Hello, dear ones...
Oh my gosh....what a busy time...
and right in the middle of it all,
Mr. Sweet and I both have winter colds...
He is just about over his and mine is just starting so I'm pretty sure
HE GAVE IT TO MOI....
Even tho I'm walking around with Lysol spray and disinfectant wipes,
I STILL caught it.
BUMMER ...!!
The only good thing is that most likely, I will be totally over it
for CHRISTMAS.
Yay !
OK....on with the blue post....
Some of you may remember that I have chosen
TURQUOISE
as my accent color in this
beautiful SUMMER HOUSE that our son and daughter in law have so graciously and generously offered to us for our new home.
I found this beautiful and sooo soft turquoise throw at TARGET and I am about to go back and buy another.
LUV IT !!
A fun turquoise lamp on the chest of drawers in the master....
Yep...I added the silver colored cross and tied a cute, saucy burlap bow on it...
A turquoise pillow or two...
and, of course those turquoise birds....
Besides loving the color of turquoise,
Actually, I believe it is my
FAVORITE COLOR...
Actually, I believe it is my
FAVORITE COLOR...
THIS is the inspiration of the color...
...this luscious color in the rug...
the cushions...
everywhere I look.
So, here for CHRISTMAS...
it was only NATURAL to put
a delicious TURQUOISE tree in our new dining room...
This little BIG LOTS 4' tree came lighted...$20....NOT BAD !!
I added just a few SILVER picks...
I also used some of that beautiful white mesh ribbon
that I love.....
I do love my non-traditional dining room tree...
I must say....
it looks GREAT in this dining room by the sea...
OK....OK.... by the POOL !!!
SHEESH.....
Sure been cold here...
that frozen little water fall is at the entrance to this house addition....
that white snow sure makes the color of the water sooo BLUE... beautiful.

ReplyDeleteyour tree is just perfect - I love this color but do not have a drop of it in my home!! Also love the frozen tundra of a waterfall! WOW!! And I imagine you won't be skinny dipping in the cold, cold sea of yours!??
ReplyDeleteTurquoise is the perfect accent color for your new home BJ. Love your tree!
ReplyDeleteI love the turqoise tree. I hope you both feel better real soon.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing your new home up right, but your sidebar needs improvement.

ReplyDeleteIt does look cold there.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your blue and hope your are healthy soon.
Turquoise has always been one of my favorite colors. (I have several!) I love your decor in your new home and the touches of turquoise, it's just beautiful! And that tree was a wonderful find!
ReplyDeleteHope you get over your cold quickly. Take care!
Your beautiful little honeymoon cottage is adorable, BJ. I like the turquoise very much, but I especially like how you've embraced the newness of it all - so fresh and bright. So YOU!
ReplyDeleteLove your turquoise tree, bj. It is darling. I am so sorry that you have both had/have colds. How miserable this time of year. It LOOKS cold there- at least here we EXPECT to be cold...but Texas? Nah- you are supposed to be WARM! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteLove your decorating and the accent color. So festive at your place.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and it looks so good. Your tree in the dining room looks wonderful. So sorry that you both have colds - take care of yourselves.
ReplyDeleteHave a Very Merry Christmas.

ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon. All that pretty around you should help! I am trying to break out and do some things different this year also. Love all your color!

Feel better soon -- I don't like colds anytime of the year. I love your little tree. I keep forgetting to check out Big Lots! Turquoise is one of my favorite colors and I'm loving how you are using this luscious color. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHope you get to feeling better soon. I love your Turquoise tree and the way you have it decorated. Enjoy your new home and have a very Merry Christmas. Have a blessed day. Madelline
ReplyDeleteFell better ~ love your accent color and great shots ~ Happy Holidays to all ~ carol, xxx
ReplyDeleteSorry you're not feeling so great. I hope you get over that cold quickly. And I really like your turquoise accents. I really like those library shelves, too. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh that color is beautiful! So strange to see snow in your corner. It certainly is beautiful by the sea. Feel better soon! Chicken soup sounds good!
ReplyDeleteHi Bj, I love the turquoise accents and especially the cute tree. Feel better soon and have a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Sherry
Oh bummer about the cold, I hope you and Mr. Sweet feel better soon! Lots of hot cocoa and relaxing is what you need. Look at all that snow! I haven't seen that very much on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise accents you have around the house, and that lighted blue tree is gorgeous:>)
Bummer that you've caught a cold, BJ, but you're right...at least you won't be sick for Christmas Day! When I was little, there was ALWAYS someone sick then at our house.
ReplyDeleteYour turquoise tree & decorations are just divine...what a special & unique take for display. I love it, as that is my favorite color in all the world. (close second would be RED)
I hope you feel better soon & that it warms up for you down there. We won't be warm here till EASTER!! LOL
Hi bj! So pretty, even the snow around the pool! Your turquoise is just gorgeous, but as much as I wear it (jewelry, T's, etc.) I don't decorate with it...doubt I ever will, but..I don't (sob!) get to live in a lovely pool house either! Some folks just get lucky, is what I have to say!! JUST get lucky!! :) It's a gorgeous color and you are doing a beautiful job using it. :)
ReplyDeleteBig hugs and Merry Christmas! Just a bit over a week to go! Hard to believe, isn't it?
Hi I love your turquoise Christmas tree! It's so pretty the way you have it decorated! Have a wonderful and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Julie
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment, what else could I expect from you - Sweet Nothings!! I love the turquoise tree--so pretty with the silver picks. We've had several holiday parties so I haven't been blogging as much as I like but I love all the festivities.
ReplyDeleteAnn
BJ,
ReplyDeleteI love your "splash" of turquoise, dear friend!!!
So~o~o thrilled for you to be in your new home for Christmas!!!
EnJOY the bounties of your blessings!!!
Fondly,
Pat
P.S. That's what you get for kissing that dear, "Mr.Sweet"! (wink! wink!)
Hope you're both feeling better soon!
There's a Big Lots in our town and I have never been there. I think of you when I pass by it though. Someday I am going to shop there for sure!! Love your turquoise tree!
ReplyDeleteFeel better soon! Love turquoise.
