I’ve Got The Monday Blues-Porches Style

June 17, 2013 By Meegan 4 Comments

It’s a beautiful Summer Monday!  And, I’ve the the Monday Blues-Porches Style.

And oh my goodness, are they ever amazingly gorgeous!! Have you thought of painting your porch ceiling blue?  In the Carolinas, the color was thought to ward off “haints” or evil spirits, so homeowners began using it to paint their porch ceilings.  Hence the name “haint blue” .  Although others believe blue keeps your porch cooler.  Whatever reason you choose to have a blue porch, I LOVE it!!

Whether you have a large small porch or patio, the blues are calming and relaxing.

House Pretty

So easy to paint your ceiling and your floors with a hint of blue.  Adding textures and reds finishes it off.

Apartment Therapy

I really like this!  No matter how small, you can still make your home inviting with blue stairs.  LOVE it!!

Coastal Living

And, of course, you don’t always have to paint the floor or ceiling.  Simply add a blue and white striped rug for that beachy, cottage feel.

I have been completely inspired and I hope you have too!  I have the Monday Blues-Porch Style, and I can’t wait to work on my balcony to make it a blue haven!!

I’d love for you to pin the features, but please click through and pin from the original source.
