The turquoise ceramic backsplash tiles are absolutely to-die-for, as is the 10-foot turquoise island. The hardware and kitchen sink too....absolutely gorgeous. Love!! Have a fun Halloween weekend everyone! :)

Ok so there is arguably not a whole lot of turquoise going on in these gorgeous rooms in St Martin de Ré, France taken by photographer Jordi Canosa, but the small touches of blue look so yummy with all the purples and grays I couldn't help but share!…

A Plus!

I love the pale shade of aqua on the wall and on sofa paired up with the chic black and white. The pillows on the bed are such a cute touch, and I just love those window treatments and zebra rug. Way cool headboard too. What a great room! via Home Sweet Home…
