A Bedroom's Tribute to Turquoise...

ALL THINGS TURQUOISE


Today I feel like indulging in TURQUOISE. Sometimes you just get that way...right girls?


What is "turquoise." OK, I looked it up - what can I say - I gotta Google!!!



So this is what I came up with according to Wikipedia:


Turquoise is a slightly greenish shade of cyan. The color is based on the gem turquoise. The term comes from the French for "Turkish."

The first recorded use of Turquoise as a color name in English was apparently in 1573!

Turquoise pairs extremely well with pink, red and white, don't you think?


I absolutely love this turquoise Letter Holder! That's my Shabby Chic lamp by Rachel Ashwell to the right...


An irridescent turquoise leaf plate, which serves as a great "catchall."

Detail of the turquoise basket weave handbag on the night stand to the right.

These are so funky that I love using these as a bedroom decorating item!

A gal's gotta have a great Travel Tote, this one is from Buxton and it's indispensible!


A baroque paterned vest in upholstery material is used for display and is layered with Victorian ephemera and rhinestone bracelets...

This chartreuse and turquoise satin top is the perfect backdrop for a multi-stranded turquoise choker I made recently.

This Venetian mirror with its pink blossoms, goes extremely well with the pink floral motif...



...as does this lotus plant placed in a turquoise glass vase, grouped with other turquoise items...

Hey, I have that same duvet and another one that looks just like it that I guess is from the same collection. Also, those shoes are works of art!
