I'm a blue addict too. These rooms are beautiful, though I'd totally love to see how your bathroom came out! You can never go wrong with shades of blue-green.
Turquoisey? I like it. I love that you spelled colour properly in your title. Ha! I'm painting my bedroom tomorrow. Summer mist, which is a grey-ish blue.
Wow! That room with the violet wall is SO bright and lovely. But I think my favorite is the red chair against the blue wall (two of my all time favorite colors).
that sounds like a perfect mermaids colour for a bathroom. I'm amazed to find a Margaret Mahy book I've never heard of! She is a bonafide National Treasure here. We saw her in the flesh at a children's book festival a couple of weeks ago resplendent in purple glittery wig and flowing gowns signing books looking hale and hearty. Its so cool when you can share books from your childhood with your own kids - the main one i loved that my kids love is Under the Mountain by Maurice Gee (the movie is coming out soon) the story is set and mostly filmed about 10 mins from where i live. Apart from being an incredible book it was the only book i ever remember reading set in my 'hood. It was so cool to read the book, watch the tv series and then take my kids to all the places mentioned and talk about the story. Ok i'll stop now i could rant on about great books and writers from New Zealand for ages. It's a little country packed with talented people!
Very beautiful. I've been thinking a lot about painting different walls in my house or doing something equally artistic. Time and money are minimal, but I have the urge to do something.
what i thought love was is so much less than what it is

Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

"Poetry has nothing to do with poetry. Poetry is how the air goes green before thunder. Is the sound you make when you come, and why you live and how you bleed, and The sound you make or don't make when you die."- Gwendolyn MacEwen

"Her looks fading, the vain Lispector became increasingly reclusive and demanding. Addicted to cigarettes and sleeping pills, she exhibited erratic and sometimes imperious behavior. She would call friends in the middle of the night and flee dinner parties for little apparent reason. She had a reputation for being a liar."-<em>NYT on Clarice Lispector
My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush
Shades of bluegreen are my favorite colors!

I love all those colors, especially the second one.

Grue?
Bley?
I love these photos. I love pictures that make me want to crawl inside them and spend time there.
Now I want to redecorate my house.
Love all those. And I want a turquoisey mini-cooper.
My kitchen is that seafoam green. It is so peaceful, even with all the aprons and stuff hanging on the walls.
I'm about to paint my bedroom turquoisy - all because I fell in love with a pair of curtains and had to have them.
Great blog - I love the words under the title.
I'm in favour of colour! I want real pics! It must be gorgeous.
Turqouisey? Totally a word.
Love these colourful images! I recognise the Rice and Toast catalogues there!

turquoisy love it! xoxo
Great interior pics! Turquois-ey bathroom sounds awesome! Love the new word too!!
Love it,its my fav color!
Wow! That room with the violet wall is SO bright and lovely. But I think my favorite is the red chair against the blue wall (two of my all time favorite colors).
Great photos! A turquoise-y is a great color!
I painted my dining room turquoisey!! I love it too! Reddish/orange chairs.
You've read the Domino book, right? Of course you have. I want to eat that book.

Painting always makes such a huge difference to a house. I'm sitting next to my turquoisy wall, which I chose and my husband still doesn't like.
blues and greens, i just love them so! turquoisey - a great new word, you should contact webster's or oxford dictionary! Hx
That purple room is so pretty! It makes me want to brighten up my apartment. If only my landlord would let me paint...
LOVE color!!!
