Iron Wall Decor Art

Iron Wall Decor is very popular now. It's a very classic and timeless way to decorate and goes with just about any decorating style as well.

This beautiful style is Talevera style iron art. Talevera tile is from Mexico, but the style is showing up in Iron decor and it's stunning.

Try an Arch shaped metal piece for Spanish, French Country or Tuscan style.

Decorating with Tiffany Box Blue


Decorating with Tiffany Box Blue is the hot new look now, not only in home decor, but weddings and fashion, too. It's easy to see why, it's such a soothing color, yet it's also bright and energizing ... there's not too many colors that can say that! So, whether you call it Aqua Blue or Tiffany Box Blue, why not give it a try on your next home decor project. Here are some ideas to help get you on your way...

If you want to paint your walls Tiffany Box Blue, one color you may want to look at is "Spa" by Behr, available at The Home Depot. It is the color that I used on my master bedroom and bath walls. If you cannot find Behr paint, you can really use any brand. Just bring home several paint chip samples from you local paint store and pick the color closest to Tiffany Box Blue that you can find. Make sure not to go too light, or it will look like Baby Blue. And don't go too green, or it just won't work at all. Stay in the 'cool' blue tones for best results.

Decorating a bedroom with Tiffany Box Blue paint is really fun. It really goes great with black and white. I chose black and white damask in my bedroom and it really makes that aqua blue pop.

If you are into decorating your home with the Shabby Chic look, try pairing up the Aqua Blue with Pink. I love how they used leopard print here on the chairs, too. You could really have "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in this kitchen!

And don't forget the outside! Tiffany Box Blue is perfect for outdoor decor, like picnic tables, flower pots and Adirondack chairs. Bring on the sweet tea!
