The layers of beachy blues and weathered driftwood grays (with a hint of aqua too!) are perfect for the waterfront location. I'm absolutely loving the open kitchen with its fab turquoise island, all the comfy furniture, and the impressive architectural details throughout!

It just happens to be one of my all-time favorite projects by <a href="http://www.phoebehoward.net/home.aspx" target="_blank">Phoebe Howard</a>, photographed here by Erica George Dines. The green and blue color palette combined with the perfect amount of neutrals keeps things bright and breezy, not to mention comfortable and inviting. Speaking of comfortable...I'm drooling over that fabulous turquoise sectional from <a href="http://www.hickorychair.com/" target="_blank">Hickory Chair</a>!

Vanessa Grider threw her friends a surprise thank-you luncheon to show her gratitude after going through a particularly rough year. I am in love with every single detail! Turquoise and pink were our wedding colors–and pink peonies our flower of choice, so of course I am particularity partial! The painted chairs are lovely, what great way to revamp mismatched chairs! And I know it's not home decor, but that turquoise cake?? Gorgeous!

Get this...she only spent $40! (Turns out she had a lot of extra stuff in her attic and craft cupboard..I love it!) The results are delightful! The wall color is perfect (she added <i>a lot </i>of white paint to Crayola's Talkative Turquoise), the shabby chic furniture and accessories are beautiful, and her original wall art is priceless!

Christi Barbour and Christi Spangle of <a href="http://barbourspangle.com/" target="_blank">Barbour Spangle Design</a> out of High Point, North Carolina gave a dated dining room a major makeover to create this sophisticated, adult (and kid!) friendly environment...from wine to grape juice, it all had to work. I am loving the chairs! They are actually covered in a vinyl that looks like leather, and the fab accent fabric is kept on the back–away from dirty hands! Another fun touch that I love is the artwork by the homeowners' children, "commissioned" by the designers! So cute! I know you guys will <i>love</i> the kitchen in this home too (and their other great projects!), so check it all out <a href="http://barbourspangle.com/portfolio-residential/perfect-harmony/" target="_blank">here</a>!! <br /><br /><blockquote class="tr_bq"><b>Sources</b><br />Chairs: Custom by Barbour Spangle<br />Fabric: Back by Clarke & Clarke and Inside by Scott Fabric<br />Dining Table: Hickory Chair<br />Wall color: Pratt & Lambert 32-26 Gossamer<br />Trim color: Sherwin Williams Dover White<br />Ceiling color: Pratt & Lambert 22-16 Whirlpool Blue<br />Mirror Cabinet: Julian Chichester<br />Lighting: Arteriors<br />Sideboard: Vanguard Furniture<br />Window treatments: Custom by Barbour Spangle<br />Four pieces of artwork flanking Julian Chichester mirror cabinet: By homeowners children, custom framed<br />Sideboard accessories: Arteriors<br />Sideboard lamps: Visual Comfort</blockquote><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?
