I am so excited to have here today Sharon from Elizabeth and Co.. Sharon has been a cheerleader for me for quite some time- always quick with a kind word and friendly smile! I have had the opportunity to see Sharon a couple years in a row now as she has shopped at the Lucketts Spring Market and visited me there. I was thrilled when she told me she had started her own blog as well. She does beautiful work, and is a very inspirational woman!

{Martha Stewart}The power of blue can begin before you even step foot inside your home. According to Feng Shui philosophy, blue represents harmony, trust and loyalty. Having a blue front door will provide a safe and secure haven and create a sense of calm for all who enter.

As seen in nature, blue is the most versatile color out there. It mixes well with other colors and can take on a cool or warm feeling in a room. Using light shades will create an airy feel and visually expand a room. Consider using a light shade of blue on a ceiling. Using darker shades in a room can be dramatic and envelope you in warmth.
Blue and white kitchens are universally popular. This is a classic color combination that will never go out of style.

The body’s natural response to blue is relaxation. Simply being in a blue room has been shown to lower heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety levels. What a perfect color for a restful retreat.
