When it came right down to it, I really couldn’t decide on which room to choose for today… so I chose both. And it’s not hard to see why… It’s that bold, bold blue! Amongst other things of course. The first room, the ‘library’ belonging to Jeanette Whitson, is a heavenly little escape for reading… [...]
I’ve been quite obsessed with this palette for a while now – or at least variations of it. This shot from Lonny Mag always had me at hello with the peachy drapes, teal-green lamp, and a touch of navy blue mixed with all that warm camel… But I have to say I’ve never seen it [...]
B. Wow. I second that BOLD look. While I tend to stick with neutrals for my own home, I really love this color scheme.
Jackie Have always loved that room from good friend and designer extraordinaire Angie Hranowsky!
Sweet Peas Design Loving the pretty pinks and blues! So inspirational!!
FripperyVintage Love pink and camel together, works just as well with clothing
kristen rivoli wow, I really love this color combo! it’s not one you see every day, in fact not a lot. really love the teal color, it’s so rich. I’d love to stay in that room at the Gramercy Hotel too!
Katie@mydiyhabits.blogspot.com/ Love Love Love…spring refresh it is! Can’t wait to see your interpretation!
The result of an extra day off yesterday? A few more hours than usual spent on Pinterest. So I thought it was time to bring back another PinPals post to share a few of my favorites… How gorgeous are these floral swags? They’re making me want to throw a garden party! Maybe alongside one of [...]
Quinn Cooper I did a photo shoot at the hotel with the NEON sign. Such a pretty little boutique hotel in Austin called Saint Cecilia. I was modelling for a converse photo shoot and they made me stand right in front of that sign where there is basically a foot of space between the wall and the pool. I definitely almost fell in a couple of times.

Cassandra LaValle Post author yesss – it’s my favorite hotel down there! love everything about it, jealous you got to shoot there!
marta almiñana Really nice colours and pics!
Ever since this editorial highlighting the saturated aqua kitchen of Veronica Beard, I’ve dreamt of adding this kick of color to my own little galley kitchen… Granted, spaces with higher ceilings than mine and definitely more light are a bit better at absorbing the impact of such a ridiculous amount of paint, but do not fear – [...]
Jess Aqua!
Keridwyn I think a blend of aqua with yellow accents would be really nice!
Angee Robertson My vote is on the aqua. Yellow can be expected in the kitchen but aqua is a little unexpected. You are also right that yellow can either go really wrong or really right. I think the thing to consider is the style of your kitchen how those two colors jive with the vibe if you will. Good luck!
Katie While I like the idea of the bright yellow kitchen, I am loving aqua. It is a bold color, but it is also relaxing and happy. Can’t wait to see your makeover!
Anna Louisa Aqua all the way!
Cinderella Patch I vote for the yellow on the bottom left corner. It’s somehow less jarring and happy. I love turquoise but a little goes a long way!!
Lisa | Happy By I have been a fan of aqua and mint kitchens for a while now and I’d definitely go with that color. Considering you will do minor changes and the space is not too big, it will help pop up the color. With yellow, I think you need to get really bold with color (hot midday sun aka sunflower) or go bold with surface/design. I’m looking forward to see how it turns out.
Have a great week 
xo
Kathleen Yellow, done with a scandinavian vibe. Aqua will look incredibly dated in a year or two.
Marie Not a fan of the aqua, at least not that much of it, but a yellow or mint kitchen would be lovely. White cabinets with navy and aqua accents could be classy though.
Lejla Aqua!!
YOLONDA Aqua! I think you would grow tired of the yellow; its not a year around color like the blue.
maison21 yellow!
sunshine! daffodils! lemondrops!
Amanda Aqua has my vote!
Lara Lewis Aqua! Maybe even aqua cabinets on bottom and grey on top. Good luck!
Susan Garnett Aqua, without a doubt! Yellow is expected, aqua isn’t. The aqua looks fresh, clean and cool.
Rachel Our kitchen walls are Farrow & Ball’s Dayroom Yellow. We tried a dozen Benjamin Moore colors, but should have went with Farrow & Ball from the outset. The company has maybe a half dozen yellows, ranging from light to deep gold, but they are so exquisitely crafted, that one of the six will surely work if you go the yellow route.
Cassandra LaValle Post author great advice – thank you rachel! farrow & ball certainly surpasses most in their quality and color selection!
Punctuation Mark Love the yellow… It’s so vibrant!
Joanna aqua all the way!
Sammy Although I love both I think I love aqua just a liiiiiiiiittle bit more! Color theorists say that yellow makes you hungry, though. (Could be a good and bad thing!)
mari Yellow, for sure!
With touches of aqua.
Perfection.
(Good luck!)
Preciously Me For me AQUA!!!!!!!
Julia @cuckoo4design I’m usually a silent reader but I have to chime in and add my name to the aqua list. And I’m seriously obsessed with those hicks pendant lights from circa lighting in the second kitchen photo.
Tiffany D'Souza Definitely the aqua! Yellow in the kitchen is expected and can be overwhelming sometimes. The aqua is calming.
Hope I always lean towards any kind of blue, so my vote is for aqua. Sarah Richardson did an amazing yellow kitchen on her show Sarah’s House. Not sure which season, but it was a farmhouse in the country. Check it out. In my opinion, she used the perfect amount of yellow and tempered it’s vibrancy with neutrals.
Brit Aqua – love love love it!
Lauren Aqua for sure! It’s an amazing color to accent any room! And I think it has a bit more depth than yellow
Tammie Burton I vote for Aqua with a vase of yellow tulips and a bowl of lemons to add a pop of yellow! Can’t wait to see the finished project!!
Louise No to aqua. I love it, but we had it before, and if you’re a big cook, you’ll get this, it makes all the food look horrid!! Put me off baking, cooking and I hated it. But I did lose weight……so Aqua if you want to drop some pounds!
Cassandra LaValle Post author Louise, I know exactly what you’re saying and I hadn’t even thought about that!! I do suppose it could be the only diet that might work on me, but that’s no reason to try it! Eek. Thanks for the practical tip!
Tanya aqua if you have windows, yellow if you don’t!!
Anne Lubner Either color will look great, but the answer is really inside you. Paint some poster boards in each color, tack them up and live with them for a couple days. See which one makes you happiest!
Joyce Ward I vote for a lemon yellow- it will always may you feel good when you walk inside. For 25 years I have had a yellow kitchen – still in love with itI I grew up with an aqua kitchen- as a child walls, curtains, & accessories-grew tired of it-just saying. Experience is the best teacher…..
Now, before you get too excited, this post has nothing to do with your wardrobe and everything to do with my tree… (although we’ve got one of those wardrobe posts coming soon too!). Last week when I pulled all my decorations out of hiding, I took a look at what I had done for the [...]
Naomi A I’m diggin the navy velvet! So gorgeous!
Kelly / Fabulous K Love it! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Tiffany Love these colors right now!
Cecilia I have these blue and green glittery shoes from J.Crew that go perfectly with thsi post. Love the color combination. xoxo
Jill This color palette is so gorgeous, you’ve inspired me to nix my usual gold and red combo and go for something new!
Cassandra LaValle Post author yay! i love hearing that! you’ll have to come back to let me know what you end up doing!! xo
Hilary I always go for color during the holidays. My favorite colors to wear during christmas are maroon, kelly greens, neon greens.. etc. I like to play up red + green without wearing the classic red and green christmas colors. Have a wonderful day and happy blogging!
XX Hilary
Maria @ Inspiration Affirmation Oooh, I am so excited! I love that your tree is black — what a statement! Looking forward to the reveal!
Paulette @ Layla Grayce Did you see Emma Stone wearing the Burberry? LOVED her in that dress!
Shaun Wolchinsky That is so funny, I’m doing the same colors on my kitchen tree. I will add varied hues of copper to mine. Good luck with yours. I just love the holidays
Andi of My Beautiful Adventures Love these colors!
Lisa @ Modern Vintage Love Those are the colors I use each year, with silver and a little bit of lime green for accent. It’s beautiful when you add in peacock feathers. Your tree will be gorgeous!
Being that the grey has settled in around here, I’ve been in nesting mode lately. Piling on pillows and blankets around the house, and swapping out some more of the cheery spring and summer palette for neutrals. But the second, I saw this moody, dark and cozy space, I was instantly re-inspired to bring back [...]
lily That chair and the chandelier are absolutely amazing!!!

Franki A “Happy Place.” Luv the pedstal table. franki
Le living and co. Great tips on incorporating fuschia. I think it’s a lovely colour when done right. I like the idea of pairing it with wood so it’s less overwhelming.
Shanna Wilson That floral couch is to die for (as is the blue abstract above it) – whose house is this? And where can I find that incredible fabric?!
It took every muscle in my body to not start this post with I’m blue, da ba dee da ba di… and you can see why! Cristina here, and while reviewing the fashion week street style I happened upon this outstanding color trend. There is something very Violet Beauregarde (of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) about this look, to [...]
julie LOVE the post. Gorgeous and inspiring. I blogged about mixing cobalt blue with oxblood but I love this option too. May give it a try myself !
wmbg blue is such a power color, especially in the bright hue you’ve picked to feature.
at 6 mos preggo, if i did head to toe blue, i’d really would look like violet after she broke the rules and chewed the gum. haa.
Franki GO FOR IT!!!! franki
camille @ wildfleur Such a striking shade of blue. Really beautiful
xx camille @ wildfleur
Sarah Lovely! I just bought a new bag in exactly this Monaco Blue color (at least thats what it’s called if you ask Pantone). I’m ready to fully commit!
jennifer elizabeth oh this is SO me. i would rock this cobalt blue shade from head to toe, no problemo. rachel zoe does look pretty incredible. love the fit of her suit.
Give Take Wear That coat is so gorgeous! Must have it! xoxo
life is in the details. style accordingly.
Gorgeous!
Yes, there better be a flat screen across from that perfect velvet dream of a sectional. Need to get my hands on that
That kitchen!! Absolutely stunning….besides the obviously gorgeous cabinets and flooring, the hardware and mirrored island are to die for!
Can I just LIVE there???? These rooms are so, so, SO amazing!!! That shade of blue has to be one of my all-time favorites.

That ceiling is spectacular!
That shade of blue is beautiful!
I love books, I love the color blue, and I love a big comfy couch…when can I move in here??
Love it
I want to sink into that blue tufted sofa and look up at the stunning ceiling!! Not a detail was missed. http://www.presenceofpiermont.com
Well i can see why you couldn’t choose! That blue is stunning. Is that a mirrored island in the kitchen? So clever.
Obsessed with that floor! Not sure when the poolhouse kitchen will happen (if ever), but I’ll take that kitchen for my everyday one. Love the mirror on the island too – so unique.
