Isabelle's Blue

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Hi everyone! Thank you all so very much for the sweet comments about my blue kitchen <a href="http://anita-faraboverubies.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-blue-kitchen.html">HERE</a>!! I am really enjoying the "feel" of it so much. Of course, having family things around me makes it so much more special and unique to me. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today  I wanted to share some vintage inspiration in the living area, which also includes more blue. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsPEHJs3EXtVvm9UOI4EVHyXByNOwdtSSm-LqMGd-vomlENRQzwobbMAYq7x4bNBA4-HiZVZ2KThHpMkx-y2uW97_vUr_69KgG5vq2x-EPnUopeLmiPxXkG9SRXM0kcMP17kmHO-q069g/s1600/2012livingblue6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="606" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsPEHJs3EXtVvm9UOI4EVHyXByNOwdtSSm-LqMGd-vomlENRQzwobbMAYq7x4bNBA4-HiZVZ2KThHpMkx-y2uW97_vUr_69KgG5vq2x-EPnUopeLmiPxXkG9SRXM0kcMP17kmHO-q069g/s640/2012livingblue6.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This statue was given to my grandmother in its previous state of solid white, which I cannot imagine. She painted it these beautiful mid-century colors. I love the blue and the coral-pink color. It is supposed to be a lamp as there is a hole in her head for a lightbulb. She never used it as a lamp.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYISptbBPjdAoFTMlkEdiT5dYLyYX-zPApmsmrjBS72g5EAgs-M5XUaISbBUgaNo5VYajpimAVnUDZBiO8OIIFYlDn8yRGdSw85GHQ_8s8qoPhpDL4TmSdQlUNrtzEPr3i4_ZodkRi0I/s1600/statue1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyYISptbBPjdAoFTMlkEdiT5dYLyYX-zPApmsmrjBS72g5EAgs-M5XUaISbBUgaNo5VYajpimAVnUDZBiO8OIIFYlDn8yRGdSw85GHQ_8s8qoPhpDL4TmSdQlUNrtzEPr3i4_ZodkRi0I/s640/statue1.jpg" width="323" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">You can just see the bottom of it on her piano where it sat most of her life. That is me in the pretty blue dress. Now you have to see from this photo why I'm bringing back Isabelle's pink and blue. Love the blue carpet she brought back from one of her houses in Florida. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS2n69TepqgBvuYj_SmAf3WL79nCT2F45mqtAXi25IqUEg_UrmR7-3tt3H-L4BroP0ogSBqQj0D1iTGvEfV1d7COYFu3Te4oWmyw1rpp4PtbjmVNBP6s15tEIUacSLtTZkOKo8AqK23-A/s1600/anitachild071.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS2n69TepqgBvuYj_SmAf3WL79nCT2F45mqtAXi25IqUEg_UrmR7-3tt3H-L4BroP0ogSBqQj0D1iTGvEfV1d7COYFu3Te4oWmyw1rpp4PtbjmVNBP6s15tEIUacSLtTZkOKo8AqK23-A/s400/anitachild071.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The statue is happy sitting on my piano now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8Wd64AN1q_eIGzH1iPQz3Nt7qWcGzpFsCNc2L9yuWRRlk9czCK-ktqXbMP7EQurg7B4eObWHQjMxUKi6hubIvscEEfT-v33_4aaXiWmpjUdTopdmJRttzqqJBZqEkP-56wZ_x7I1snM/s1600/2012livingblue4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs8Wd64AN1q_eIGzH1iPQz3Nt7qWcGzpFsCNc2L9yuWRRlk9czCK-ktqXbMP7EQurg7B4eObWHQjMxUKi6hubIvscEEfT-v33_4aaXiWmpjUdTopdmJRttzqqJBZqEkP-56wZ_x7I1snM/s640/2012livingblue4.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I also added some "paint by number" ballerinas that Isabelle painted over a window from the old house, to which I added some old sheet music.
