These images I spotted over at <span class="entry-source-title-parent"><a class="entry-source-title" href="http://www.google.com/reader/view/feed/http%3A%2F%2Fodietamoblog.blogspot.com%2Ffeeds%2Fposts%2Fdefault" target="_blank">Odi et Amo</a></span> are of no exception.

I recently posted garden stools just like those over on <a href="http://www.everythingturquoise.com/2009/10/round-open-work-garden-stool.html">Everything Turquoise</a>...I LOVE how they're used here. Now I really want one (ok...two!) for myself!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Edit: If you love the pillows as much as I do, check out my friend Liz of <a href="http://shorelychic.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shorely Chic's</a> etsy shop <a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=42914295" target="_blank">here</a>!

Among so many things, Chris must be thanked for endlessly enduring all of my shirt-tugging topped off with "look at that turquoise ___!" He's so great, you'd just love him! Here's a picture of him in the Canadian Rockies. Wearing a turquoise shirt. <span style="font-style: italic;">That I did NOT buy for him</span>. We're a perfect match in every way! :)<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cptnrin.smugmug.com/photos/811567705_7TNmL-L.jpg" /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 204, 204);">Happy Birthday, Chris!</span><br /></div>

I love how she used the beautiful Casamance London wallpaper on only a portion of the wall, and brought in more of the aqua with accessories. The color makes such an impact on the neutral background. Noemi also has a blog called <a href="http://www.kedvencotthon.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Kedvenc Otthon</a> (written in Hungarian), but it's filled with beautiful images worth taking a peek at!
