Turquoise to the rescue

I want spring to arrive, and winter to END!  I’m tired of being cold, I’m tired of everything looking gray, I’m tired of getting up at 6.30am every morning getting Luke ready for school freezing in the dark, and I’m tired of being tired of it! I’m talking so much about the weather lately, my chiropractor said I could have a job as a meteorologist, as I’m giving other patients weather updates off my new iPhone.  Scary…But I’m sure many of you feel the same way.

So I was thinking of things you can do to your home that would pick you up.   And few colors pack a punch like turquoise, and has the ability to lift your mood in an instant.  Maybe it’s because it’s the color of a delicious ocean, and the sky on a sunny day.  Painting the walls this vibrant hue is a sure fire way to beat the February weather blues!

Four 60’s  Marmalade Interiors custom vintage chairs  that I painted white, and finished in bold turquoise fabric, make me dream of a beach house.  Why not a cool bold wallpaper from Room Service in a powder room?

You’ll never feel bored cooking in this kitchen.  Do you have a small kitchen? A bold color can be just what it needs. Love the turquoise knobs.  Sometimes it’s the smallest detail that makes a room.

This is a chest of drawer I picked up at the flea market, and painted it a fun turquoise.

It makes me happy when I see it!

  1. Turquoise to the rescue…indeed!! Thanks for blogging such a fun post with inspirational photos, during such a long and cold winter. Makes me want to swim in a turquoise ocean. But since I can't do that, I am going to paint my niece's bed frame turquoise, instead of the planned on purple (although I do like purple).

  2. You know what is so crazy?? I am working on a 3 yr old girl's room, and I painted her dresser turq, AND I just sent out her chair to be reupholstered in…PURPLE (Well, lavender). I just posted about the chair! but still. So much like your last pic!

  3. Too funny littleshop…I am going to have to check out your post on the little girls room because that is the age of my niece. And as I said above I am going to paint her bed frame turquoise and her dresser violet. It's always fun getting fresh ideas and inspiration…that's why I am in love with Live Like You!

  4. Oh..one more thing..please send me the velvet couch and chennile bed spread INSTANTLY and..free. How that would cheer me….I will be watching for the UPS man..I know..don't hold my breath 🙁

  5. And, according to surveys, most people have a look at least at interview questions and answers before
    an interview. Without these strategies, the chance of earning more will certainly
    slip out of your hands little by little. It's now time to
    apply the concepts you have read in this article to your
    business.
