Am I Blue? YES!

This was my Den "before".  A little bland I thought.  That gold couch has been amongst Moss Green walls in previous abodes so of course I was not content with the vanilla of the Ranch.   However, it has been a dilemma to find a color that wouldn't clash with the "lovely" brick on the wall.  Also, I have a thing for Blue and White pots and dishes, as you may have noticed, and this color really does not show them off well at all.


So I thought I had this great idea..........blue!  Or shall we say Knoxville Gray (officially)?


I'm less than pleased with the result.  Maybe a black glaze should be added?  And yes, I meant to make the closet door go away.  And yes, I wish I had plumped up those down cushions before taking this pic.  Perhaps after I get some stuff up on the wall it will be more palatable.  What are your thoughts?

Thanks for visiting Linderhof!
