Blue Monday - Blue Bath

It's Blue Monday! To participate: just click here for BLUE MONDAY INSTRUCTIONS or check out the instructions in my sidebar.

Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are in our new home and because of the hours and hours of help from our wonderful children and grandchildren, we are "up and functioning." (Left to our own devices, Johnny and I would have needed months to get this far!)

We still have plenty to do, but the big push is over.

In our new master bath, we've used two colors from Sherwin Williams. One is 6115 Totally Tan, and the accent wall is 6478 Watery, an aqua blue! That is a temporary curtain you see covering the window. Remember, we only moved in Thursday.



One bedroom wall and the connecting hallway is the same 6478 Watery while the other three bedroom walls are the same 6115 Totally Tan. Because it's Blue Monday, I'm showing you much more of the 6478 Watery.

I'm including this picture so that you can see the arches that lead into the master bath. The doors on either side are closets.



Happy Blue Monday!

    Hi Sally...

    My friend, I am so happy to here that you are moved and settling into your new home! Ohhh my...I just love the beautiful colors that you have chosen! The watery blue is gorgeous...very soft and serene and it looks beautiful with the tan! Girl, that arch leading into your master bath is fabulous!!! I'm so very happy for you!!! Thank you for sharing your new home with us...I'm looking forward to seeing more!!!

    Also, thank you so much for hosting Blue Monday! Its been awhile since I've participated...mainly because I'm short on the color blue! Hehe! But I really do appreciate you, Sally...I know that it must be difficult juggling all that you have on your plate right now...and to continue to maintain this fun filled Tuesday party for us...well, it's so sweet of you!!!

    Warmest wishes and Christmas blessings to you and your family, my friend!

    Thanks so much, Sally, for hosting this day for so long. I am sad at times that I can't play along...just don't have too much blue.:( I've shared what I DO have several times but try to change it up some...But, I love seeing all the other blues around. And...somehow I just KNEW you would have some blue walls around!!
