Cobalt Blue Objects Look Appealing on the Kitchen Window Sills

Today we are joining Show and Tell Friday at Cindy's My Romantic Home and  Thrifty Things Friday at  Diann's blog, The Thrifty Groove.

Go on over to those blogs and check them out. You'll find such cool things you'll want to stay on the computer all day long!

 Some things never change but some things do!


For example, cobalt blue has never been a color used in our home decor.  There is almost nothing of any shade of blue around here because it was never a color that appealed to me.


However, when we remodeled our kitchen a couple of years back, we  painted the walls a pale, lemony color called "Morning Sunshine."

It seemed the newly painted walls and white cabinets called out for blue accents.

Then came the fun of finding some great cobalt blue vases and bottles, mostly at yard and estate sales. Pretty soon, there was a new collection!

Cobalt blue is  such a rich color, especially when placed in a window.

My very earliest remembrance of cobalt blue containers will definitely date me. ha ha!  My aunt used to sit at her kitchen table and scoop Noxema cream all over her face.

When we got sick, as kids, our Mother used to get out a small cobalt blue glass jar of Vicks Vaporub and rub us down with the medicinal smelling gloop.

Today, cobalt blue bottles, vases, and so forth definitely make me smile.

So after all the Christmas decor got put away, I hauled up some cobalt blue pieces from the cellar, washed them with soap and warm water, and put them on the upper kitchen window shelves. Also added some blue water glasses!

The cobalt blue items displayed look nice against the sky outside the window and the lacy valences above in the inside.
