My absolute favorite thing about the space is the furniture. The slipcovered sofa and all the lovely pieces covered in Windsor Smith’s seafoam <a href="http://wshcollection.com/Shop/Product/patterns/windsor-smith-riad.html?Id=822" target="_blank">Riad</a> fabric are truly exquisite! I adore the natural element of the burlap, seagrass, and bamboo too. <span style="font-style: italic;">And</span> the aqua walls (Makaha by Pratt and Lambert)...of course. I can't wait to see even more of the room...stay tuned to her <a href="http://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">blog</a> because soon she'll be sharing the dining room and kitchen. Until then, read all about this amazing room and see more picture of it <a href="http://cotedetexas.blogspot.com/2010/03/webb-design-albans-house.html" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br />Before you leave, I want to direct you over to <a href="http://www.colorhealingradio.com/" target="_blank">Color Healing Radio</a> where I had the pleasure of being interviewed by color therapist <a href="http://colorhealing.ning.com/profile/EleyneAustenSharp" target="_blank">Eleyne Austen Sharp</a>. It was my first ever radio interview, so I was super nervous! But Eleyne has to be one of the nicest, most genuine people I've met. We talked color for a half an hour on her online radio show <span style="font-style: italic;">Luminaries</span>, which will air on Saturday, March 13 at 3PM EST. It will be available to listen to or download <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/colortherapy" target="_blank">here</a> at any point afterward though, so feel free to check it out any time! Let me know what you think! :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/colortherapy" target="_blank"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/807968551_bzbfN-S.jpg" /></a><br /></div>

I can't get over it!<br /><br />Seriously though, if you like blue/turquoise even a little bit, you're going to drool endlessly over this issue. It's jam-packed with so much eye-candy I can hardly stand it. Not only that, but I know many of you will appreciate the color section where they go over which blue paint colors designers use the most. All those yummy paint swatches are making me crazy to get out of my rental! If you're even thinking about painting, definitely grab this issue.<br /><br />Last but not least, that stunning cover features a room designed by none other than <a href="http://tobifairley.com/" target="_blank">Tobi Fairley</a>. If that image alone won't entice you to check out this blue issue, I don't know what will! Maybe the fact that her project received a 10-page feature inside?! Here's a sneak peak I took off her <a href="http://tobifairley.com/blog/2010/day-2-of-things-i-lovehouse-beautiful/" target="_blank">blog</a>. I know how much you all love the <a href="http://www.marjorieskourasdesign.com/product6-1.html" target="_blank">Marjorie Skouras chandelier</a>!<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/780534965_oPCs4-O.jpg" /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">So thanks for the mention, Stephen Drucker! Rest assured the first thing I'm doing when I visit Paris is heading over to rue Jacob to check out that <a href="http://littleaugury.blogspot.com/2009/05/grand-mere-grand-madeleine.html" target="_blank">shop</a>!
