This farm style house is one of my favorite places to get a bit of color in my life. I love coming across the blue and white of the farmhouse and how it blends with the beautiful views that I get every time I drive through Blue Ridge Mountains. I also love the fact that I can walk around outside and not have to worry about that dreaded neighbor who’s next door is about to start a lawn mower.
I’m not sure if we all have that exact same feeling when we walk past a house that is just so blue it’s almost too bright, but I’ve had a few moments where I’ve actually thought, “I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t have a garden.” Of course I’m not alone.
As it turns out, there’s a lot of blue in Blue Ridge Mountains. And this is where we get the word “blue farm house.” These homes are mostly built in the late 1800s to the mid 1900s in Kentucky, and the blue in the paint often has a blue roof. And I know we’re not supposed to mention this because it was a little controversial in the 1960s, but the blue in the paint is made of blue clay which is a natural clay.
Blue clay is a natural source for clay stains because clay is a very water soluble material that doesn’t soak up water very well. This causes blue clay stain to look as if it has been mixed with water. Of course, that’s a myth.
This is a very easy way to get yourself a blue sky room. So its not uncommon to see blue farm house paint in homes in the Midwest. It’s hard to explain what it is exactly but, basically, it is a mixture of clay and water. This mixture is applied to the ceiling in a manner that looks like a blue sky and that dries to a sort of ‘gloss’.
Its funny the types of blue that we see on the ceiling of a home so often. When I was a kid, I remember my mom and dad had blue farm house ceiling paint. They would leave it on for the entire summer. It really did look pretty, but I remember it was pretty boring.
You know, I thought I was going to be writing about the blue farm house ceiling. I was wrong.
As a kid, you don’t think about ceiling colors. You just think about the way it looks. You think about how it matches with the rest of your home and you think about how it looks. I think about the way the blue farm house ceiling will reflect the light, and how it will look as the sun starts rising. So there we have it.
