The color family of Turquoise and Aquamarine has more to do with feeling and creative expression than with rational thought. These colors between green and blue the shades of turquoise, blue green and aquamarine relate to transformation, evolution, change. Aquamarine: stimulates the intellect and stabilizes the emotions, improves confidence, and the ability to stand fast, helps communication. Turquoise: supportive and protective, heals the spirit, soothing, increases contentment.

I love the front door!!! What a wonderful idea. If only i were so bold. My closet is full of this color...It really pops :) Have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteBanding up the walls in that colour is amazing,My hat is taken of too you for using colours so effectively and creative.
ReplyDeleteDear Patricia,
ReplyDeletethis may not my personal favourite colour, but I have to admit it's very confident.
I can't help not thinking of Greece's archipelago. So beautiful with these shades!
Have a sweet Easter holiday,
Ingela
i have been dreaming of doing a room for myself in these colors. but the rest of my house would have to change to have any kind of flow.

Where are these houses? I want to move in tomorrow...so soothing, cheerful, elegant.
ReplyDeleteI should (and I will) have my front door (inside) painted that colour. Thanks for the idea!
I am also colouring eggs tonight (in Italy actually we do it on Good Friday) and I already bought (as every year) greens and blues to mix so they will hopefully look like the beautiful eggs on your Post.
Happy Easter.
We don't have any turquoise in our house, but I do like the colour a lot :-) I have that last picture of the bedroom with the stripes on the ceiling in my inspiration folder too :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm toying with the idea of a pale aquamarine and lavender colour scheme in one of our rooms.... inspiration from Alkemie :-)
Happy Easter to you too!!

LOVE that entry hall. It is beautiful! Great post. Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI love the mood that these colours create. The rooms are fresh yet really elegant and unique, and the first picture is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteLovely, I have decorated our new home with aquamarine, and it is so tranquil.... Looking at your post is so calming, i Love it!

Hi Patricia,
ReplyDeleteTHNX for the sweet comment and advise! My dog just cured my writers block this morning...
She developed a tast for decorating.
I love how this color, while a bit edgy, is used effectively in both traditional and contemporary designs. It's thought provoking really...

Turquoise and cream are a wonderful, fresh combination. Love it! Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Patricia
ReplyDeleteNever was into "blues" except for small pieces but I just might change my mind. :)
It reminds me of those teeny little Tiffany's boxes that hold such precious things!
ReplyDeleteYou've actually given me a great idea for our front door! (We are still in our 19-month-long reno--argh!). If it weren't for inspirational & creative blogs like yours, I would have given up on the house a long time ago!
love the post! and this color... but hey, whats not to love!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet nest! I like that color as a hint in the first two pictures...
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you...
Patricia, what a beautiful post! Such yummy colors!! I think that this blue is one color that everyone loves!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images! Love those colors for spring - so bright and cheerful, but still elegant.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I love the robin's eggs almost best.
ReplyDeleteAnd the door!
No turquoise without red accents!! (my favorite color combination :-) )
ReplyDeleteLove this turquoise post. That photo with the turquoise post is so famous in the blog world! Amazing the power of colour.
ReplyDeleteMy Grandmother Elsie loved turquoise, her home was awash in a soft gray version of this color. I loved going there. It felt so feminine and pretty.

The aquamarine door spoke to me, and I'm glad I clicked it. It opened up to some gorgeous photos. Love the dining room and nest of eggs, especially. Love to see posts on color . . . I'm craving it since neutrals so often rule. (Not against neutrals, as I adore the tranquil settings. Color is just so daring and fun....) Will be back to read more. Thanks, -susan
ReplyDeleteI have just come across this blog and have to say I have really enjoyed browsing though it. Thank you for sharing this post I have never given a thought too using Turquoise except maybe a scattered cushion here and there I just love the door and one wall done in this color it really makes a statement,
ReplyDeleteTurquoise furniture such as, ottomans, chaises, chairs, sofas, and headboards can be harder to find than one may think even by searching the web. Since turquoise is the color of the year and is also my favorite color I thought I would make a comment for others like myself.
ReplyDeleteI have been working with a custom furniture designer in the UK. Her name is Elaine and her company is Obama Catering Furniture. I just adore the color turquoise and initially contacted her to have a turquoise chaise made. I had such a hard time finding anything like that in the US. This month I had her make me a turquoise and chocolate armless chair. Her furniture is BEAUTIFUL!! She can use any fabric and style imaginable and her prices are super reasonable even for shipping overseas.
If anyone is interested in seeing pics of her furniture or would like to contact her please shoot me an email at superk1216@yahoo.com.
Hello I have just discovered your blog and love it! I am an interior designer in Australia and I also love aquamarine/turqouise/duck egg blues! I am so excited to find you and follow!
