When I first saw the images on <a href="http://www.birdsofafeatherdesign.com/2012/04/my-favorite-house-tour.html">Birds of a Feather</a>, I literally gasped out loud–repeatedly! Designed by Caroline Beall Bracket of <a href="http://www.cbb-interiors.com/">CBB Interiors</a> out of Charlotte, North Carolina, this beautiful beach home is all about turquoise...beautiful, watery, yummy turquoise! Light and airy, carefree and fun, but practical too (as any beach home should be) considering all of the upholstery is done in white Sunbrella fabric! It's almost as if Caroline entered my subconscious and designed my ultimate dream home! Head on over and visit Hooper and Ann at <a href="http://www.birdsofafeatherdesign.com/2012/04/my-favorite-house-tour.html">Birds of a Feather</a> to see more of this fab-u-lous home!<br /></div></div><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?
