Costas Picadas

When the proportion of AM child's room above his blog Cape Cod Design, I had a suspicion the rest of the house photographed by Costas Picadas must be damn cool too. So I did some research and found several photos of the party blue and white on the Greek island of Mykonos. These funky chandeliers are great and I want them all. While we're at it, I'll get spectacular views too! See more photos here!

Guest Blogger: Laura from Bright Bold and Beautiful

Hello all, Laura Trevey here from Bright Bold and Beautiful! I am super excited to share with you my favorite turquoise room... As Chevy Chase says in my favorite holiday movie, Christmas Vacation, "drum roll please..." My art studio is where I live, breathe and get inspiration every single day. I cannot remember what I did with my time before we added this bright room in our home. The soothing and cheerful turquoise color is Spring Mint.

Thank you Erin for your daily inspiration on House of Turquoise! I am delighted and honored to be here and share my studio with you.

Thank you Laura! I never get tired of seeing this amazing studio! It's such an inspiring space! Head to Bright, Bold and Beautiful to check out the amazing watercolors that Laura creates...they're all incredibly beautiful. Her blog is a ton of colorful fun too!

The London Store Cross

I love this woman's bathroom in the magazine photographed by Winfried Heinze Casaviva. Enough space belongs to Sarah O'Keefe, one of the owners of the London boutique The Cross. None of you ever stop there, or your new home and inside the magazine "cross the road? (I love that!) If something like this bathroom, I'm there next time I'm in London! The ornate mirror and bathrooms are painted fab-u-Lous!

Jeffrey Fisher Home

I'm delighted to share these rooms designed by Toronto-based Jeffrey Fisher Home and photographed so beautifully by Virginia MacDonald. The brother and sister team of Jeffrey and Deborah Fisher have the benefit of a unique background, her a career in advertising and Jeffrey in fashion design, that gives them a sophisticated and creative perspective. I'm captivated by every single itty bitty inch of that light-filled kitchen! And the addition of the coral in the dining room...yummy! To check out more of their interiors, head on over here!

Armelle Studio

Do you guys remember little Norah's nursery?? One of my ALL-TIME favorites ever?! The design genius behind it and this gorgeous studio is jewelry designer Caroline of Armelle Jewelry. Schumacher's Birds and Butterflies wallpaper is a match made in heaven with her stained concrete floor. (Wouldn't you love to do that in your basement?!) I absolutely adore the white armoire she lovingly painted too, and how the inside is painted Robins Nest by Benjamin Moore to match the floors. Read all about these projects and more over on her blog!

Amy Bergman And Linda MacArthur

And yesterday was supposed to be all about the love?! Thanks, Traditional Home and photographer Emily Followill, my heart can't handle this!! Interior designer Amy Bergman and her husband Bret teamed up with architect Linda MacArthur to build their dream home in Atlanta. A haven for the busy family, the soft color scheme of taupes and pale blues throughout the home is soothing and harmonious. How fabulous is that scalloped stair wall following the curved lines of the upholstered banquette?! And those tufted dining chairs?! And that bathtub with the arched marble backsplash?!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you're all feeling the l-o-v-e today!! I've shared this room designed by Diane Bergeron before, it's one of my favorites, but I really couldn't think of a more perfect photo for the day! Don't you love the extra color from the piping and trim, all the pillows covered in Rubie Green "East Village" fabric, and that cute Love poster?! (Anyone have info on that?) The bedroom actually belongs to Diane's daughter in their Melbourne home...what a lucky girl!

I'm so excited for my very first (and only!) Valentine's Day as an engaged girl! Happy V-Day, Chris, I can't wait to celebrate! I wish you all a wonderful, love-filled day as well! <3 Edit: Thanks to Chelsea from This Fresh Fossil for giving us info on the Love design! It was designed by Alexander Girar, a 20th century artist and modern design master. What's even cooler is that if you head to How About Orange, you can download the iconic design for your desktop wallpaper!

Anoushka Harlequin Collection

Get out of town! The new Anoushka collection from Harlequin is positively straight out of my dreams!!

Its provocative patterns and powerful colour palette have been cleverly planned to work together in a glorious bohemian fusion, deliberately clashing and harmonising at the same time. The overall aura of the collection is embracing and welcoming, aimed at creating a nurturing home.

Just looking at these images is curing the dreariness of winter (ok...almost) and getting me in the mood for spring. So eye-catching and flamboyant, I love it all! Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Edit: If you're located in the US, Sea Green Designs carries the fabric! Yay!

Tim Clarke

Interior designer Tim Clarke out of Santa Monica, California is known for taking classic motifs and interpreting them in a fresh way. I adore his modern beach home style...free and light, nautical without being kitschy. Tim's retail store in Santa Monica, Tower 20 Store, reflects his coastal modern aesthetic so even us land-locked (and freezing cold) folks can infuse our homes with sophisticated, beachy style. See more of his work over at Coastal Living, and his website!

Thanks you guys for all your sweet birthday comments for my dad yesterday!! He got such a kick out of reading them! :)

Carl Steele And Birthday Wishes

This serene master bedroom featured in Veranda designed by Philadelphia-based Carl Steele and photographed by John Hall is crisp and cool. I don't think it would ever cross my mind to mix zebra-print curtains and Greek key-pattern carpeting, but the two definitely complement each another here!

I have to give a big birthday shout-out to my dad today!! He's a giant supporter of all my blogs (he should really be the head of my PR!), and of turquoise in general...he's always sending me photos from his iphone of turquoise stuff he sees, and proudly wears the turquoise shirts I buy him. What a great dad!

Happy Birthday, Dad!!

Stella Cadente

I loved this post on Down and Out Chic dedicated to striking purple and blue interiors. Among the collection was this way cool guesthouse located in Provins, France. The rooms in La maison de Stella Cadente were actually designed by fashion designer Stella Cadente. Each room has its own unique personality, but my favorite is the jewel-toned "non-smoking" room above. She also designed the Salon Beaujon in the Sofitel Paris Arc de Triomphe. The turquoise ceilings are tres fabuleux!
