In Need of Navy
Monday, August 16, 2010 at 9:39AM Ever since I designed this bedroom at my mom's house, navy has been on my mind. Even though her room is technically more of a cobalt than navy, it is close enough. After working on her bedroom I realized that while I don't have any navy in my house there is no shortage of it in my wardrobe. I have recently had to put a stop to all sailor striped tops - I think I have 3 now. Including this top I found last week.
The great thing about navy is it looks good with so many colors. Of course it looks great with white.

And, if you are Miles Redd, you can mix navy with all of the above.
Soon I will have navy in my house.

I love that last room, totally fabulous!
Navy and orange can never go wrong!
Pretty pics!!
I'm lovin' the navy color schemes lately too.....really considering the navy lacquer finish for a bar area....
thanks for sharing great photos....
My favorite is the house with the orange door ... of course.
I love the navy kitchen cabinets... and really would like to have a navy velvet tufted sofa.
I will consider orange throw pillows ..
I am afraid I would crash into the walls if I had room painted with stripes like the bathroom above lol.
Is this just the kappa in you--blue & blue? Or were you inspired by my bridesmaid dresses ; ) ?? Just kidding--I love all these too! I think the navy & white is my favorite, because it just feels like vacation.
