Tangled up in blue: The kitchen in this Merion Golf Manor home is the definition of "pop of color." The cerulean cabinets and island make a compelling update to standard kitchen blues. The backsplash tiling and other blue accents throughout the home are also a nice touch.
12 Welwyn Road, Wayne, PA
$2,395,000
Taxes: $20,320
Tangled up in blue: We love that this home was originally built in 1927 as the Pew family country estate. And while we love the subtle, cornflower blue throughout the first floor (see: foyer, living room and breakfast nook), it's in one of the four bathrooms where the saturation gets turned all the way up to azure.
1343 Fording Brook Road, Gwynedd Valley, PA
$3,175,000
Taxes: $48,552
Tangled up in blue: This impressive home includes plenty of gorgeous, non-blue rooms and finishes. But it also includes one room so darling we had to include it in this roundup: a blue-accented playroom with pirate ship and Peter Pan illustrations built to help children (and adults – who are we to judge?) make believe they are at sea with the boy who never grows up.
