The Little Blue Table That Could

When Rhoda was here, we went to my favorite consignment shop and we saw this little blue table. I thought it might be the perfect one to go beside our yellow chair in the living room. I didn't get it though - I left it behind.

A couple of days later, as I was sweeping up hairballs beside the yellow chair, I realized that the little blue table COULD go perfectly in the living room, so I went back to the shop, hoping it would still be there -  and it was! The sweet salesperson even reduced its' already low price!

Now my question for you is - should the table stay blue or would it look better in red?

I think I'm liking the punch of blue ......

Hmmm - what to do, what to do!

That is a tough one! I love the blue, why not live with that until you tire of it, then paint it when you are ready for a change. xo, suzy

Hi Kim! Is there anyway you could take a picture so we could see it with everything else? I could probaby answer the question better? Its a darling question. I love the blue. I would just want to see the blue in the entire room... Thanks!!!!

I like it blue! It looks cute the way it is, and I agree with Suzy, you can always repaint it when you get bored with it!

What a darling table! That's just what I'm looking for to put by my chair in the living room. I hope I can find something like that soon. I like the blue but agree that you can always paint it if you get tired of the color. Did you notice how it is the color of the book on the piano?

I am not a blue girl (I would most likely pain it red) but that shade of blue is indeed pretty and really says "Summer". So, perhaps leave it alone until Fall and then get out that paint can! :-) Rosie

I love the blue...and that is coming from a red gal! I say leave it but never be afraid to change your mind! I love your home and love to peek in. Thanks for sharing!

I just noticed the books on the piano in the same colors. That really ties everything together. You are so talented!

that little gem would be pretty ANY color.

I think the blue looks great for this season! Plus, I already see it picking up hints of cooler colors like blue and green in just this small picture, like the two books on the piano and the grass in the painting on the wall. Enjoy the blue punch for a while! I love it!

[Kathy :)]

Oh I love the blue Kim....I see the blue book on top of the piano and it blends so nicely. But you know best....you always do a wonderful job. Oh that is the sweetest table ever it has such a Daisy Cottage feel to it, if tables could speak it would be CHEERING...so happy YOU brought her home !!!

Have a great day Kim,
Kathy ;)

I'd keep it blue until another mood strikes! As one who used a lot of blue in our home in the distant past, I culled it all over the years and have just recently started to add a bit back-- most likely, this is due to all the blue inspiration I've resisted the past few years. Sure looks great in your charming home! PS Isn't it fun shopping with Rhodie???

No need to get the paint bucket out. The winner by far is BLUE....:) It's the perfect touch and just pops out to say..LOOK AT ME.!!!
I Love it....:)

Hugs from me and Pearl,

A "punch of blue" is right and looks so fresh and inviting. Try it for awhile ... paint is always there if you want it!

[Donna]

Hi Kim. How about blue if you send it to me, and red if you decide you really, really have to keep it for yourself :) Love it either way, but I just love all the red and black touches in your home, so I'm saying either red or black... Donna

I am by far no expert when it comes to interior design, that is why I frequent your site. However, I really like the blue. I am normally not a blue person but I think it is a great accent piece in that color. I also like what someone said above about leaving it blue for the summer (it is a summery color) and maybe painting it in the fall. The longer you live with it, the more you'll know exactly what you want.

I vote for blue. That blue book on your piano is calling out for a blue cousin in the room!

[Andrea]

Boy, I love red, but that blue is soooo pretty. I would live with it a while.....

[Karla]

Definitely leave it blue. It is like a breath of fresh air and isn't the color the reason you were drawn to it to begin with?

The blue is great! I'd leave it blue. What a pop.

[Meghan]

GO RED!
GO RED!

[Sheila]

Love, love, love the blue. I vote keep the blue!!! Blue, red, yellow is a classic combination. Looks great as it is.

Keep up the good work, Sheila from Michigan

Hi Kim,
Isn't it wonderful when we go back to get something and it is still there. That's when you realize it is truly meant for you. I absolutely am crazy about the blue in there. The books tie it in. I think you should definitely leave it. It really pops.

Hugs,
LeAnn :)

Hi Kim...I asked J this morning if we have to do anything at all today and he said no, so I'm visiting my blogs and catching up on a little bit of rest, before we start over again next week!

So happy I stopped by here.

I would definitely leave the table blue. I've been seeing this color quite a bit, this spring and believe the table is perfect, not only for the punch of blue. It also adds bit of the unexpected!

Blue, Blue!! I love the particular blue that it is and it matches one of your books, so I think it's meant to be!! So cute!!
