Welcome, Sweet Springtime!

Spring is in the air! And if not outside your windows, definitely in that first delightful image above. (The cute kitty called for top placement!) Photographed by Peter Carlsson and featured in Hus & Hem, this century-old Swedish home is light and bright, just what I love. The sunny porch is such a great space...what a pretty place to keep your things or enjoy a cup of tea! Tour the rest of the home here!

Miles Redd + The Winner!

I have to admit I never picked up an issue of Town & Country until Stephen Drucker took over. Not sure what it was like before, but his first issue impressed me. This Atlanta home designed by color genius Miles Redd and photographed by Francesco Lagnese is opulence at its finest. The living room?? The walls are covered in stretched turquoise silk satin. The dressing room? Hand painted de Gournay wallaper. And the breathtaking bedroom floor?? Oscar de la Renta leopard-print carpet. I love the fashion sketches in the bathroom covering the platinum blue Boussac Tarentelle wallpaper too. Oh the other half!

Time to announce the lucky winner of the Candace Rose giveaway!

Tyler of Tyler's Taste Tests!!!

And with that happy news, I'm going to turn off my computer and get ready for my trip to New York! I leave tomorrow morning and will be gone 10 whole days. Yay! I asked some of my favorite bloggers to entertain and inspire us with their favorite turquoise spaces. You'll love it. In addition, you can still check out Everything Turquoise...I have 50 posts scheduled on there! ;)

Dream Workspace

One of the things that excited me when I moved last year was to finally have my own office. I had big dreams for the space ... beautiful and efficient space, colorful and inspiring life. It was about 6 months. From the outset, I received a fabulous new apartment (thanks Dad!), BM beautiful waterfall wall (thanks Chris !)...... Ikea furniture and the remains of my apartment. No art, no curtains, no doorstep. That's my resolution for the new year, fancy my workspace. MyHomeIdeas that would be perfect. They call this the "control center of the family." That's what I call a blogger's dream of turquoise!

Inspirational Kitchens

These kitchen cabinets are some of the most beautiful I've seen. Simply Seleta shared the first image on her blog and I can't get enough of it. I adore the blue and the green pops of color! The other two images come from the home of Viv of Ish & Chi. She wallpapered her cabinets all by herself and it looks just amazing!! Talk about inspirational photos!

A Little Piece of Green and Blue Heaven

Last week Rebecca from Harmony and Home featured this AMAZING room designed by Hamilton Design Associates. Top ten for sure. The bold blue and green color scheme is so vibrant and happy. And I love all the patterns! But that closet....I want, I want!!

A Serious Case of Closet Envy

I'm sure many of you already saw this AMAZING closet that Joni over at Cote de Texas posted from a house for sale in Illinois. But I can't help but share it. Rather, I can't help but keep it for myself because this is seriously my dream come true. I hear angels singing I think. Too bad I cannot afford this closet, nevertheless the home! (Which is simply grand too...check it out here.)

Anywhoo, I am leaving tonight for a 10 day excursion to Colorado. I should have some time here and there to post, but if I don't, I'm probably up in the mountains! :)
