I've been obsessed with having a pop of aqua blue in my house, and found the perfect opportunity when I ordered this chandelier for my dining room. Under the chandelier will go a small round table that I was originally thinking would be black.
Now? I'm dreaming of a deep, saturated navy instead...
That kind of blue that in a certain light looks black ... that's what I'm going crazy for! Now I've just gotta find the right paint color... any suggestions?

LOVE. Please share when you're all finished!
ReplyDeleteThat chandelier is fabulous! I love this combo. Can't wait to see what you do with it!
ReplyDeleteI love aqua with navy, deep navy. I painted a chair that deep navy, I think it was a Ralph Lauren color. I added more black to the original formula to make it even deeper. The chandelier is wonderful, what an exciting addition.

Been contemplating navy lately too. Something like the pillows you have shown. Benjamin Moore Blue Note is always nice.
ReplyDeleteSoot by Ben Moore. Ruthie Sommers used it...perfect black with a navy undertone...I used it on built in book shelves.
ReplyDeleteGood luck.

ReplyDeleteI just did a navy painting project & used Martha Stewart's "Wrought Iron" & it's pretty awesome :)

I second polo blue by Benjamin Moore. Our living room is painted in it and I love how the color morphs durring the day from a dark navy to an almost black!
ReplyDeleteLoving that Color Combo girl! I have the same chandy in black and it's amazing! Happy New Year! XO~JD
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my absolute favourite colour combos- used it for my son's room and adore how it turned out. My favourite true navy is Hale Navy but BM- it's a real navy- not almost black but gorgeous and dark, without any hint of royal etc.
ReplyDeleteI love this color combination! Gorgeous ;) Can't wait to see what color you finally decide upon.

I am in crazy love with this color combination! xo
ReplyDeleteBenjamin Moore's Soot - I heartily second that vote. I painted a tiny downstairs powder room (just a toilet and sink) in this color and it's GLAMOROUS. It's become my "gentleman's club" bathroom. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteone of my favorite combos of all time -- and eek-ed when i saw that Emily Henderson room there. One of my favorites. That sofa is SO awesome.
ReplyDeleteThat color combo is to die for!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds awesome... Please, show when it is done! =)

Yum yum yum. I am loving this color combo.
ReplyDeleteI think that deep deep blue is a great idea. It's a very elegant color. I painted my walls a candy apple green with Behr paint and couldn't have been happier with the results. I imagine they'd have a nice dark blue that'd suit your project.
Ohhhh do Hermes orange, that would look so great with a high gloss navy!! Good luck, looking forward to seeing the reveal. :)
