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!

It's always an exciting day when Pantone announces their pick for Color of the Year! Emerald is their choice for 2013 and I'm very pleased...it looks fantastic with turquoise! According to Leatrice Eiseman, the executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, green is the most abundant hue in nature. The human eye actually sees more of it than any other color in the spectrum. I'm thinking green and blue has to be Mother Nature's favorite color combo! You can read all about Emerald and why they chose it over at Pantone!

Tracery Interiors

Aqua, seaweed green, driftwood, white...it just doesn’t get any better than that. The talented designers at Tracery Interiors hit the ball right out of the park with this WaterSound beach house photographed by Jean Allsopp! They gave the relaxed space a coastal vibe by bringing all the colors and textures of the beach indoors. Don't you love the circular conversation area?? Those blue slipcovered chairs look uber comfy! For even more fabulous beach homes designed by Tracery, just visit their portfolio...you'll be glad you did!

Guest Blogger: Hooper & Ann from Birds of a Feather Design

Hi, we are Hooper and Ann visiting from Birds of a Feather Design. We are so excited Erin asked us to guest blog while she is away. We are interior designers from Wilmington, NC and just finished a master bedroom that is covered in Erin's favorite hue. Of course, we try to work in a little turquoise every chance we get, but wanted to mix it up by pairing it with emerald and gold.
The inspiration started with a Christmas candle that I got last year.  I have been wanting to use this color palate ever since!

Lucky for us, we had a client who loves all shades of turquoise and was willing to give us free reign.

 The custom headboard and cornices were made by a local work room. Together, they add so much height and interest to the room.

 The green and white "Xu Garden" bedding is by Legacy Home and the ikat shams and bed skirt are custom.

 We added in a touch of charcoal zebra (because you need a little zebra in every space) and more touches of gold in the sitting area.

The pale aqua glass lamp and Safavieh marble table add new textures to the space.

We love the gold Nate Berkus (for Target) hammered bowl. 

 The artwork is from one of our favorite local shopping spots, Crabby Chic.

 The client had these amazing quartz lamps and the green mid-century side tables were a Craig's List find! Would you believe they were already painted in the perfect color?

 The client wanted storage and a place to hide the TV and components. We chose this limed oak, World's Away cabinet....

 ...and added a little bling.

 The ivory silk drapes flank the windows and peek out from under the cornices.

 We embellished the drapes with a green trim to add a little extra detail.

 The gold chandelier is from Home Depot (yes, as in "more saving, more doing"). It's beautiful in person.

 We hope you love it as much as we do -- don't be afraid to pair an unexpected color with turquoise. As Erin has shown us, it works with everything! Happy Thanksgiving and please come and visit us over at Birds of a Feather Design. We'd love to have you!

Bye bye birdie,
Ann and Hooper
