Audrey Hepburn was the fun loving and elegant, New York socialite Holly Golightly in the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey matched with Tiffany's was the perfect magical combination, and they will forever be remembered as two glamorous classics!
I love this rich and striking aquamarine color used on Tiffany's gift boxes. I've become accustomed to seeing them often the past few years, but I don't own a single piece. However, several of their vibrant boxes mysteriously keep appearing in my daughter's possession. They have a way of popping up around birthdays and holidays. I remember once waiting in a long line to exchange a duplicate item!
This vibrant hue makes a strong design statement and packs a big punch. If doing an entire room seems a bit to much, consider a toned down version or introducing an accent piece.

furnishings
The curved lines of this upholstered headboard doesn't appear overly feminine, because it is balanced by the tailored striped bedding. Using the blue on the bedding rather then on the walls is less intense, but equally effective.
People associate me with a time when movies were pleasant, when women wore pretty dresses in films and you heard beautiful music. I always love it when people write me and say 'I was having a rotten time, and I walked into a cinema and saw one of your movies, and it made such a difference. ~Audrey Hepburn
furnishings
The white palate is the perfect backdrop to show off the intricate fretwork on the cabinet and chairs and allows the blue to pop!
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person. ~ Audrey Hepburn. Did you know Tiffany's doesn't actually have a restaurant? In the movie Audrey ate breakfast on the sidewalk while gazing in the window!
I can testify to what UNICEF means to children, because I was among those who received food and medical relief right after World War II," said actress ~Audrey Hepburn~ on her appointment as a Goodwill Ambassador in 1989. "I have a long-lasting gratitude and trust for what UNICEF does." As a result of her work for UNICEF over subsequent years, that gratitude is mutual.

Hi Lee,
I was just at your place and you must have been here, funny when that happens!
I was just thinking earlier today that I hadn't watched "Breakfast at Tiffany's" in awhile!
I do love that shade of blue!
Hey Cathy,
Thanks for coming by... you always leave three things when you stop in... encouragement, warmth, and of course "Style" that's why you are the only button on my blog.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Lee
Ps... the days of wispyness are way over.
This is amazing Cathy! I'm sorry to admit I have never seen the movie...shame on me. :)
What a treat your blog is. Somehow I lost track of your beautiful blog. This morning with my first cup of coffee in hand, while our house guests are still sleeping, I took the time to catch on your past posts and fell in love with your work here all over again. We are almost neighbors, I am in Shelby Twp., so I really enjoy your posts about local decor haunts. I wrote down your color suggestion for a match to the coveted Tiffany blue box for future reference and will try harder to keep up with all your delicious posts.
It's an inspiring color, for sure! I love that door, it is absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing all the Audrey Hepburn quotations, it helps us see her more as a whole person than as an icon.
Agreed - it's a lovely color! I was once lucky enough to score some (empty!) Tiffany's boxes after some volunteering I did. Wish I'd hung onto them!
I love that color blue! You know I've nevr seen a Tiffany box at my house.
Thanks for coming over a posting all those sweet comments.
Hi Cathy...
Ohhh...what a fabulous post, my friend! I love Audrey Hepburn and Tiffany blue! Loved all of the beautiful photos...so chic! I have used this gorgeous shade in my master bedroom with accents of antique gold and brown....I love it! Thank you so much for sharing these pretties with us today! I love it!!!
Just wanted to thank you for stopping by and taking a peek at my new stackable pedistal plates...I really enjoyed your sweet note, my friend! Cathy, I love your sense of design style and have a question for you. I have just bought the most beautiful fireplace mantle for my living room...got a real deal on it! Anyway, my intentions are to do a faux fireplace and I was wondering if you have any great ideas for the area where the firebox is supposed to be? Thought maybe you've had some experience with this. If you get a spare minute, I would love to hear your ideas! Thank you, my friend!
Warmest wishes,
Chari @Happy To Design
Hi Cathy....Love that color combination....it is not only popular in home decor but in clothing too. I haven't watched that movie in years! She seemed like such a sweet person in real life too.~Patti
This IS a most gorgeous shade of blue. I really enjoyed all the pictures and seeing the furniture and other fun pics. It was nice of you to share the SW shade at the end of this post.

What a beautiful post! Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of my favorite movies! My daughter and I are thinking about doing redoing her big girl bedroom in the Tiffany blue color!
Beautiful color blue and I always loved the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys.
Cathy, this is one of my favorite shades of blue, and I love the images you chose for this post. That door is magnificent! And I love Miles Redd. Anything he does is wonderful. And Audrey Hepburn is a class act as is Tiffany's. I keep their blue boxes for storing things. I have gotten numerous pieces of their Holiday pattern over the years, and I can't resist their boxes. I store fragile Christmas ornaments in them, and the color makes me smile!
Happy Blue Monday...
Sheila :-)
Beautiful pictures! I think it is time to watch the movie again! It's been while.
Have a wonderful day!
Such pretty blue pictures! I love the movie Breakfast at Tiffanys too!
Happy Blue Monday..

I think that coupled with white and tan, it could just be one of my favorite shades of blue. I enjoyed Audrey's movie too, Cathy! Thanks for sharing, and Happy Blue Monday!
Hmmm..now to ponder how I might come to own one of those lovely little boxes...
Pretty post. I am glad you included the paint chip.

Oh what a tribute to Audrey Hepburn!
Here's my first Blue Monday entry.
I love this color. It brings to mind the beautiful bays and harbors that I've seen throughout the tropics. You really put together some nice pics to show how well this color can be used to decorate.
Please join me in chasing fun with my son for Blue Monday!
Audrey Hepburn, she was a true Lady, beautiful and feminine. That is the only shade of blue that I think I could live with. Great post. Hugs, Cindy S.
Fabulous!
Have a great week
what a beautiful hue of blue and found in so many different places
What a creative post! The color is stunning. Happy Blue Monday ♥
Cathy, your tugging at my heart strings this morning.
I have loved Audrey my whole life. My post is dedicated to her. It's not the first one.
My guest cottage is painted in Tiffany blue, and if you go to my last post on Audrey, you will see that she sat at my table... yes really ; ).
Love the door, love everything in blue boxes. I live in Canada, and anytime we go to N.Y. Tiffany is my first stop. I'm very fortunate that my hubby let's me buy a few pieces on each visit.
Ahhhhhh now I'm refreshed. Thanks for the pretty post.
Happy BLUE MONDAY
