With Covid quarantine, I wonder if you are like me.. I can’t keep up with what day it is... why, I even had to ask hubs last night if it was summer yet, last night!
I have been looking forward to summer, we’ve had so much rainy, weather, we’ve looking forward to sun and clear skies ahead!
That got me thinking about my favorite summer color combination, yellow and blue!
I love to redo the dining room seasonally, so out came the blue dinnerware, and yellow linens.
Some of my favorite yellow and blue pinterest ideas are these:
These inspired me to decorate for summer using the sunshine yellow and the skies of blue!
Another element of the design was inspired by the hydrangeas growing in my garden!
Summer is the season of fun so to be fun I jazzed up the napkin folds.. I used coordinating napkins and doubled them to show off over the top fleur-di-lys design..
Another fun way to jazz up a table is to use mix -matched china patterns. I have several sets of blue and white as I collect them whereever I can find them..
Now I am going off the rules, perhaps.. I want to share my daughter's photos she sent this week from her garden..
The top of her hydrangea and the side...
Clearly she takes the prize and see... nature is into the yellow and blue, as well!!!

Gorgeous! My kitchen is yellow, our spare bedroom is yellow and our living room is blue. I have absolutely no decoration sense and never even thought about combining them, hello!! Now I'm going to keep my eyes open for blue and yellow decor! Thank you! Sometimes a girl just needs a little help. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you; yellow and blue is a perfect combo for the summer months. Your table is so pretty and I love the mix of patterns and your lovely napkins! Yellow and blue reminds me of a day at the beach when we are surrounded by blue water, sky, and the yellow ball in the sky which lends us such warmth and beauty this time of year. By the way, I mentioned you in my post this week if you care to take a peek. :-) Have a wonderful weekend Schotzy! Hugs...Sandi
ReplyDeleteOh my those hydrangeas are beautiful. I love your dining room. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. I am now a follower of you blog and will be back to visit again soon. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHey....I want to comment but my laptop keeps saying this is a 'dangerous site". I've tried twice now to post a comment and it's not leeting me. Let me know if this works.
ReplyDeleteI love your dining room colors. I use the same ones in the summer months. We always have to eat in the dining room as our kitchen is not an eat -in kitchen. My kitchen is currently barn red and cream with hints of blue. I love your flowers too!! Yes, each time I log in to your blog a warning box pops up saying my laptop virus ware has blocked a suspicous activity. My husband seems to think (he's a software engineer) that it's connected to your previous post. :)
ReplyDeleteI love yellow and blue together...very summery! Those hydrangea bush is stunning. I have not had any luck growing those though.
ReplyDeleteI love blue, too! Mostly, I have turquoise and sea blues in my decor.
ReplyDeleteThose hydrangeas! WOW! They're wonderful!
I hope you are having a happy, sunny week!
