Rue and amp; Jessie Zinke

Have you guys checked out issue two of Rue?? So many fabulous spaces, but this vibrant Chelsea loft belonging to lingerie designer Jessie Zinke and photographed by Emily Anderson was my favorite. A collection of pieces she has lovingly acquired over time, everything in her home makes her heart jump. I feel the same way just looking at the photos! The dining room is straight out of my dreams...I'm drooling over the floral fabric on those chairs! For more on this spectacular home, head on over to Rue. And check out Zinke Design for their beautiful collection of intimates and loungewear. They also have a great blog!

I wish you all a wonderful December weekend! Come back next week for pictures from my trip to New York! :)

Guest Blogger: Janell from Isabella & Max Rooms

Thanks for inviting me to be a guest blogger today Erin! I love visiting House of Turquoise to see what turquoise delights are being featured, it really is one of the happiest and most beautiful colors there are. I am such a fan of this color that is has made its way into many of the rooms in our home, including Isabella's Girls Dream Bedroom...No Boys Allowed! Shades of turquoise were used on the walls, headboard, bedding and chair.

It was also the perfect color to paint a fun little footstool, accented with Rub 'n Buff and covered with a fun fur fabric.

It is also the color of fabric I selected to use when having a pair of slipper chairs reupholstered.

If painting walls or covering chairs in turquoise is too big of a commitment, introducing it into a room through accessories is nearly always a good choice. This tray was painted using SW Watery paint and a favorite geometric design.

Finally, why not incorporate turquoise into the holiday decor color scheme? Last year I used turquoise ornaments to dress up a wreath, the mantel and staircase banister, and I'm getting ready to pull them out again!

Thanks again for having me Erin, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Guest Blogger: Kellie from Ada & Darcy

I just find myself always drawn to turquoise, and when I see a bit of pink in there as well, my heart always skips a beat. With a white background and splashes of colour, it makes for a vibrant, happy and beautiful space!

When starting my shop, I found myself naturally drawn to this palette and fortunately my customers love it too. Some of most popular products are my turquoise and pink Moroccan pouffes and customers have selected this beautiful combination for their homes as well.

With Christmas approaching, I'm planning for a turquoise and pink table setting and wrapping to match. My love for this combination continues ... xx

Pretty in Pink Nursery

Isn't this the coolest nursery you ever did see?! I spotted this sweet space in an amazing beach house on Sketch42. All that pretty pink against the grasscloth is just a dream. Then you have the yum Quadrille fabrics on the windows and fantastic daybed. And the custom-made dresser by Ercole. And the TDF ribbon-covered pillows and chair! And and and...every other little thing you see! Read more about the room and see pics of the rest of the home here!

30! (and a winner & some favorites!)

So today's the big day....my 30th birthday! I thought I'd share with you guys one of the rooms that inspired me to start this blog three years ago. I had seen this home while stalking Apartment Therapy's Fall Colors contest, and back then I'd never seen anything like it! One day when I wanted to go look at it again, it took me forever to find it. That's when I realized maybe I should start a blog to collect fabulous rooms, make them easier to find, and seriously, imagine the thrill of seeing turquoise room after turquoise room! Never in a million years did I think I'd have so many readers, meet so many people who love turquoise as much as I do. Thank you all so much for your comments every day, for inspiring me with your rooms and projects, and for sharing all of your amazing blogs with me. 30 is going to be the best year yet, and so much of that is because of you!

And with that, time to announce the winner of my giveaway! *Drumroll please!*

Carly of Grown Up Lady Me

Lucky girl! So now I'm turning off the computer and going to celebrate the rest of the day. In fact, I think I'll take tomorrow off too. (It's actually C's and my anniversary!!) So I'll see guys back here on Monday! I'll leave you with some more all-time favorite photos from Carla Ten Eyck Photography that I discovered on mimi and meg a year ago. I love them as much now as I did then! Ooh la la!

Jessica Thomas

I was delighted to discover the colorful world of stylist Jessica Thomas through The Newlywed Diaries. I guess it's not much of a discovery, since I've already seen and loved so much of her work in a ton of magazines. I love knowing who the talent behind all the beauty is! Check out her portfolio and I know you'll recognize a bunch more photographs!

Have a great weekend everyone! There's still time to be entered in my giveaway!

Vintage Guest Cottage

Love at first sight. That's what it was when I spotted this comfy guest cottage on Chic Coles yesterday. Photographed by Janis Nicolay and featured in Style at Home magazine, this cottage was designed by Colleen Sawatsky, owner of Vintage Home in Abbotsford, British Columbia. The colors, oh the colors...all so pretty! The breezy painted floors and furniture, delightful fabrics, crisp white walls, there is not one thing that I don't absolutely LOVE about this home! I hope you all enjoyed it too, and have the best Labor Day weekend ever!

Roberts Erickson Design

I'm dishing out the eye-candy today, complements of Roberts Erickson Design (remember that fab bedroom they designed?) The owners of this eclectic Myrtle Beach home featured in Grand Strand Magazine live here full-time, but still wanted to have a vacation vibe. They were very adamant about keeping things neutral, so pops of colors were brought in to create a look that coexists with the ocean-side landscape. The result is beachy, but not in a literal way. What I love the most is that the couple didn't start all over from scratch, they wanted to keep a lot of their original furniture and accessories. They just wanted an update. I'd say they got that and more! Too read all about their home, head here!
