Feeling Blue

I firmly believe that some people are pink people, when they buy things they buy the item in pink if it is available, and some people are blue people, same idea but they buy the blue item. I'm a blue person all the way and I knew when I bought my first place I wanted my bedroom to be blue. I took my bedding (which had blue stripes) into the store picked the paint color that matched the best and painted away. Then the movers brought my furniture, I unpacked, pulled out my bedding, and put together the room that I was sure would look perfect. The perfection wasn't there, it didn't look horrible but it was not the bedroom of my dreams. I think I got a bit too matchy matchy on this one.

Now this picture was taken before I put anything on the walls or even had everything unpacked, but even after many months living in it the room never won me over. So what's a girl to do when her bedding doesn't work? Get new bedding, of course. My wonderful mother got all the hints I sent her way (I wonder if it was all the emails or the strategically placed catalog picture I left in the guest room when she came to visit?) and bought the bedding I had been lusting after for my Christmas present. I hate to admit it, but what I needed was something not blue. The results are the perfection I was looking for at long last. I guess liking other colors than blue is ok, but don't expect me to be paiting anything pink anytime soon, that might be too big of a step even for me.
