Just a note: I have compiled these fabric combinations working from images online so please forgive me if in reality they don't work as well together! Most shops are happy to provide swatches.

Glenda-
I, too, swooned looking at the loveliness of the muted blue. I like it best with the whitewashed wood, but the fabrics you chose are just breathtaking.
And I love how you combine the paint swatches for further inspiration!
Well I want them all! too lovely to have to choose between them.
You have been tagged - please see my post today, however I really do understand if you are too busy.

Hello Glenda
I love the mix of the simple cotton checks with the gorgeous patterned linens. It's a very clever meshing of the simple with the luxurious.

Well, all I can say is that I love everything in this post. Blue is my favorite color...All shades from the palest blue grey to the darkest navy blue. This is a wonderful post!
