the marketplace - shades of blue

We are at the midway point of this series on my outing to the marketplace.  I hope you aren't bored yet.  I am not the best at editing the gazillion pictures I take when I'm out and about but this trips pictures have been fun to revisit.

Today I thought we'd take on the many shades of blue that are so popular right now.   It was everywhere.

It seems there really isn't a color blue doesn't go well with.  I love the golden yellow polka dots mixed with the turquoise blue strips in this bunting.  And the chippy blue mannequin mixed with burlap and rust...swoon!

Isn't this a great paint treatment on this side table.  I am re-purposing an old end table as a make shift bar area on the patio and think these weathered stripes will be just the touch of fun I was looking for.

What a fun way to reuse an old twin headboard.  We saw this done a few times and I think it is absolutely charming.  How cute would it be to hold backpacks or coats in a child's room?  Or even in a bathroom?  Love this idea!

This is one of my favorite shades of blue and I think it looks great on this antique dresser. I still say, there is a chippy robins egg blue dresser in my future.

I think I'll leave you with these two adorable places to sit and ponder from.  I have been on the look out for an old glider and when I find one I would be mighty tempted to paint it this exact shade of blue (or apple green, another favorite).

My question for you today is this.  What is your favorite shade of blue?  I need a name and brand on this as I have a bit of deciding to do.

Happy hump day!
