Peacock Blue: Take Two

How about a little porn just in time for the weekend? The design kind of course! Actually it's a double feature. Not only do each of these rooms have exquisite peacock blue walls, they also each have gold convex mirrors! I have 3 convex mirrors in my own home. Love those too. This is all good....so good.  I've been going through some tear sheets and don't why I haven't shared these images with you before...so very sorry. Enjoy them and your holiday weekend!

The walls are fabric and much richer in the photo.

A scan does not do this justice! The walls are lacquered

    I have just died and gone to heaven! That first photo and then the bedroom is how I would like bookshelves, and of course the peacock blue is a great highlight!

    I am starting to feel that color is being embraced again and brought back into the home - the sterile neutral environment does not feel as fun and welcoming. Plus it can always be repainted - although I just read your post on the rising costs of paint. Eek!

    I adore peacock blue...such a regal color. Somehow it manages to be bold yet understated (how does it do that?!?!?)

    Fabulous! Reggie is also partial to convex mirrors and has two of them at Darlington House. It is all I can do not to buy more of them. But peacock blue walls? Now that's something to consider! Thank you. RD

    I love this deep blue color! This spring, I plan to paint our office using benjamin moore's "hale navy" and I'm so excited! Thanks for the reassurance on this dark color! :)

    Beautiful....I love those mirrors. My grandmother had one.....come to think of it, wonder where it is since she went on to heaven? I remember as a girl trying to look in it!
    Happy weekend!

    I have one convex
    mirror and I love it,
    too. The bedroom with
    the book cases really
    drew me in, but all of
    these images are great!
    Happy Sunday,
    xx Suzanne
