The Blue Period

The Blue Period
Going Monochromatic has long been a tool used to bring elegance into a home’s interior. A monochromatic palette in a room actually makes us feel peaceful and relaxed. If you’ve been keeping up with current trends, then you are fully aware that Blue is definitely having its moment to grace some of the most stylish homes.  Even in its most abstract or avant-garde, blue gives a room a gentle peaceful feel.  And rather than trendy, a monochromatic blue room becomes classic.

Happily channeling my inner Milton-Resnick (click here to learn more about the abstract expressionist Milton-Resnick 1917-2004: https://www.artsy.net/artist/milton-resnick ) and using the client’s own art piece  easily purchased at City Furniture( you’ve probably seen the piece used in their T.V. ads) , I created my own abstract expression. Starting with a Brilliant Blue base additional shades of indigo, pale blue, and dusky teal blue are blended in in undulating wave motions. The result: The whole entire wall back drop is now the art piece. Originally I thought the wall would serve to expand the canvas piece. But once painted, and doing my inner happy joy-joy dance, it was so stunning that neither myself nor the home owner wanted to cover it up. I like to think Milton was looking down from Heaven smiling and feeling proud. 








The blue theme is continued on the main floor into the dining room. The art pieces carry the abstract theme ( you can see them reflected in the dining room mirror ). A focal wall and tray ceiling are faux painted gentle metallic shades of the ocean.
