. . . soft mohair throws and paper flower hearts, elegant monograms and pretty lacy envelopes, sheer silk blouses and sexy pencil skirts — there’s romance in the air, and in dusky and dreamy shades of mid-february blue . . .

Where can I get the fabric for those beautiful curtains?
Cant ever go past tiffany blue. I did a similar post recently. February is also beginning of Chinese New Year. Another good thing about Feb! Fiona
This is so beautiful and inspiring. You have a remarkable gift. Thank you for doing this!
The color blue is so beautiful!! I would love to have a bedroom and bathroom like that in my home someday. :)
OMG! Thanks so much for including my photo with these gorgeous images! Beautiful collection and editing! ♥
Hi! New to your blog and now in love with all the beautiful images! Love Tiffany blue and white together. Looking forward to visiting back often! Have a wonderful week!

I love blue. Its supposed to be the 2010 color of the year. I recently did a post on blue as well.

Amazingly soft and romantic images…definitely gets me in the mood for Valentine’s Day!
this is my favorite post from your blog so far! so beautiful..
Beautiful post, I love the white with the soft turquoise. Everything is very dreamy and soft ;)
Those adorable doilie envelopes remind me of grade-school Valentine’s parties. Love em.
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.
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
gorgeous, all of it! i especially like the paper doilies envelopes.
what a beautiful post! so serene, so clean…perfection.
i’m going to put up my paper cut-out hearts…just like those in the pic you posted!

oooo my goodness this is simply divine! those envelopes are so gorgeous and delicate! love this color! xo
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

Beautiful inspiration, the bedroom looks so welcoming. I love the soft shades of Tiffany blue, it has such a romantic and elegant element.
every time I see that blue bedroom, those curtains! I am inspired to repaint my brown room…my hubs would kill me though.
It’s like a softer side of Tiffany’s :) I loved that first shot–can I have that for my bedroom, please?
Such a gorgeous collaboration, tiffany blue is such a romantic hue. Beautiful pictures and words as usual!
oh wow, i had the same blog post a few days ago (but a more literal take)

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.
Absolutely love your inspiration! Gorgeous photos! Thanks for inspiring us to think outside the pink and red box!
Heavenly colors! It reminds me a lot of Vermeer’s paintings. =)
wow, that first photo is just about my ideal bedroom. I’ve been so obsessed with light blue and white and general dreaminess lately.

Wow, this is the prettiest post! I love the bathroom and the chairs in the second bedroom image – just gorgeous! xx
This post has me weak in the knees. Can I have the room one day and mail letters in that delicate doily envelope?

Those envelopes are so beautiful!
absolutely delicious. i never thought of light blue as so romantic before!
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 :)

So gorgeous! You do have the loveliest finds!
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.
loving the tiffany blue – it works so well without being obnoxious! thank you for showing how it’s done!
I watched BAT with my boyfriend this weekend. <3 xx
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.
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 the colors, fantastic bathroom!
terribly romantic in every sense of the word. who can ever resist miss holly golightly?
