Oh Katie, how bold and beautiful you are!

$18 Deal.

Look at this beauty.....my client found at a local antique store for just $18.00.

This chair found its new home and it is a desk chair in their Kitchen!

What color should it be???........hmmmm...........say Turquoise!

We are trying to keep the antique look of the chair, and to do so we are using 3 different colors of paint, so primer is a must!

Spray it on, let it dry.

Then, Chocolate Brown for depth and dark crevices.

Brush it on, let it dry.

Then our first, lighter shade of turquoise.

Brush it on, but not too thick, we want our brown to show through, let it dry.

Then our last coat, which is a darker shade of turquoise.

Brush it on, again not too thick, let it dry.

Then lightly sand edges to show the lighter shade of turquoise and the chocolate brown to create an antique look!

Next was reupholstering this UGLY seat!

and........TA-DAA!

Turquoise.

Recently interior designers around the world gathered at Market in High Point, North Carolina where they visited showrooms of all different types of manufacturers, from furniture to lighting to accessories and everything in between.  This year all signs pointed to turquoise.  Apparently the color of the season or maybe the year!  I am a huge fan of blue so this made me happy:)  I have found some turquoise inspiration to get this color into your lives and homes!

Everything about this room is totally perfect to me! The elegant curves of the bench and cocktail table are a perfect balance with the rigid black and white stripes on the sofa.  The pink chairs add the perfect "pop" of color.

Like pink, orange is a great color to pair with turquoise.  This bedroom has amazing turquoise paneled walls and the orange tray on the white bed is a great touch.

This turquoise chandelier is the epitomy of a focal point in this mostly all white bedroom.

I love the bohemian flare to this room.  The orange sofa with turquoise accents is amazing with the neutral tones that make up the "base" of this room.  Anybody notice how AMAZING this ceiling is?!?!?!

I WANT THIS OFFICE!  The black and white photo collage on the back wall was the perfect thing to do with a focal point wall that has a funky shape and all of the white furniture really grounds this mostly blue room and makes it modern yet very chic.  White paneled wall, I love you.

To get some turquoise spice in your life I turned to Global Views.
