I love the color blue. I especially love using it in my home. When we moved into this house three years ago, my friend Mary suggested I do a blue-and-white plate grouping on my dining room wall. I loved the idea, but I’m not one to do such a thing myself. Partly this is because decorating is last on my list of priorities. Don’t get me wrong, I love a wonderfully decorated home.
