I'm Alena from <a href="http://www.ohitsjustperfect.com/">Oh, It's Just Perfect!</a> and I've been a huge fan of 10 Rooms for a while now, so I'm pretty excited to be guest posting here today about my favorite color. Blue has been my favorite color for as long as I can remember. Not just any blue, but bold, bright blues like sapphire blue, royal blue and cobalt blue. I love the brightness, the intensity and that it actually works with my skin tone (my skin tone is pale, pale, pale). So, while Anne-Marie is living it up on her girl's trip, we can partake in some virtual shopping for some bold and bright blue items. <br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/23764822_040_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/23764822_040_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$" width="213" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/product/home-hardware/23764822.jsp">Cobalt Knob</a>. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/8/optimized/1205168_fpx.tif?wid=460&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/8/optimized/1205168_fpx.tif?wid=460&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/f9n8fkhjce">Samarkand Dinnerware.</a> </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/3/optimized/1272593_fpx.tif?wid=460&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://images.bloomingdales.com/is/image/BLM/products/3/optimized/1272593_fpx.tif?wid=460&qlt=90,0&layer=comp&op_sharpen=0&resMode=bicub&op_usm=0.7,1.0,0.5,0&fmt=jpeg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www1.bloomingdales.com/shop/product/catherine-malandrino-dress-peek-a-boo-with-three-quarter-sleeves?ID=594559&CategoryID=21683&LinkType=#fn=COLOR%3DBlue%26spp%3D24%26ppp%3D96%26sp%3D2%26rid%3D61">Peek-A-Boo Lace Dress</a>. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/960076_049_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://images.anthropologie.com/is/image/Anthropologie/960076_049_b?$redesign-zoom-5x$" width="266" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://rstyle.me/g6qq4vhjce">Louisa Settee</a>. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Alena</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="82" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv6LGUuPNQdPYfU9VhDdsmJTUEJ78zXIVN22gy8M5vMprH8ugurkmdIB05ZLECg2PtrZJoSHk7KynCYDdzucbE0jO0Q-q3W_fm8Q904JTlJhuI7afR_Ual4frTGXoKvJVI_xb19-O2lDaf/s200/flourish_one_horizontal_01_xxl.png" width="200" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><i>Thanks so much, Alena!

Thank you so much to Anne-Marie for having me. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZsTvYaiOF5lqH7qSY3lE5lcmFEDvoxj36-yCNj9kvTdxD1HteqtdPMkcVkU1yGneSnY2MkvUK3WQhU4Dhnso4ZMErx3uDmtKcXrqKI8C0NYSE0rcVNL1AngmEdr1Y__vk_9seAmBGkOZb/s1600/grey-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZsTvYaiOF5lqH7qSY3lE5lcmFEDvoxj36-yCNj9kvTdxD1HteqtdPMkcVkU1yGneSnY2MkvUK3WQhU4Dhnso4ZMErx3uDmtKcXrqKI8C0NYSE0rcVNL1AngmEdr1Y__vk_9seAmBGkOZb/s1600/grey-1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://lottaagaton.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">image link</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br />So let's jump right in, shall we? These days, when it comes to interior design, I have a serious crush on GREY. Grey is often overlooked as a color because it is an achromatic or neutral colour. Yet, it has so much potential. It's my silent hero. Admittedly, grey does have a bit of a bad rap. It is often associated with notions like dullness, bad weather, old age, boredom, and conformity. But this last 'flaw' is what makes grey so great in my eyes. It conforms - blends, adapts, and supports - it can be so many things and it's all up to you to decide. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCujsUc4D8nIrcRJ3Z5Qo2jTfWNwEvP4NMjHX-6mA4dL4bg5hQV6t0H0KIEuwdJlu6-DPHoG32fvjbcXCHlSLp0nucM181Q-H8t803CrKeCX8HvQCzrXuQtCEfqamrgVWuQCoT0UQp_hf/s1600/grey-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJCujsUc4D8nIrcRJ3Z5Qo2jTfWNwEvP4NMjHX-6mA4dL4bg5hQV6t0H0KIEuwdJlu6-DPHoG32fvjbcXCHlSLp0nucM181Q-H8t803CrKeCX8HvQCzrXuQtCEfqamrgVWuQCoT0UQp_hf/s1600/grey-2.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.jamesgeer.com/" target="_blank">image link</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br />To understand the versatility of grey, one must realize that there are endless varieties of it, just like with other colours. Grey can be just as cool as it can be warm and therefore it can be easily and appropriately adapted to any interior colour scheme. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF4sj9Fuq2Quui6ZBU_I0cqWjC2qIv1dDyVfFi3L9Juthp7vSYe1vXY32stn96m2P4AOqmmexlVXFT0JGTSMEJ3y-Gg1Hi_wRzCAwDO9IFKDRbqwXkSU7M61F5ufEC2pa307IBHO-pu7Pq/s1600/grey.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF4sj9Fuq2Quui6ZBU_I0cqWjC2qIv1dDyVfFi3L9Juthp7vSYe1vXY32stn96m2P4AOqmmexlVXFT0JGTSMEJ3y-Gg1Hi_wRzCAwDO9IFKDRbqwXkSU7M61F5ufEC2pa307IBHO-pu7Pq/s1600/grey.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.hvhinteriors.com/" target="_blank">image link</a></td></tr></tbody></table><br /><br /><br /><br />My favourite interior scheme at the moment is Grey paired with other neutrals, such as white, black and brown. I find it very calming and grounding. Metallic Greys can add a bit of glamor or industrial flair.
