For the moment, "Green" will need to step aside as I have a confession. I am in full-blown, head-over-heels, dance-on-the-ceiling, LOVE with the color blue. (Where is Oprah's couch when I need a good jump?) Having already lived through a beige phase and dabbled with earth tones (it was college,) I suppose it was only a matter of time before I would succumb to the cool, soothing shades created by none other than Mother Nature herself. What did surprise me, however, is how hard I fell. I am officially smitten by shades of the Caribbean, Robin's Egg Blue and Aquamarine.
The good news is, I discovered not only am I not alone, there is a whole community suffering from the same affliction. And, thanks to an intervention by my design-savvy friend Shiloh, I am introduced to a support group: House of Turquoise . Contained within its virtual walls, is a swoon-worthy collection of the most incredible rooms adorned in, you guessed it, shades of turquoise. Feverishly, I begin right-clicking and squirreling away inspirational images that feature these tantalizing tones.
I have compiled a few of my favorites below. My enthusiasm, unfortunately, made me a bit sloppy when it came to documenting sources, so I am not entirely able to give credit where credit is due. If you discover I have inadvertently lifted your photo, please consider it an act of admiration and a result of novice blogger-ing.
No captions necessary. Just a deep breath...
