I’m so blue.

.

Well, I’m not yet. But it looks like I’m going to be because every single furniture store I’ve shopped is dedicated to that color.

.

.

I’m looking for two couches, a chair and an ottoman in this hardback, rolled arm style. The couches will be solid, the chair and pillows a coordinating pattern.

.

.

All the floor samples are beige, which is fine… it’s not like I want neon orange. But the decided lack of color in the fabric choices is driving me batty.

.

.

The fabrics are pretty…

.

.

But I swear they’re all blue and grey.

.

.

Everywhere.

.

.

At every store.

.

.

My kitchen and breakfast nook are blue and grey.

My den is blue and beige.

My spare bathroom is blue and grey.

Which is why my living room has always been green.

.

.

But it looks like that’s not happening this time around.

.

.

I’m going to be blue.

.

Grey, grey… go away.

.

Furniture shopping continues and I’ve realized like everything else in my life it’s not going to be easy.

Though we have numerous stores and what seems like endless choices, if you’re like me and buck trends… there’s going to be trouble.

.

.

In every one of the six stores I’ve visited so far?

.

.

Grey. White. A little blue…

And more grey.

While I have nothing against the color per se, variety is the spice of life and when it comes to decor I need some.

And please don’t tell me corporate only displays one vision and I can choose different fabrics.

.

.

Because in store after store?

.

.

95% of those are grey as well.
