I love to accessorize myself and my rooms with the colour turquoise in the summer months.
Here's my little 'ode to summer' in our porch....

Check out this turquoise 'accessory' in this great cottage...

That takes some serious commitment to turquoise, but here is a version of just two pieces that bring a room to life:

Turquoise is a natural choice in rooms where water and cleanliness are key - like bathrooms...

And kitchens...

Did you know there's an entire website devoted to decorating with the colour turquoise? Check out House of Turquoise for wonderful inspiration. She has rooms shots divided into categories (ie. 260 turquoise bedrooms) - amazing!

You can also shop for anything turquoise, including jewellery, clothes, accessories, on a site called: decorbycolour.com . Just move your mouse over the squares of colour on the home page and you'll find on block called "everything turquoise" featuring things like these great towels:

Turquoise looks great mixed with other colours - like Green...

Even Olive Green works with turquoise...

Or Orange!

And of course Red looks amazing with turquoise.

Tiffany blue is super hot right now in the colour world.

It's a fun colour to use in an unexpected place.

I'm always attracted to turquoise coloured Glass. Either refined, like this...

Or casual/country, like this...

Or just bloody gorgeous, like this...

Or this...

Wouldn't it be great if we could all enjoy this kind of turquoise this summer...

Or this?

Our water may be dark blue in Canada, but in the summertime, turquoise is a state of mind ; ) .
