But I don't know the names of any of them. I love all the ones you highlighted - particularly your old guest bathroom - just gorgeous. Can't wait to see your NEW guest bathroom. <br /><br />We brought paint names with us from our old house so a couple of rooms are the exact same color as in our last house! Since we loved them so much, we thought it was a good idea and made it feel instantly like home!!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05615149112130152767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-50148302016370275672009-10-08T10:44:14.280-05:002009-10-08T10:44:14.280-05:00I've never been too good with blue, although I...I've never been too good with blue, although I like a nice ice blue or a turquoise accent.<br /><br />Have you seen this blue room?<br /><br />http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/09/30/garden/20091001-location-slideshow_8.htmlSamanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14452627115206030781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-38341696736433199512009-10-08T09:55:26.459-05:002009-10-08T09:55:26.459-05:00These blues are gorgeous!

It has a lot of gray in it, and really is the color of the sky on Santorini (we have pics from our honeymoon there above our bed). It's such a relaxing color that's perfect for a bedroom.Laura@JourneyChichttp://journeychic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6871878718824331017.post-47704920511015335642009-10-08T05:36:39.709-05:002009-10-08T05:36:39.709-05:00I adore Hague blue!

It's wonderful to wake up to, cheerful, and so fresh with white. <br /><br />I also love the "Feather gray" of your old guest bath...very lovely! and the image of "Drawing Room Blue" by Farrow & Ball -- a great example of how crisp blue and white can me.
