robin’s egg blue
Please don’t throw broken robin’s egg blue ball jars at me, but I have not yet jumped in on the robin’s egg blue club yet.
Except for the jars you see here.
Why not? I’m a little afraid of colour that stays around for any length of time. Now if it’s in small doses such as the ultra cool wall you see above, that’s pretty cool…
But when I see images like this,

I wonder what on earth I’m waiting for! So beautiful.
I mean, the gals that created this colour can’t be wrong, can they?
Even if they DID mess up where they displayed their vignette.
(we finally had our first 2010 home grilled steak in September)
Are you afraid of robin’s egg blue?
Show us fraidy cats the way in the 3rd themed linkup!

I love robin’s egg blue! It is one of my favourite colours, we have 2 rooms with robin’s egg blue in the colour scheme, and have crockery in the same colour too..
Sadly haven’t got a post with robin’s egg blue to link up though 🙁
After finally figuring out what I could paint… and coming up with an idea I REALLY like… monsoon season has hit TN. I’m hoping it dries off enough for me to finish it by Sunday night!
BTW, love that photo of your computer… the wood… and the dog food. If I walked by and saw that, I’d go introduce myself cause I could already see we’d get along! LOL
I’m with you, I’m just starting to sdd the color to my home. I do have about 10 of the blue canning jars now and I love them. Thanks for hosting again. Have a great weekend.
I’m not sure I would paint my walls blue, but I do like it as an accent. And of course…my fave are the mason jars.
Thanks so much for hosting another great party!

I love that Apt Therapy A-framed room! Also, loving that hutch/shelf with the milkglass. In my blue studio (which I linked), I have some wall shelves with all of my milkglass. It’s such a nice look. Thanks for hosting!!

Oh Man! I am working on a sewing desk right now that is this color! I’ll have to see if I can put the finishing touches on it before the party ends! I’m with you, I have always shied away from this color, but I love it! So, I decided to bite the bullet, I painted my sewing desk this robins egg type color. I figure, paint is relatively cheap, so if I don’t like it, I’ll redo it! Of course, I love it!
Thanks for the fun party again this week! I helped my friend with her laundry utility room redo and I think it turned out great so thought I would link this up this week!

Darn it – I just realized I submitted my link for a white china cabinet with ROBIN’S EGG BLUE interior into the wrong category! It’s late and my brain has obviously already shut down for the night.
Loving the robin’s egg blue eye candy. This color always gets me!
Hi Donna.
woo hooo! I finally had something I could post.
Now, if you do some black, crows, or nests, I’m ready for that too.
hugs and blessings you great hostess!!

I never heard of Robin’s Egg Blue before blogging and when I tried to get some at the paint shop here, the guy just stared at me in total bewilderment (as he often does because of my questions). So when I’ll be in the States in a couple of week I will be on the hunt for some REBlue eggs and paint, just so that I can finally figure out what color it really is and how it is called here.
I love color, but I am using is
t less and less as a major decoration color. (except for my girly girl room). But I love how a splash of color brings out the white and neutrals like nothing else.
I love robbin’s egg blue, too… not everywhere, but subtle uses of it here and there. I love all of your inspiration photos, Donna, especially that shot of your aqua mason jars… gorgeous!
Have a great weekend, my friend!

Walkin round my home I realized WOW! I have a lot of robin’s egg blue! I love it with a brown background…Beautiful! What a great party idea! I can’t wait to see everyone’s posts:)Alyssa of Boston Bee
Thanks for another super COOL link party! You rock!
Donna don’t be afraid to add a little robin egg blue to your domain! You KNOW you could always repaint! Maybe in the powder room? On the ceiling?
Thanks for the fun party, Donna. I had several links for Robin’s Egg Blue. I’m all about blue, and have been using it for several years now, so this was easy. The dishcloths were in the mail Friday (a bit later than expected.)
Oh wow! So many great ideas, so little time!

Thanks so much for hosting! I have lots of the blue, starting to add some oranges, greens and greys with it!
