Ever thought of painting your headboard a sky blue on steroids? I hadn’t, but after seeing one in this issue (page 27), I asked myself, Would I? Could I?

toronto blue BY BENJAMIN MOORE “When you’re designing a beach house, you pull inspiration from the ocean. The vibrant blue on the bed frame in this guest room feels inviting, just like the water. The client was so into it that we picked a similar shade for the pendant lights and table in the kitchen.” —Ghislaine Viñas, designer, New York, NY nightspot BY C2 PAINT “Painting a runner on a staircase is a great way to add a splash of color, like in this coastal home. The blue is fun and sophisticated, but the best part is that sweeping sand off painted stairs is a lot easier than vacuuming carpeted ones.” —Jenny Keenan, Jenny Keenan Design, Charleston, SC sparkling water BY CLARK + KENSINGTON “I wanted to create a space…
