Color Me Happy

When we first moved into THE SUMMER HOUSE, turquoise was my COLOR of CHOICE...

 Turquoise in the indoor/outdoor colorful rug I bought for our cute dining room...

and turquoise in the pillows...


...a little turquoise on the mantel...


a little more in the pillow

 and in the jar of shells and etc. connected with the SEA...the beautiful turquoise SEA.


....a pretty, soft turquoise throw for the vintage wicker loveseat...


a few more turquoise pillows for
charm..... :>)
OOO, and two brand new lamps...
Pier 1
Clear marine glass with TURQUOISE shades
and may I say right here and now, I am sooo in love.

They are sooo pretty and makes my bedroom feel like.....HOLLYWOOD...:)
(all I need is a long, fluffy BOA to wear with my nightgown)

and see the Robin's Egg Blue bed table...???

I bought it years ago in a thrift store.

it stayed beneath my bed for awhile, with it's original,
dark brown dress....
and I kept thinking I would paint it....just never did.

I gave it to Stacy, #one daughter, when we were packing to move.

She bought chalk paint, painted it and gave it back to me.....
she hasn't put wax on it yet...
she thought I might want it distressed and THEN do the wax....

as I'm not really big on distressed  pieces,
(that's just me, ya know)
when she gets home from her SEA CRUISE,
we'll decide which wax is best for this pretty piece.



It's going to be sooo pretty on my bed...

O, and did you notice the flirty little pillow here...?
NEW !!! :)

But that little table has more going for it than being PRETTY...


YES, MA'M....
a great little table for breakfast of

Fruit Loops Cereal...


















a half of a baked apple from yesterday's breakfast...
and


Dunkin Donut Coffee
in a pretty little
musical note mug....


and Orange Juice in a vintage glass.....

(I know you noticed there's no MILK on my cereal...

didn't want it to become soggy during this photo shoot...

just as soon as I snapped the last picture, I poured that mik
and "got with it.")


 What could be better than breakfast in bed with a few
of your new catalogs and the latest issue of a very favorite magazine,
COUNTRY LIVING...?



How fun is THIS....!!??!!

  7. bj- I just love the turquoise you have in your house and that little bed table just beats all. She did a great job on it and I, too, am not all that crazy about heavily distressed pieces. Your bedroom looks beautiful..and the house just keeps getting better and better. xo Diana

  14. I'm loving the color you choose.. you've added just the right amount of it without going overboard.

    I also dont distress what I paint, cause I know in a few months around here, it'll distress itself lol lol

  21. All I can say is Wow! Your bedroom is so beautiful and what a darling daughter to paint the tray for you! I don't know if I could ever leave that room, it looks so sunny and serene:>)

  22. Your bedroom is beautiful to me. I love the colors, and I'm *almost* positive that I *almost* bought that same pillow because I'm putting pops of that color around this place these days. I love it.

    The tray is my favorite part. I want one. Wanted one before reading this, and want it more now.
    I think that might kinda be coveting, but not technically. Coveting would mean that I want YOURS. I technically want one one just like it.

    I'm granting myself absolution on the technicality.

  26. A perfect color well used. Have you had breakfast in bed? It would probably be fun if it was on this pretty table, but that never appealed to me.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Really FUN bj ...
    Your bedroom looks so lovely and love the pretty bed tray. The accent colors are so perfect for you.
    I think I have one of those trays but nobody has offered to bring me breakfast in bed, maybe because it is under the bed ... haha... no, don't really know where it is.

    You seem to be enjoying decorating you new home and you are doing a great job. So fresh and new with the introduction of your new color. Just keep sharing, maybe I will get inspired. Just kinda stuck with how to decorate the mantel right now. Glad to see warmer weather.
    Blessings,

  28. BJ your place is just adorable. Love the turquoise touches. It looks like a model home. Do you really live in it? :) What a nice thing for your daughter to do for you. Breakfast in bed - it doesn't get any better than that!

    ReplyDelete
  29. All your pretty touches look so inviting, BJ...just lovely.

    I just realized the inspiration for your love of turquoise right now...look out the window!!! It is that GORGEOUS turquoise pool that you can see from most of your windows!!! I adore that color & it makes me miss our FL pool. Heck, I'm missing LIVING IN FLORIDA right now!! LOL

  30. Oh that is such a pretty color. The lampshades and the breakfast table are terrific.

  31. BJ...your post title - "Color Me Happy" is perfect for this post. And yes, Hollywood comes to mind now that you mention it. Everything is so bright and cheerful!!!

  32. I love all the turquoise touches. I love the table, and I need to try my hand with the chalk paint. I don't worry too much about the painting, it is using the wax that keeps me from starting! Happy VTT!
