bleu céleste

There is something almost magical about an intense shade of blue...

Deep, warm blues just seem so inviting, so lush. I would love to have a whole room in such a gorgeous colour!

Or perhaps a beautiful little accent piece... like this punch cup, owned by Louis VX. 

Well, maybe not something as grand as that. Something from a thrift shop would do, for me.
