favorite things: turquoise

My favorite color is, without any doubt, turquoise.  

It always has been.

I would love to have the all the rooms in my house painted various shades of turquoise.

Alas, turquoise is not exactly neutral.  In fact, it is gorgeously girlie!  

So I will stick to subtle accents.

For dear hubby's sake.

Turquoise tends to make anything look more amazing.

I could get away with lots of lovely turquoise in the nursery:

I simply had to promise Hubby that the next bedroom I designed for Baby Boy 

would be all sports...or trucks...or something extremely boyish!

Also, in our outdoor space I have slowly been adding various 

turquoise accents, such as the market umbrella, throw pillows

and several DIY painted terra cotta planters:

Latest additions?

Also, I finally found a use for this turquoise glass vase I found at a 

garage sale ages ago.  I just filled it with river rocks and 

added a bamboo stalk for a 

simple, zen centerpiece:

Do you adore turquoise, too?

I would love to know how you

infuse this color into your decor

whether subtly

or boldly!

{And if you have entire walls painted turquoise, then YES, 

I am very jealous.}
