Hi Guys! Welcome to my first "Blue Monday" hosted by Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/. I have just recently discovered her blog and will be visiting her often!
You guys know I have lots of red....well I have a little blue too. This is our 4th bedroom that we made into a piano room. It's tiny! My hubby's friend actually gave us the piano! I was so excited to get it, especially for free! Chase has taken piano for about 4 yrs. now and is really good. Although sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get him to practice. He has a great teacher and she is always very encouraging. I took piano for around 7 yrs. when I was a teen and just recently started playing a bit. Mostly "easy"stuff. lol! I don't like to practice either. Shhhh.....
I got 4 of the blue plates when I worked at the interior shop, but my mother-in-law gave me the one in the middle and at the top before she passed away. I miss her......
This room doesn't have alot of light, especially at night, but I tried to get a good shot of the lamp. My mom gave it to me when they moved.
I fell in love with this fabric almost 10 yrs. ago (oh my gosh I didn't realize it's been that long!) Well, I still like it! I also have a little sofa that matches on the other wall.
These pictures hang over the sofa, I would have taken a picture of it, but it needs a little super glue on the back. lol! But look how the pictures match the fabric! I've had those a while too.
That's most of my blue! I have a little more, but I'll save it for another post. Thanks for stopping by!!
You can now comment if you don't have a blog. I would love to hear from you!

Kristen your Blue plates are all just beautiful!
I have been inspired by so many bloggers hanging decorative plates on walls.
I love the look! :)
Lovely touches of blue. And good for you... heading back to the piano! We have a piano... kids have taken lessons... recently we have put them aside... you are inspiring me to get them back to the piano!
Lovely room, I love yellow with blue, always so cheery!

Hi Kristen,
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day! I, like you, don't have alot of blues in my home...I didn't think. But once you start taking pictures of things to post, I have found I have more then I realized. Anyway, I love your plates on your wall and that lamp from your parents is beautiful!

Your new header is so cute! I love the touches of blue you have in your piano room. The plates and lamp are my favorite ~ so pretty!
Have a great day,
Jo
I love your home! I think it is so beautiful!
I'm glad you told it like it was with the pimples! I was thinking I was the only one! I thought it was pretty funny! Your comment made my day...
What a nicely decorated music room! I'm sure that you and your son enjoy it; it might even help you practice more. Those blue and white plates are a lovely collection. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Hi Kristen! I love your piano room. I think I remember seeing it before because...we have a son who needs a piano and the only place we could put it is in his bedroom. Seeing yours made me think that it could work. Great idea!
I adore your blue plates over the piano! Your decorating is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing.
Warm regards,
Wendy
I love your blue plates and how you have them arranged. I have some blue and yellow toile of my own. I just love the combo.
I see someone hopped on your piano to stay for Spring.
Kristen, I love the blue and yellows together. It kind of has that French country feel. I'm trying to do that in our basement without much success! This gives me inspiration!
Good morning Kristen! I love the new look of your blog! you know how i love bunnies!!! your plates are great! Your whole home is gorgeous! Thank your sharing! God Bless! Lauralu :)
I love the beautiful piano with the dishes above it. The dishes really look classy. I took lessons when I was a child also and started playing again about three years ago. Happy Blue Monday.
Sweetie

Hi, Kristen, You know I love the blue and white plates, as I have a ton! I want to thank you for mentioning me on your Thursday blog. I have always loved your home. The red pillows look great, I am so glad they worked. I love all of your floral arrangements, I use them too, but I'm not talented like you! I am going to visit your store. I also love your blog! Hugs, Connie
Hi Kristen - Love your blue and white room and the plates on the wall are simply beautiful!!
I took piano for a couple of years and just hated it - all of it!! I am so not musically inclined at all.
Thanks for visiting and the well wishes today.
Hi Kristen,
Thanks for coming by to visit. Yes, I think we are somewhat neighbors (within a few hours at least). I'm happy to share where I live with you but I'm not ready to post it publicly.
Warm regards,
Wendy
I love all your blues! Those plates are beautiful!
Hi Kristen! I love your piano room and I'm so glad your son is learning to play. And you play too! Could that song by Floyd Crammer be "Last Date" by any chance! That was such a popular song by him many moons ago. I learned to play that too!
Love your yellow walls and those blue plates.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Not only do I love your plates, but I love the way you have them displayed. Beautiful blues.
Welcome to Blue Monday! Your plates are beautiful and the way you have decorated your home is very inviting.
Kristen,
I love the room, the blue plates, the piano it's all very lovely! Cindy
Love those blue plates. you may have read some of my posts....I'm determined to bring a little blue into my house after hanging around blogland. There are so many pretty options. I do love that chair fabric and the matching pictures. They work really well together.
Thanks for your comps on my faux flower arrangement. Can't wait to see what you have to show us in the near future!!

Oh Kristen - I got my frame today and it is even more spectacular in person than in the picture!! I'm SO happy with it and SO grateful to you (for so many reasons - LOL!) I will take pictures of it and post it on my blog, with props to you, of course!
Love your blue - especially the dishes on the wall.
Hi Kristen! Love your blues! And what a sweet room! I too had to take piano lessons when I was a kid.....And I hated them! So I forgot everything I ever learned...but I still have two pianos!...Go figure *winks* Vanna
Kristen: I just love your blog and your arrangements are gorgeous! So inventive and such a great eye for detail! I just started my blog a couple of weeks ago and would love it if you would check it out when you have a chance. Have a Greay Day :)

Kristen,
I remember this room from RMS and love seeing it all over again!! Beautiful plate collection! Laura
Kristen, your blues are just as pretty as everything else in your home. I love that fabric. I can't believe you picked it out that long ago, and it still looks great-timeless taste! laurie
Its so crazy, but my mom has a piano that looks just like that. Its probably the same company.
Love and Prayers,
Tim
Kristen, It is beautiful! I remember it from RMS! Nancy

Kristen, this room is so pretty. I love the contrast between the blue plates and the wall color. The lamp your mother gave you gorgeous!!
You have such a beautiful home.
I love your blues. I have mostly reds in my house too, but I am adding blue. I love reds blues and greens...
I love red and I also have a little blue (plates)...we are alike not just by name :-)
However yours look a lot prettier than mine ;)
Kristen a chandelier would be sooo fabulous in here! I hope you find the perfect one! I love the little buggers I'll even hang them up without any electricity! And I've converted a couple of them to candle chandies....I need a 12 step program Lol! Vanna
love your plates. my mom collects blue pottery pieces, i love it when she brings them out in spring. also admiring your rabbit, i have several that size that i love it decorate with at easter.
Wow! I am coming to visit your lovely blog more often...the piano music alone is so beautiful! Very relaxing. You play so beautifully.
Thanks for sharing
