I'm sure so many of you have already seen it! When I discovered even more pics, imagine how super excited I was!! Definitely over the top (in a fabulous way!), the turquoise bedroom in the Southern Living Idea House was inspired by the yummy assortment of Designers' Guild fabrics used for the custom duvet cover. Even the ceiling features a faux-finished pattern interpreted from the bedding. Such luxe furnishings here...that mirrored canopy bed is absolutely gorgeous! What a great bathroom too!! Tour more of the Southern Living idea house <a href="http://margaretdonaldsoninteriors.com/the-work/" target="_blank">here</a> (In the City), it has turquoise throughout! <br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

Anna and Thomas Dickinson share the same tradition in their Little Rock, Arkansas home above–in fact the parasol tree topper is from a trip to Hawaii! Such an eclectic approach that I love here, and their white walls are the perfect background for all the color! Aside from the fun holiday decor, I LOVE all of their furniture...especially that turquoise chest in the last image! Turns out Anna co-owns <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/White-Goat/102114923217801" target="_blank">White Goat</a>, a European furniture, accessories and gifts store in Little Rock. The kitchen is pretty darn fabulous too, isn't it?!
