I've been showing pictures of our new home, and today I have our Family Room to share with you. Last week, I teased you with a peek, looking from the Dining Room. Here's a copy of that shot.
Although blue is both Johnny's and my favorite color, it gets only a slight nod in our Family Room. Do you spot it?
Here's a closer shot. I've turned the lamps on so that you might see the blue more clearly.
Give up? Here's a close-up of our blue pitcher. Placing it here, draws the eye from the front door. I like to have rooms flow into one another. You've seen the Foyer, Living Room, and Dining Room, so you know that there's plenty of blue to be seen in those areas. I imagine that some would argue these rooms don't flow; however, we're pleased with the results.

Hi Sally!
I am so enjoying seeing your new home. I have been excited about it for you all these past months.
Hi Sally,
I love seeing your new home and how you have decorated it. I love the reds you have decorated with too. (red goes with blue perfectly!)
Happy blue Monday...

How fun to see your home!
I was glad that I was able to join in on Blue Monday though my blue post is a bit of a deconstruction of such- Hopefully it will bring a bit more pretty blue its way-
Sally you are making beautiful progress in your home. You must be pleased with the move for sure. Thank you for posting the Blue Mondays for us each week. I appreciate you doing this for all of us. Much love to you this week, Cherie
I see the blue.
Couple of pieces on top of hutch, and inside, and bowl on table.
thanks for hosting

I see the blue tooo ,D!
Happy Blue Monday, Sally!
Hugs...Luna
I love your new home, Sally ... it's so elegant, yet warm and welcoming, too. I especially like your ceilings with the striking dark trim.
And the soft blue "frames" in your living room are the icing on the cake -- just perfect!
Thank you for taking time out from decorating your lovely home to host our "Blue Mondays."
This pictures are pretty. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy Blue Monday. Mine is ready also.
Mine is here
Your blue pitcher is beautiful! What lovely decorating in all your rooms! Enjoy! Happy BLUE Monday!
I saw it right away. It is beautiful, as is the room.
I thought for a bit that maybe there was blue in the area rug.
Have a great day. Thanks for hosting Blue Monday!

What a pretty and inviting room. I just love those lamps! I like all of the colors you chose. Very pretty! You have done a wonderful job decorating your new home.
Good morning my friend. I spotted the wall behind the china cabinet that is a pastel blue. Also blue pieces in the cabinet. It is a beautiful touch. However, I LOVE your accent wall in the family room. You stepped away from your pastels and it looks beautiful. The single blue pitcher is all you need to bring the rooms together. The red lamp and the blue pitcher together is lovely. I think the rounded doorway is lovely and I think that is a shelf where the greenery is displayed. The detail in the construction is the added touch of surprise. Sally, can you tell, I love your new home and your decor? BIG smile!
Hugs, Jeanne
Thanks for sharing pictures of your new home with us! Just beautiful!
Sally you have lovely colors in your home...and I love just that hint of blue!!~
Sally, thanks so much for hosting this blue party. This is my first time joining since I am pretty new to blogland. You have a lovely home with the touches of blue and I love the red lamp next to the blue pitcher....Kim
How neat to have a new home Sally! The pitcher is very pretty~ Cindy

Your new place is so gorgeous! And I love that red on the walls - the blue pitcher looks great against all the red. I know you're happy to be all settled in now. Have a wonderful Monday!
Here's my Blue Monday offering from Joysweb.
Hi Sally, Your living room has a very cozy and comfortable feel to it. That is just the way we like to decorate too. Your blue vase/pitcher is great...looks handmade.
♥, Susan
Well Sally---you can't ever say that you have a BLUE home anymore, can you???? I do love that blue pitcher though... Very pretty...
How do you like that reddish color??? I'm not sure I'd ever be bold enough to choose that color --but it looks good in your home.
Hugs,
Betsy

Whether a hint or blow the doors off all blue, a room just needs that touch of a warm sunny sky.
Nice pitcher.
Blue MONDAY wishes ;-)
Thank you Sally for visiting me, and telling me! I was linked, but disappeared apparently, and had to do it again! ~tina

My son said That's so gross, find out why.
You did use blue very nicely. And it's so nice of you to host this, it's been so much fun for me.

You have a lovely home! Mary :O)
I spotted the blue vase first thing. All your home that you have shown is very, very nice, I am not sure which area I like the best. Just the right amount of blue to add to the area.
Sally, I'm so impressed with your new home. The love you've put into it shows in every room. I love your vase. I hope you are having a wonderful day. Blessings...Mary
I love the blue pitcher against the burgandy or cranberry accessories and walls. Maybe next week I'll post my cranberry walled dining room with blue furniture and plates, etc.
Your house is just gorgeous Sally and I am loving the colors that you have chosen... and the little BLUE pitcher! Have a great day!
(((HUGS)))
Donna
What a gorgeous house - hope you have a terrific week!
x Lola:)
Whew!! I wasn't sure if I was going to make it home in enough time to post my blues for the week. Your home is very beautiful!Always look foward to seeing what BLUE you will post!! Have a wonderful week!!
Just wanted to make sure it is OK that I am listing a bunch of Monday posts with yours.
I saw other bloggers doing it, and it is easier than doing a bunch of separate posts.
Please let me know if it is not ok. =0))
thanks for coming by

the vase is perfect! and I love the idea of the shelf on the one wall. that is very cool.
I saw the pitcher immediately because I love how the color contrasts the gorgeous color of the wall. But I also noticed some lovely blue in your gorgeous rug.
I forgot to add my post to the linky late last night.... I must have been really tired. I guess it's closed already, so here it is:

What lovely tall ceilings! I love the blue pitcher, such a soft shade of blue.
I've posted a BLUE shot, but it's not Monday, so I guess Mr. Linky is closed. If you have time to visit, it's here:

OMGosh, SALLY!! RED in your new home? Well....I never, once, thought you'd do red,.just imagined it would be blue, if any.
WOW...it looks absolutely AMAZING. It really does. Your new home is so beautiful, Sally. I just love every thing I've seen!!
hugs, bj
Your home is gorgeous. I think the piece of blue just pops in the room. Fantastic.
