on one. I know people that go on their first cruise and they are hooked. We just got back from Maui (again) and we are already talking about our next trip over to the islands. We love it over there. As a matter of fact I just posted some vacation pics on my blog. Please stop by. I think you will enjoy them.
Take care, Susan

That color of blue water is my favorite too. It's just so serene. It's a great color to add to a bathroom, I like it!

I have to agree...cruises are so much fun! We just returned from our first.

Love the aqua blue in your pics BJ!

Barbara said...

BJ, I will go with you on a cruse or to the beach. Beautiful blues. I went to the lake yesterday to try and put out some 4th of July stuff,but after working on the deck about 15 minutes, I was wriging wet. Heat index was 108 at 6:30, it scares me.

Happy Blue Monday.

Opps, I can spell cruise.

Beverly said...

I also am longing to see the blues of the ocean, and to feel the warm breeze on my face. You took me there in my mind this morning.

Great idea to add the blues to your bath. It looks so pretty and refreshing.

ksarra said...

LOVE the touches of blue, BJ. Once again, you've given me an idea for my own home. I have an apothacary jar that needs a little something!

Knitty said...

I can sure identify with cruise blues!

Connie said...

I love the blue stones in the jar, honey! Just beautiful. I think I'd get used to living in a house by the sea..........yessss, very easily....

A cruise does sound wonderful in the midst of this wicked heat wave.

Southern Lady said...

I love your watery blues, BJ, and wish you could go "cruising" again. I know you and your family had a wonderful time last year.

We've got another two months to wait for our family vacation. We go to the mountains, and I'm counting the days (62 to go!).

Hope you're having a happy Blue Monday.

Take care ...

Oh yes! That aqua color is so pretty especially combined with chocolate brown. Those are the colors in Kandice's bedroom and bath of her new apartment. Those towels are sooo pretty. I best not show them to her or she'll try to talk you out of them. Ha! All of your pictures today are so pretty. You are a good picture taker. Have a wonderful day!
Love you!

Such beautiful blues and you're right, blue is a cool colour and that's good when you have the kind of heat you've been having! lol Now I want to go take a bath in your bathroom! lol I've never been on a cruise before but if that's the kind of beach that awaits me, maybe I should plan one! hehe Ooooh just thought of something...can you imagine all of us blogging buddies getting together for a cruise??? The ship and its staff may not survive it! lol xoxo
