Aqua Attraction


While blue has always been a favourite colour of mine, lately I've been finding myself drawn to shades of aqua and turquoise. I'd love to introduce some of this colour into our house. Here are some images that have recently caught my eye...

    Hi AManda, I love every shade of blue and aqua has always been a favourite. These pics are lovely!
    Re the vegies, I think it is definately time you start thinking about building a small patch. More than half of my dinner tonight came from the garden which feels and tastes great!! x

    Hi Amanda,
    Gorgeous photos - colour reminds me of a certain little "Tiffany" box that girls just love to receive and open!
    Bye for now, Christine

    Love it! I used some turquoise and aqua in my house and I smile every time I walk in the door.

    These are such pretty examples of this color used as an accent. The last photo makes me want to paint my chairs!
