Peacock Blue

Need a little color therapy?  How about one of my favorite colors, a deep rich Peacock Blue?  It's that perfect pop of color!

With such a subdued pallet, that pop of Peacock Blue adds a rich drama.

Fun and Hip.  A nice mixture of natural elements through the wood and a pop of energizing Peacock Blue!

How about an elegant and traditional look, with a color shock value?

Texture upon texture brings together this cozy feel with a POP.  The gold-shiny accent tables play off nicely with that Peacock Blue!

The color combination of the furniture selection add vibrancy while keeping the look sophisticated.


Nothing says "cozy-luxe" like velvet in a rich jewel tone.  Velvet doesn't have to be associated with winter, it can really lighten up a room.


Don't be afraid to embrace color, especially when you can surround yourself with touches of summer all winter long.  Remember that paint is not permanent! 


Can I please design the sets for Sex and the City?  This was Carrie's and Big's living room in the second movie. Again, a subdued pallet with a mixture of natural elements through the coffee table, mixtures of texture with silk, velvet, and suede.  There is that beautiful contrast between the Yellow/Gold artwork and the Peacock Blue sofa.


Do you remember this little number from the first movie?  Carrie's gorgeous Peacock Blue Blahniks that were left behind in that amazing closet Big built for her.  She never got to move into that closet, but she did wear these to the courthouse on her actual wedding day.


I think Sex and the City is obsessed with Peacocks and Peacock Blue as much as me!

A perfect eye-catching color, literally, to wear with a neutral outfit, such as black.  The trick is knowing how to blend the eyeshadow together.  Use a bit of light shimmery-silver eye-shadow to help blend that rich Peacock Blue.
Blake Lively looks glam and is glowing in this Marchesa Peacock inspired blue.
