What a beautiful home! <a href="http://daisypinkcupcake.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Daisy</a> sure has a knack for finding gorgeous images!<br /><br />I am leaving this afternoon for a 10 day vacation to Las Vegas and Arizona. Perfect timing, since we had a big snow storm here in Minneapolis yesterday! I might have a chance here and there to share some turquoise rooms with you, but for the most part I'm going to take a break from the blog. (Things will be auto-posting on <a href="http://www.everythingturquoise.com/" target="_blank">Everything Turquoise</a> several times a day, if you're like me and still need a daily dose of our favorite color!)<br /><br />Have a great weekend everyone! :)

It's such a terrific vintage palette and I have to admit, I love orange. The reason this pretty Florida-orange orange is calming is that it's printed on a natural beige ground instead of white. It tones down the intensity, makes it less bright, less Marimekko, more bedroomy.</blockquote>
