Turquoise

Because I never tire of the color...
And summer is when you can really show it off.

Love it. I used quite a bit of turquoise in this week's cookies and you are right - can't get enough.

nita had to come back and tell you that i just got back from a local estate sale where i purchased a vintage le crueset dutch oven in the most beautiful turquoise color imaginable. i use these to bake my bread in. i'm turquoise drunk at the moment.

Oh Nita! More turquoise to ponder! I just LOVE this color! It's so calm and cooling and peaceful. When I win the lottery, I am going to purchase a cute beach house and turquoise will be my main color! It really belongs near the ocean I think! Accented with pink and yellow and...and...and! LOL

I LOVE all those turquoise rooms! I can't believe that I've loved turquoise for such a long time and have never had a turquoise room. I'm gonna have to do some re-painting!

Aqua is my hands down favorite color!
It is so...amazing however you choose to use it!
I love all of these pics but my heart skipped a beat over the wallpapered sitting room!
It's stunning!
The precious little trailer would be so cut parked in my yard!
Have a wonderful weekend

All of these images are so beautiful! Especially the first one and the one of the vintage trailer...I want one so badly! They would be so fun to decorate, I think.

I love that map and frame, I cut it out of a magazine years ago. I would love to find that somewhere!

Great pix...I love the map as Art...I too have a large map on my dining room wall, it is a navigation chart from my Fathers commercial fishing boat and of the waters around my home town.

Blessings Kelsie
