A little blue ...
Both images above are of a cute little house near the village of Antipata
{All images mine}
I can't believe its already been a week since I came back from Greece and I've done no posts!
If you get the chance to go to Kefalonia, you wont be disappointed.
We had such a wonderful time - the food, the people, the beaches... and the sun
were all magnificent.
Like any holiday,
whenever it ends ... I always feel a little blue ...

Electric Blue + Hot Pink :: Guest Post
Good morning everyone!
As you all know I am on the beautiful Greek island of Kefalonia and what better way to kick off the week, than with a guest post highlighting the wonderful combination of electric blue and hot pink.
Enjoy and thank you Susi!

Hi, I'm Susi and I write for the fabulous interior design site -†Design Shuffle. It's a social networking site for interior designers, architects, design professionals and enthusiasts who just love interior design. I am so fortunate to get to write about beautiful interior designs and interesting decorating ideas. Today, we're going to look at one of my favorite color combinations.
Inspired by the image below, we are loving interiors that feature electric blue paired with hot pink. Electric blue and hot pink decor is such a happy, fun combination that can be modern, sophisticated, or island inspired depending on the exact shades used and how they are employed. We've even included a simple temporary idea to bring this bold combination into your decor. Enjoy!

We love the white stucco walls with electric blue trim as a backdrop for the hot pink bougainvillea. Incredible inspiration for an interior.

Electric blue and pink are striking against a dramatic dark wall. A painted chest of drawers in hot pink might feel more feminine.
Hi Sugar Plum via
Electric blue walls and hot pink decorative accessories like pillows give this bedroom design a tropical resort feeling inspired by Calypso. Lots of white balances out the intense colors.

Electric blue and hot pink in small doses can still create big impact. The blue glass chandelier is unexpected--and gorgeous.
Tick Tock via
Neutral gray walls with a hint of lavender offset the bold pink and blue of the furnishings and accessories in this sophisticated, feminine living room design.
Design Chat with Kim Lemmon via
Electric blue and hot pink are an unexpected combination for a dining room. Love the saturated wall color against the deep pink curtains.
The Enchanted Home via
Perhaps more cobalt than electric, the deep blues in this living room are fantastic against the intense pink of the art and pillows. Sophisticated, yet playful.
Lizetís Mudhut via
Something as simple as a cobalt vase filled with hot pink blooms from your garden or farmerís market can create this look in any room in your home.

Outdoor rooms ...
Scanned from Elle Docoration August 2011
I leave you this Friday with two inspirational outdoor rooms to gaze at ...
Room 1: Belonging to Consuelo Castiglioni (designer from cult fashion label Marni) ... perfect for lounging around with friends (and what about that chandelier!) This outdoor room is found on the Spanish island of Formentera ... described as Ibiza's bohemian little sister. The cushions were designed for the house by the homeowner ... reminiscent of Marni's punchy, monochromatic prints
Room 2: Anyone for a dip? Can this pool be any more welcoming?
Have a perfectly wonderful weekend
... outdoors (if you can)

I am off tomorrow for two weeks to the Greek islands.
I will try and post while there ... look out for a guest post on Monday!
