Ok first off SORRY for so many pictures today! I started this not realizing how many I’d compiled! Next time I promise I won’t wait so long to do a readers’ room post! Now…how cool are these?! Isn’t it amazing how everyone uses turquoise in a different way? How the different shades look great with different colors, create so many different moods? Above is why I love the color. And why I love you guys. You’re all so creative! I wish you all lived around Minneapolis so I could come sit in your homes and enjoy the inspiring spaces you’ve created. Thank you for sending me your photos…each one truly brings me joy! And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy! 🙂

    I like pics 3-5 (Nancy of Marcus Design), and especially love that white cabinet. How would you classify this style? I'm curious, because I tend to gravitate toward this look, but don't know what to call it, lol.

    Thanks, Erin for featuring one of my turquoise inspired rooms. Your site is an inspiration to those of us with a serious case of the "blues." I just can't seem to get away from using at least a little bit in every room I put together. It is definitely my new neutral!

    WOW! WOW! WOW! I feel like a glutton indulging in all this beautiful turquoise and aqua and teal deliciousness!
    So many wonderful and different looks (and ideas to copy – hee!). Love the aqua dresser in that perfectly pink room. So many wonderful, beautiful spaces! I'm going to have to follow some of these links and go to their sites.
    (One day, I'll send you pics, too. My downstairs is one open space with 3 different shades of aqua.)

    All I can say is WOW! I've been into pale green for years (and many other shades) but have just recently been expanding to turquoise. I seem to be incorporating it into every room lately. Will be back to check out more of you blog soon.

    It is so refreshing to see real people homes and the turquoise rooms they live in =) Thanks for sharing all the photos with us. You are one of the very, very few web pages I have "saved as a favorite". I have loved turquoise since I was a teen and it has just evolved with me as I have aged.

    RHONDA S.-could you pleaseee tell me what color of taupe paint you used on your walls? I have been looking for a color like that.

    Simply lovely rooms! What a great weekend read!

  38. MichCherie says

    August 23, 2010 at 3:54 pm

    Please don't apologize for all the pics Erin, because I just LOVE seeing all these rooms. How very inspiring and motivating to see such creativity and beauty. They are all just gorgeous, thanks so much for sharing them 🙂

    Thanks so much for showing my DIY Dog Bed! What an honor to be on your awesome blog!!! My son said to me the other day "Mom, why do you paint everything turquoise?"

    BECAUSE I LOVE IT! So much inspiration here!

    Arlette – what colour on the dining room walls? very sophisticated, darker but full of depth and calming.
    suggestion: organize readers projects by room – im researching turquoise for the bedroom.
    LOVE the kids beds put into the niche of the attic – best use of space without only the heads under the angled ceiling – will put this in my ideas file for when we add another storey.
    brilliant & inspiring
    thank you for this website
    turquoise makes me feel free and uplifted
