<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1095017808_CJaLH-O.jpg" /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks for inviting me to be a guest blogger today Erin! I love visiting House of Turquoise to see what turquoise delights are being featured, it really is one of the happiest and most beautiful colors there are. I am such a fan of this color that is has made its way into many of the rooms in our home, including Isabella's <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/search/label/Girl%27s%20Dream%20Bedroom">Girls Dream Bedroom</a>...No Boys Allowed! Shades of turquoise were used on the walls, headboard, bedding and chair.<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjifDRyMcxy1e0hKAqeOmFD7nOoi3a2s-YwDONnu4Q3saMHuWpBS4qkti3kXh5spwiUn8X33H8yA7w2FuPOq_0Sw0dYh6kvx68bwIJyAaaNFVJGIENszJ5YjROmYcr7XiT84a6Dd92TB_yD/s1600/GirlsDreamBedroom2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1095017625_DE4K4-L.jpg" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>It was also the perfect color to paint a <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/2009/08/girls-dream-bedroom-little-footstool.html">fun little footstool</a>, accented with Rub 'n Buff and covered with a fun fur fabric.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8eawTQ6H3W2wb8GZq25l3KOD0CIdwQjAH2mhqzjLtf7dDsIo3yc2k1MU8foZo4a43YydLgLxNhXPFaWOoUdDOqgqdazRQEL6XQgI6xSTBMjt6fT6CUlBJLAzR-QIcm2F60T_Doxa1-NWk/s1600/Turquoise2.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1095017707_U4ZmH-L.jpg" /><br /></div><br />It is also the color of fabric I selected to use when having a pair of <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/2009/07/transformation-of-auction-chairs.html">slipper chairs</a> reupholstered.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZD8UwJahua-KP1pD3psoA-xiZdoYt7S9mMj2oUV6siF-2ddrDMwvFz2rkJWwtXNGHL90UjjQIsQ1Bgdz3s9VThSs63r1xEG90KkmmgZRkNPYPuXGzkozhEgFfq_ACEm1JnwJDupL5p20_/s1600/Turquoise1.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1095017834_jzatP-L.jpg" /><br /><br /></div>If painting walls or covering chairs in turquoise is too big of a commitment, introducing it into a room through accessories is nearly always a good choice. This <a href="http://isabellaandmaxrooms.blogspot.com/2010/05/wedding-gift-idea.html">tray</a> was painted using SW Watery paint and a favorite geometric design.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8rokcH9gueJgKHwzPdb7eW8rkXsPZ3z8vuGUpydu1eOQFmz-cLxL0elXPAEz2OhA00haVq2NDGzqKeRcQJZS9kC7CxXvmAnK0HU-pstSZVZpNisQX7UOFmZHUp62l7EukGnuVeSl0xXbx/s1600/Turquoise3.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/1095017660_uhgfq-L.jpg" /><br /></div><br />Finally, why not incorporate turquoise into the holiday decor color scheme? Last year I used turquoise ornaments to dress up a wreath, the mantel and staircase banister, and I'm getting ready to pull them out again!<br /><br />Thanks again for having me Erin, and Happy Thanksgiving to all!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*********************<br /></div><span style="font-style: italic;">She's so creative, isn't she? </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Thanks so much Janell!
