cobalt

Cobalt is a beautiful color, and amazing to work with. It adds a deep rich hue that adds a little drama. Cobalt has had a long history, it has been documented to be used as smalt (cobalt glass) since 14th century BC and has been found in many shipwrecks of the time. It was later popularized in the Chinese Tang dynasty in white and blue pottery as tea pots. If you are looking at pure cobalt under glass ultraviolet light, the color becomes an even richer hue. While searching for rugs, I found the Bursa rug from West Elm it has a worn indian look that looks vintage. I loved the look of the the wingback chair found on Manly Vintage, imagine pairing it with a cowhide rug in next to a leather chesterfield. I couldn't resist the campfire mugs from  Splendid's Wholesale.  And when it gets warm enough to have dinner outside Luxembourg table from Fermob would be perfect.
