Keep it Cool This Summer by Adding Blue to Your Décor

Some like it hot and some like it not. As a Leo, I tend to liven up in August, but I understand the heat may make some folks languish. I’m always looking for easy ways to modify my home to address issues, like changes in temperature or changes in total occupancy (cheers for back to in-person school!) One surefire answer to cooling your head, heels, or jets is adding blue to your décor.

Blue Period

Often, Kelly Porter is recognized for her work as one of the partners of Porter Teleo, our own locally based international wallcovering sensation. In addition to her decorative product, produced in conjunction with her partner, Bridgett Cochran, Porter is a painter whose work is available through—you got it—Blue Gallery. Her work on paper is a great way to pick up fine art on a tight budget.
