Michel Van Devender

How often do we get to see a turquoise Christmas tree?! So fun! This festive Charlotte, North Carolina home belongs to Michel Van Devender, a designer at Lisa Sherry Interieurs and was featured in the recent Holiday issue of Lonny. I loved Michel's bit of of advice: "Let your home tell the story of who your family is and how you live. People are interesting and have personalities, and so should their homes." Yes! And from I'm seeing above, this is one fun family! You can read all about the home and see lots more photos by Patrick Cline right here!

Flea Market Trixie

We received our first big batch of snow over the weekend here in Minnesota, so I am in holiday mode big time now! And let me tell you, I would love it if my halls were decked liked Flea Market Trixie's! The green and turquoise combo is so fresh and happy, a perfect complement to her already beautiful home. (You may remember seeing the space without the holiday decor here.) I love all of her vintage and handmade items, especially her collection of lovely vintage frames and art. (Check out her Etsy shop for similar pieces!) For more pics and to read all about her decor, head right over here!

A fun side note, when I was at the grocery store the other day I noticed Flea Market Trixie's porch on the cover of Cottage Style Magazine! So exciting, congrats Flea Market Trixie!

Elizabeth Hague Interiors

We spent this past weekend decorating our home for the holiday, now it's time to decorate the blog! When the owners of this cozy mountain home moved from D.C. to Park City, Utah, they hired interior designer Elizabeth Hague and architect George Myers to design them a home with a traditional Eastern aesthetic...no typical timbered mountain home for this family! The beautiful fabrics and rugs inspired the paint colors, and get this, Elizabeth chose more than 30 different shades (I'll share a few below). Finish your tour of the home with more photographs by John Granen, and read the heartwarming story over at Traditional Home!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Just stopping in to wish all of my American readers a Happy Thanksgiving! Isn't this tablescape designed by Chris Nease of Celebrations at Home perfect for today (and this blog)?! I love the brown and turquoise color scheme with the pop of orange and yellow from the flowers. So many great ideas here, my favorite being the cute wishbones! I love that everyone gets to make a wish! See more pics and learn all about this festive table right here!

I can hardly believe it but this November marks my 5th year writing this blog. I'd never have made it this long without all of your support and encouragement, not to mention shared love of turquoise! So on this thankfullest day of the year, thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for reading House of Turquoise!

Signing off from our cute little cabin in Montana!

Boo...

 I really do not enjoy Halloween or anything scary. But I am looking forward to some trick or treaters tonight, now that we live in a neighbor. For our pumpkin craving, we went simple with this design...drilling holes in the pumpkin.
