Swedish Delight

If you haven't already laid your eyes on Daisy Pink Cupcake's Swedish Style Home post featuring designer Shannon Bower's home, you're in store for something special on this lovely Friday. There are lots more images than just these, so check it out! I love all the robin's egg blue and pale European furnishings. What a beautiful home! Daisy sure has a knack for finding gorgeous images!

I am leaving this afternoon for a 10 day vacation to Las Vegas and Arizona. Perfect timing, since we had a big snow storm here in Minneapolis yesterday! I might have a chance here and there to share some turquoise rooms with you, but for the most part I'm going to take a break from the blog. (Things will be auto-posting on Everything Turquoise several times a day, if you're like me and still need a daily dose of our favorite color!)

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Beachy Chic

It's always a good day when I discover a new designer with a portfolio full of yummy rooms. It just so happens that Desire to Inspire leads me to many of these designers (they are so amazing over there!), like they recently did with Michelle Morgan Harrison. All of her rooms are just as tranquil as these, but I favor the blues! And ooh, with the orange. Love it with the orange.

Designers Guild Love

Time to check in with Designer's Guild! As always, their website is brimming with inspirational, drool-worthy interiors. According to them:
Our beautiful new Spring 2009 collections of fabrics and wallcoverings reflect the quintessential Englishness of the country house and its garden and are imbued with a gentle floral tradition, set against a lively graphic style reminiscent of a bygone age. In addition ‘Manhattan’ Prints offer a dynamic and contemporary new look designed to appeal to the young at heart of all ages.

Viceroy Miami

I was so happy to receive the Love Ya award yesterday from Style Rumors, a design blog filled with such inspirational and colorful rooms! That is where I found these images of the Viceroy Miami designed by Kelly Wearstler. Talk about chic. Wouldn't that be a grand place to stay on your next vacation?! Thanks again, Style Rumors! :)

Wall of Blues

A few weeks ago Delikatissen featured a slew of beautiful images from the portfolio of photographer Carl Dahlstedt. How could I not immediately fall for this bedroom? Love the wall of course, and those cute little lights under the window.

Living It Up in Malibu

If you guys haven't visited the portfolio of designer Nancy Price, you're in for a treat. This Malibu Home she designed is my absolute favorite. The kitchen counter and fireplace are stunning! Go here to see more pictures of this beautiful home and its amazing view!

Katie Ridder

All the images in Katie Ridder's online portfolio are so inspiring! These two are from a Park Avenue home she designed. Of course I love all the blue and the green, but the pop of red in the first image is divine! LOVE that fabric on the chair too.

Greystone Mansion

I love this dreamy bedroom featured in the latest issue of Veranda. It is from the Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills, which was the venue for Veranda's California Designers' Show House. I still haven't seen the issue, but I hear there are lots more gorgeous rooms to see! Thanks Anita! :)

So pretty

The gray Laura Ashley cabinet looks so pretty paired with the lovely aqua door and floor. I love how the all beautiful china just pops next to it too! From House to Home.

Michael Habachy

Atlanta based interior designer Michael Habachy sent Desire to Inspire a slew of images off his website that is currently being redesigned. I love this minimalist bedroom with such a chill vibe. Sadly, the rooms below are the ones I really want to see more of and I can't! They are just teasers of what to expect on the new website. I can't hardly wait! The nail salon is so dreamy and perfect in every way!

Sky and Citron

Aqua and orange isn't a combo I see around too much (I grew up in the 80's, not the 60's!), but I am really digging it in this Nantucket guesthouse bedroom (painted Benjamin Moore's "Lido Green") that was featured in House Beautiful. I love the way the designer John Willey described how it manages to feel so peaceful:
Don't take this the wrong way, but that room reminds me of 1960s Howard Johnson's colors — that wonderfully intense orange and aqua — but modernized a bit. It's such a terrific vintage palette and I have to admit, I love orange. The reason this pretty Florida-orange orange is calming is that it's printed on a natural beige ground instead of white. It tones down the intensity, makes it less bright, less Marimekko, more bedroomy.

Inspirational Kitchens

These kitchen cabinets are some of the most beautiful I've seen. Simply Seleta shared the first image on her blog and I can't get enough of it. I adore the blue and the green pops of color! The other two images come from the home of Viv of Ish & Chi. She wallpapered her cabinets all by herself and it looks just amazing!! Talk about inspirational photos!

Blissful Blue

This New York City home featured in House Beautiful was designed by Milly de Cabrol. My word there's a lot of blue! I think the dining room is my favorite. The slipcovers are so cute! And I love the arrangement on the table. A fun fact: The Roman shades are stuck onto a frame with velcro, rather than on a rod. Read all about this beautiful blue home here.

South Hampton Retreat

Here is another home designed by Steven Gambrel, one that completely encompasses everything a South Hampton house should. Just like the country home I posted about before, this one is also so fresh and serene. I especially love these 2 bedrooms. And how cool are the maps in the first image, and those turquoise chairs! So cute. And the last two, I LOVE the painted bookshelves.

These beautiful images of a Manhattan Beach, California home designed by Jeff Andrews usher in all sorts of visions of spring! (And it's yellow and aqua...again....!)
