A Blue Phase :: Am I depressed or just American?

May 19, 2016 · In: Art, Closet, DIY, Eat, Fashion, Interior Design, Kitchen

 | Featured on House of Valentina
Have you ever noticed yourself veering towards one color? ย I’ve been craving the color blue lately. ย I bought a blazer, more jeans, a denim shirt, a blue vase for my mom… and then I started to wonder. ย Am I depressed? ย Isn’t that what a blue phase symbolizes? ย Or is this just an American thing? ย Americans seem to do blue a lot more than Europeans… an observation that I cannot verify with hard facts but feel my experience will give me enough clout to convince you.

When I bought a navy blue polka dot skirt, I really started to panic. ย What is wrong with me?? ย Maybe I’m not taking this move back to America very well. ย Maybe Iย lost all sense of my personal style over the Atlantic.

Just short of huddling in a corner, wrapping my arms around my body and rubbing vigorously in search of comfort and understanding, I googled the meaning of blue.

Here is what I found:

“Blueย is the color of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. Itย symbolizesย trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven.ย Blueย is considered beneficial to the mind and body.”

Whew! ย Not only am I not depressed or craaazy (said with my best Olaf imitation)… I’m rock solid. ย Stable. ย Deep. ย That’s me for sure… because the Color Wheel Pro told me so and if the Color Wheel Pro says I’m ok, then clearly I must be a breath away from leaping into the day with rainbows overhead and unicorns serenading me as I dance with elves…

Want to join my blue obsession? ย I promise you don’t have to be depressed or American… Sane, though? ย Thatย is optional.

Comment FALL to get the links! (& find more inspo!) 

Guys!! Iโ€™m so happy right now Iโ€™m about to cry! The cuteness factor is off the charts!! Iโ€™m so excited to see our vision for our fall porch come together complete with pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!! 

And can we talk about Louis in his adorable fall sweater?! And the wreaths (they are faux!!!) and the lanterns and the flickering pumpkins?!!! 

If you could die from cuteness overload Iโ€™d be a goner! Hahaha but thankfully it looks like Iโ€™ll be holding on for a few more days and greeting our kids as they come home for fall here and it wonโ€™t be long and this will be getting a little Halloween overlay for trick or treaters! 

To me, these are the greatest moments of life. Creating a home that says โ€œwelcome home!โ€ I hope in our own little way we can inspire you as well! As always, sending so much love from our home to yours! XxV
