Here's some blue in a bookcase that's located in our home office. I took a calendar picture of a place in Italy and inserted it into this blue frame. Notice the blue basket and blue book.


Here's a shot without the glare from the camera. The frame is really a blue-gray color, while the picture is full of blue  water.
To turn our home into a house so that a buyer might be more interested, we removed the wallpaper and painted it a neutral color. I shared that with you earlier.

I needed some neutral art to hang on the wall to replace the personal things we had before. I took an old picture of the family, painted the gold frame white, and put a piece of the former wallpaper in it. Then, I placed another page from the same calendar. You can see blue in the wallpaper as well as in the picture. Here's how it turned out.
