I actually found these images on the <a href="http://rstyle.me/n/jiaiissxw" target="_blank">Pottery Barn</a> website, so anything you see here is probably for sale. Hint hint Chris. ;)<br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Love turquoise?

I'm a longtime fan of Tracey's work and was excited to learn that this is actually <i>her</i> own home, designed to be casual, carefree and fun! I adore the light, airy vibe and pastel hues throughout! It's beachy and laid-back, yet so darn pretty too! You can read all about the home and see more photos taken by Tracey Rapisardi and Kindra Clineff over at <a href="http://www.cottagesandbungalowsmag.com/Seaside_Style_2014/#72" target="_blank">Seaside Style</a> magazine! And see more posts I've done featuring Tracey's work <a href="http://www.houseofturquoise.com/search?q=Tracey+Rapisardi" target="_blank">here</a>!<br /><br /><br />Before I sign off for the holiday weekend, I wanted to share Wesley's 9-month photo with you all! He has been sick with a virus the last week (his first one! so sad!) but was still all smiles! Since last month, his first two teeth arrived <i>and</i> he learned to crawl! Exciting month for us! <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmEKbhrOcCRzLMMPLwCA1K_1r_m5CJzwvRpCWtc-nogeTjSY87IZKlnIzZ5YJOP6cAY72UVyH7rKdAKcl1A9a_EaORCMtto31WMiNsXJqLztdNfmjaWICdDCYfDIMs7K7kC_I1qJQjZW1/s1600/Wesley+9+months+500.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRmEKbhrOcCRzLMMPLwCA1K_1r_m5CJzwvRpCWtc-nogeTjSY87IZKlnIzZ5YJOP6cAY72UVyH7rKdAKcl1A9a_EaORCMtto31WMiNsXJqLztdNfmjaWICdDCYfDIMs7K7kC_I1qJQjZW1/s1600/Wesley+9+months+500.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEo9Fg1VmXCJiISxufbRCww9ZRYLqI55BctMrvmXE1_uHfry9f56x6WEYAzdPOe4Nfbcdwa6FiGTdle_gCefkQ7jhqX47ukFGGnqHrwy4hwtvmwFw_oiFirUUOU9xlGYm24p9vsg3WeyQr/s1600/WAM+8+months+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="209" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEo9Fg1VmXCJiISxufbRCww9ZRYLqI55BctMrvmXE1_uHfry9f56x6WEYAzdPOe4Nfbcdwa6FiGTdle_gCefkQ7jhqX47ukFGGnqHrwy4hwtvmwFw_oiFirUUOU9xlGYm24p9vsg3WeyQr/s1600/WAM+8+months+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(click to view larger)</span></div><br />Have a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend!!
