Nicki Pasqualone of Vitalic Photography + Giveaway Winner!

What a way to wrap up the week! This is a rare treat...one brought to us by Nicki Pasqualone - a professional photographer who holds an interior design license, whose dad (Randy Hines) is general contractor! Nicki recently finished enclosing her Florida porch into a sunroom (office, playroom, den) and I cannot get over how perfect it is (or how adorable her daughter is!) I just love how she took Urban Outfitter's ruffle shower curtain and stretched it around a blank canvas. Brilliant! The wall ... View Post

Lane Venture

One of the things I'd love for our new home to have is a fabulous outdoor space. Thoughts of dining al fresco make me so happy! I couldn't help but daydream when I toured the showroom belonging to Lane Venture. I've admitted it before on here that I'm not a fan of wicker furniture...but what I saw completely changed my mind. I loved the smooth, modern silhouettes of their pieces. But my favorite thing was the HUGE selection of all-weather fabrics. And I must be living under a rock, but I had no ... View Post

Karen Robertson Collection

Imagine the delight in discovering the Karen Robertson Collection at High Point Market! Seeing these breathtaking display of treasures immediately took my breath away. Talk about sophisticated, chic beachy art. The hand-tinted sea fans suspended in glass are incredible in person. Well really all of it is...I could have lingered for hours! Don't you love the fabric here? It's all from Karen's new fabric line available in the spring featuring nautical patterns and fabulous colors. Learn more about ... View Post

Drexel Heritage

Welcome to the wonderful world that is High Point Market! This set of photos I took was from my favorite space in the Drexel Heritage showroom. I seriously wanted to plunk down and call it home. Isn't the fresh mix of patterns and colors fantastic?? Drexel Heritage was actually one of the companies that sponsored my trip out there, so we got a really great tour of their fabulously styled showroom. (And I mean fab-u-lous!) I was not familiar with them beforehand, so I was like a sponge taking it ... View Post

Denise Fogarty Interiors

Fresh and unexpected, that's precisely why I love these rooms designed by Denise Fogarty and photographed by Alise O'Brien! It's really no wonder why Denise was named one of the seven of St. Louis' top designers. I know we're all fans of white kitchens these days (I'm downright obsessed), but aren't they ten times yummier when paired with blue walls? I love the little computer area too, although I know I'd spend way more time there than actually cooking! The living area has so many great ... View Post

EJ Interiors

I immediately fell madly in love with this space when I saw it on Material Girls! Emily Johnston of EJ Interiors designed this fabulous vignette for Dwell with Dignity’s new Thrift Studio store that recently opened in Dallas. I cannot get over the color scheme here...the bold orange and turquoise color scheme is so fun, but the space feels totally chic. Love the striped fabric on the chairs! And of course the perfect wall color: Benjamin Moore 710 Kensington Green. Love! To see lots more photos ... View Post

I’m back!

I'm back from North Carolina! What a cool experience that was. Just to fill you in, High Point Market is the largest furnishings industry trade show in the world. Can you say heaven? I'm talking more than 2,000 exhibitors, in over 180 buildings, covering 10 million square feet of showspace! My most comfiest shoes and I only covered a small portion of that during my short stint, but I tried my best to cover the turquoise scene. And boy was there a scene...it was everywhere! (Yay for us!) I need ... View Post

Guest Blogger: Crystal from The Weekend Homemaker

Hi, I'm Crystal, from The Weekend Homemaker, and I am delighted to be a guest blogger today at House of Turquoise (somebody pinch me!) Erin asked me to share my new home office and I'm really excited to give you the low down on how I turned a rarely used (and poorly decorated) dining room into a space that me and my husband use every day. We're a family of four living in a smidge less than 2,000 square foot home, meaning space is at a premium. I calculated that in the last two years, ... View Post
