Benjamin Moore: Wythe Blue HC 143". Recently I noticed the folks over at <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=safari&rls=en&q=+site:ths.gardenweb.com+wythe+blue" target="_blank">GardenWeb</a> had a lot to say about the pretty color too:<br /><blockquote>"It's a perfect blue/green IMO and the swatch doesn't do it justice. Especially next to the other colors -- it looks green but on the wall it's anything but."<br /><br />"I swear it's like walking into a spa every time I go in the room. I love it."<br /><br />"I also love Wythe Blue by BM. It is very similar to Quietude, but more saturated. Looks more like a true aqua, but still never baby-ish."<br /><br />"We used BM Wythe Blue in our nursery (for a girl) and I absolutely love it. I can't say enough about how amazing that color is and it's a good blue -- works for a boy or a girl."</blockquote>Get this though...what sealed the deal on my love was a comment I received last week from an in-the-know reader who revealed to me that <span style="font-style: italic;">Wythe Blue</span> is actually the color of the Draper foyer/staircase on Mad Men!! *squeal*<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/988961056_eJXUS-M.png" /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/988960787_86idb-S.png" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/988960713_DMpwR-S.png" /></div><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

Lynn's whole <a href="http://parishotelboutique.blogspot.com/2010/07/giving-credit-where-credit-is-due.html" target="_blank">post</a> is well worth a read and I couldn't agree more with her. It's sad that these amazingly creative people aren't being recognized. So with that being said, here were some of my favorites from that tumblr. Do any of you happen to have any info on any of them??<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Edit- Kristin from </span><a style="font-style: italic;" href="http://kitchenbeautiful.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kitchen Beautiful</a><span style="font-style: italic;"> found us lots more images of the kitchen in the 6th image!

so many pictures today! I started this not realizing how many I'd compiled! Next time I promise I won't wait so long to do a readers' room post! Now...how cool are these?! Isn't it amazing how everyone uses turquoise in a different way? How the different shades look great with different colors, create so many different moods? Above is why I love the color. <span style="font-style: italic;">And why I love you guys.</span> You're all so creative! I wish you all lived around Minneapolis so I could come sit in your homes and enjoy the inspiring spaces you've created. Thank you for sending me your photos...each one truly brings me joy! And with that, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Enjoy! :)</span><br /></div></div>
