Sigh. I am SO feeling Valentine's Day this year---last year it passed me by, but I'm completely into it now! And I love seeing ideas beyond the typical red and pink. Blue? Yes please!
Gorgeous as usual :)
Love this. Tiffany blue is my favorite color ever. Gorgeous. And I love all the doilies! Valentine's day wouldn't be valentine's day with delicate white doilies.
I watched BAT with my boyfriend this weekend. <3 xx
loving the tiffany blue - it works so well without being obnoxious! thank you for showing how it's done!
So so so pretty. I can't choose a fave...perhaps the heart doily garland? I love bringing a little Holly Golightly into my life...usually it's in the shape of a little black dress.
So gorgeous! You do have the loveliest finds!
You totally read my mind!! I posted a collection of Tiffany pieces last week that are actual affordable for Valentine's. What could be more perfect than a little blue box? Loved the inspired photos :)

Those envelopes are so beautiful!
This post has me weak in the knees. Can I have the room one day and mail letters in that delicate doily envelope?

Wow, this is the prettiest post! I love the bathroom and the chairs in the second bedroom image - just gorgeous! xx
wow, that first photo is just about my ideal bedroom. I've been so obsessed with light blue and white and general dreaminess lately.

Heavenly colors! It reminds me a lot of Vermeer's paintings. =)
Absolutely love your inspiration! Gorgeous photos! Thanks for inspiring us to think outside the pink and red box!

love ms. holly golightly and breakfast at tiffany's seems so right this time of year.
gorgeous eye candy. i still regret not painting my former san francisco dining room tiffany blue... maybe next time.
Such a gorgeous collaboration, tiffany blue is such a romantic hue. Beautiful pictures and words as usual!
It's like a softer side of Tiffany's :) I loved that first shot--can I have that for my bedroom, please?
every time I see that blue bedroom, those curtains! I am inspired to repaint my brown room...my hubs would kill me though.
Beautiful inspiration, the bedroom looks so welcoming. I love the soft shades of Tiffany blue, it has such a romantic and elegant element.
So pretty! I love that bedroom! I want to crawl in and take a nap!

love the color - my favorite and the color of our bedroom - very soothing while a bit of punch, and of course, the glam color of Tiffany's....just watched that great movie with my teenage daughter after not seeing it for many years and so funny to watch again from another perspective - keep up the good work and please stop by for an interior designer's perspective at Nest by Tamara at http://nestnestnest.blogspot.com

Okay, I saw this earlier. But I had to come back bc I cannot stop thinking about those lacey envelopes! Beatiful images (as usual!). Marija
Pretty in blue! I love the french style blue chair in front of the window in the bedroom. Must paint my walls that color of blue.
Those adorable doilie envelopes remind me of grade-school Valentine's parties. Love em.
Beautiful post, I love the white with the soft turquoise. Everything is very dreamy and soft ;)
