Friday Favorite: Pale Blue, the Color of Serenity

Friday, June 08, 2012

Happy Friday. Its seems that during the week we never stop running. Our to do lists never quite get completed and as we cross each item off, we just end up adding a few more. But then Shabbos and the weekend comes and all of the sudden we get to just stop.

Stop and breathe...

What I'm loving this Friday is pale blue, the color of serenity. We know our environment can affect our mood so why not envelope ourselves with soothing people, things and colors.

Here are some beautiful interior design inspirations featuring pale blue that I found on Pinterest:




Getting in the mood to just curl up and relax yet?
 Here are 5 ways to add some more serenity in your life:
1. Don't put yourself last. Respect your needs and care for them.
2. Relinquish trying to control others and try acceptance...even of things you don't like.
3. Try to be empathetic it will take your mind off of your own problems.
5. When things start to feel out of control take a deep breath a try be a force of calm in the center of the storm, eventually your calm will spread to others.
Have a beautiful weekend!

  2. Lovely! I avoid using blue in my home because I live in a cold climate (warm colors are a must!), but it is such a cooling, serene color. Thanks for sharing!

  10. Hello Sharon!
    What a lovely soft (French) blue mood you are bringing to us(: Our previous house had lots of this colour (bue-grays) and it is definitely calming and relaxing ... enjoying your tips for keeping cool too! They are so true, natural and obvious YET we tend to forget some of them sometime as we go busy about our life...thanks for the reminder.
    xo and lovely weekend to you too, Z

  12. Sharon,

    Such a beautiful color and decor. I love the little kitchen with porcelain sink.

    I agree.. those to-do lists are never ending (kinda like my grocery receipts!) Rest & relaxation, along with creating a home that helps us relax is essential.

    Enjoy your weekend!
