Download aesthetic iphone Wallpapers Hello everyone! My name is Emily and I blog over at Our house now a home where I share all about my home, creating a space that works for my family of 5, and helping others find and create a dream space for their home. I like to celebrate all homes. I enjoy creating new pieces, up-cycling, and anything DIY. I am so excited that Erin is letting me guest post. I have been a fan for a long
Turquoise Interior Design IdeasLet's be simple and get to the point? We all come to House of Turquoise because we're addicted to turquoise interiors and let's face it, no one shows them better than Erin, right?When Erin, a friend of mine for years now, asked to prepare a post for this blog, I knew I would enjoy every second of it, not only because I adore this place just as much as you do, but
It was a little over a year ago that my family and I spent a week on Tybee Island (remember where we stayed...ahhh!). While we were there I had an opportunity to tour Cottage on the Green, this absolutely delightful cottage designed by Jane Coslick! I sure wish my photos did it justice, nothing really captures the joy I felt right after I stepped in the door! Something about Jane's designs
The light flowing through this beautiful home in Spain designed by Cristina Mateus of Atmósfera Reformas e Interiorismo could not be any more beautiful! I am so in love with the family room here. Those big doors that open right up into the garden, the cozy layers of texture, cheery pops of color, built-in shelves...it's all so beautiful! Love how they added the neat window in the kitchen to bring
I can't even fathom having a view like that! Interior designer Cynthia Collins of the Dallas-based firm Collins Interiors and Cronk Duch Architecture made sure the jaw-dropping ocean view took center stage in this incredible Ponte Vedra, Florida home. It's light and bright, filled with great texture and fun pops of color–including beautiful splashes of blue to complement the picturesque
Not only is the outside of this home picture perfect (and in the most idyllic Cape Cod setting!), the blue-infused interior spaces are beautiful too! I knew right when I saw it that it had to be from Polhemus Savery DaSilva Architects Builders, and I was right, they designed and built the incredible home! I love those turquoise board shutters with the starfish cutouts SO much! (They're painted
I hope you all enjoyed touring this amazing home all week! I don't think anything could have topped it off quite like an indoor pool! Interior designer Lindy Allen of Four Chairs Furniture and the builder Davies Development proved that beautiful design can go hand in hand with functionality and family fun. Although grand (nearly 14,000 sq ft!), the home still manages to feel comfortable, livable
If I was driving around Nags Head, NC, you can bet I'd stop and take a photo of this cheery turquoise cottage! How fun that we get to actually tour the inside! The Tale of a Mermaid was built around 1953, but received a total renovation a few years back. I love that they kept all the original charm while adding some modern comforts! The cottage's decor definitely reflects its location...the beach
With stunning views of Lake Erie right outside the window, this waterside cottage designed by  Natalie Hodgins and Kate Stuart of Sarah Richardson Design has all the charm of an older home, despite it being brand new! No doubt the view inspired the summery color palette. Love all the blues and greens! So many great vintage pieces throughout give the home such a lived-in, collected look, as
What a cute little hideaway! Denise Sabia, the designer, DIYer and blogger behind The Painted Home, turned her Philadelphia garage into an extra hangout space (aka. a "she shed" or "mom cave") over the course of just one weekend. After spending a day clearing everything out, she decorated the space entirely with extras she had lying around her house! So many creative ideas here like the dresser
I can't imagine anything more beautiful to admire on a Monday morning! This slice of turquoise paradise comes from Kate Jackson, a Rhode Island interior designer whose work I have admired for a very long time! Photographed by Nat Rea, this shingle-style beach house located in Providence ranks right up there with one of my most favorite homes of all time. All of the varying shades of blue layered
A couple years ago I posted one of my favorite home tours, a fabulous Montgomery, Alabama home belonging to the super creative and awesomely talented Ashley and Jamin Mills–writers of one of my very favorite blogs The Handmade Home. In the last two years they've made so many fun changes to their home I thought it was about time we took another tour! The master bedroom and bathroom saw the biggest
Just popping in to wish you all here in the US a fantastic 4th of July weekend! We are still up in northern Minnesota at the cabin, but I've been saving these pictures for so long, knowing they'd be perfect to share for the fourth! This adorable coastal home is in Seabrook, Washington...and from the looks of it, the picturesque community has one heck of an old-fashioned Independence Day
Summers go by so quickly here in Minnesota, it's really a shame to have such a great outdoor area and not put it to good use! After we had a new sliding door installed this spring (one that actually opens!), we were more determined than ever to fix up our deck! We already had the super comfy outdoor sofa sitting in our basement (an outlet score from a few years ago) and the white dining table/
I was browsing the June issue of HGTV magazine when I came across this lovely home belonging to Katie and Jeff Bullard of Avenue B Development of Austin, Texas. It seemed a little bit familiar...turns out I featured it last year! I hardly recognized it all dolled up by stylist Kate Jordan with beautiful photography by Kim Cornelison! The home was built in 1927, but after a gut reno by the
After Hurricane Sandy completely demolished this family's beloved beach shack in 2012, they turned to Caldwell & Johnson to rebuild their Rhode Island vacation home. Using sustainable building materials and practices, the full-service design-build firm created a new home–one not only built to last, but energy efficient as well. Interior designer Lorine Foley of Lorine Design Services gave the
I could spend all day taking in this incredible Florida home by Stofft Cooney Architects (photographed by Lori Hamilton), it's bursting with stunning architectural details! BCB Homes, a Naples-based custom home builder, brought the dream to reality along with AlliKristé, who designed the kitchen and fabulous custom cabinets throughout. I'm not sure what I love more, the bar or the banquette, both
Just a real quick post to wish you all a wonderful Memorial Day weekend here in the US! This is an old image from Pottery Barn, but I thought it was fitting for today. We're headed off for a camping trip (first time with the little guy!) so I'll see you guys back here on Tuesday!  :) Love turquoise?
