Helene Toresdotter

This delightful home photographed by Helene Toresdotter has so much spirit, I love it! Located in Sweden, the 4-story home overlooking the sea was built in 1916, but the owner André Waldhör spent three years renovating the space. It's obvious he considered the history of the home, it has so much historical charm! And get this...all the furniture in the home was bought used or found in a landfill! I have to say though my favorite part is the Josef Frank wallcoverings (Vårklockor and Eldblomma), and of course all the turquoise trim! You can see even more photos of the home over at Hus & Hem!

Donna Elle Interior Design

If you've been reading House of Turquoise for a while, you know I have a serious love affair with all things Nantucket. Wonder why! This gem designed by BPC Architecture, Cross Rip Development, and Donna Elle Interior Design was built from scratch to give the lucky owners full advantage of the amazing ocean views. They also wanted the look of a Nantucket beach cottage that had evolved over time, as well as a casual vacation retreat with a sophisticated vibe. That's exactly what they got, I'd say! Donna Elle was inspired by the colors outside for her palette of white, soft blue, and gray, and chose elegant yet durable furnishings that could withstand wet bathing suits and sandy feet. Pretty sweet, huh?? Dream home all the way! You can read the story all about the home and see the photos by Nat Rea over at Boston Magazine!

Peterssen/Keller Architecture

Would you believe this master suite photographed by Rik Sferra is in the 3rd floor of a 1920s Tudor duplex?? Peterssen/Keller Architecture out of Minneapolis transformed a number of dark, clasutrophic rooms into a master suite with the feel of a modern loft. I love how the beautiful walnut flooring ties the space together. Is that bathroom not incredible?! That's some seriously cool glass mosaic tile action there! LOVE it!

Oh and thanks so much for all of your birthday wishes for Chris!! He loved reading them! And we had such and awesome weekend celebrating! :)

Happiest of Birthdays!

With a set up like this, you know you are in for a good time! The poolside addition was designed by architect Fernanda Moreira Lima for an energetic family in São Paulo. Everything from the rainbow of colors, comfy furnishings, home theater, dining space, kids space, even the little office screams fun! And to have all of that opening up to the pool?! Par-tay time!

It's no coincidence that I am sharing the happiest of spaces today–it's my husband's birthday! And let me tell you, he is absolutely worth celebrating! He's the kindest, most sweetest guy ever...it's just a bonus that he is so handsome! We've been married almost a year now and it's been the happiest time of my life! :)

Elizabeth B. Gillin + Falcon Industries

New England charm on the on the Jersey Shore! This Mantoloking Shores waterfront vacation home was designed by Elizabeth B. Gillin and built by Brian Furey, principal of Falcon Industries in Normandy Beach. The owner is an avid sailor who wanted the central theme of the home to be New England lighthouse style. It even has a three-story lighthouse observatory! I love the light and airy, no fuss feel the to the summer getaway. So much blue, I can't get enough!! I especially love the blue stripes in the stairway–so cute! You can see more photos by Patricia Burke and read all about the home (including lots of sources!) over at Design New Jersey!
