How fun is this retro-inspired kitchen?! The colorful tile from Mercury Mosaics, a company that creates handmade artisan tile right here in Minneapolis, is the perfect finishing touch! (Though you know I'm absolutely in love with the Big Chill appliances!) The checkerboard floor and sunny dining nook definitely add to the laid-back, retro vibe too. It might be small on space, but this kitchen is big on style! For tons more design inspiration, you have to visit Mercury Mosaics' gallery–it's filled with so many awesome spaces featuring their gorgeous handmade tile!

I'm always ready for a virtual escape and this amazing home located on the island of St. Kitts definitely fits the bill! Designed by Herlong & Associates Architecture + Interiors and constructed by Charleston-based Bennett Hofford Construction, the Caribbean retreat (photographed by Meredith Brower and Holger Obenaus) perfectly captures the island’s lifestyle! The kitchen, designed by Signature Kitchens & Baths of Charleston, is one of my favorite spaces...love that curved island with the breakfast banquette on one side! Above everything though I adore how the indoor living areas expand and blend with the outdoor spaces. No better way to take in that incredible view!

Hello House of Turquoise! I’m Kelli Suozzo from BOWERBIRD Interior Design and I’m super excited to be filling in for Erin.
Today I’m sharing a newly completed project for a growing family who after years of city living decided to return to their beachy roots and build their dream home. Just a short walk from the beach, the couple envisioned relaxed and easy living for their family of five that magically expands and is a flurry of action over the summer months!
The entry opens right into the Family Room where immediately symmetry rules. The sculptural Vanguard console is punctuated by turquoise Arteriors lamps on either side offering a just a tease of the colors that will unfold in the rest of the space.
Choosing a calm palate in monochromatic shades of blues to echo the water close by, it was important to introduce texture with the cut velvet club chairs and the oversized custom leather ottoman, which offers a dose of bolder color. The Gray Malin aerial photograph on the far wall speaks to husband’s love of surfing and brings the eye up, carrying the bolder blue through the space.
The kitchen, which is the heart of their home, includes double islands to accommodate loads of summer entertaining. The Urban Electric Chisholm Hall lanterns in their grey/blue patina are really the star here, contrasting and adding depth and richness to the darker grey island cabinets.
A welcoming built in banquette, with perfect pool views is upholstered in a durable blue ostrich vinyl that can stand up to many a kitchen dance party with the kids and their friends! An eclectic mix of custom and off the rack pillows allows this area to double as cozy spot for reading and homework.
Soft shades of grey are a departure from the blues making the Dining Room a serene escape. With all trim and wainscot painted in the same taupe grey as the Phillip Jeffries Rivets wall covering, you truly feel enveloped in color. The metal chandelier highlights the rivets on the walls and gives the space just the right amount of rock and roll edge.
I want to extend a huge thanks to Erin for having me here today. Like all of you, I love checking in for design inspiration and my daily does of turquoise! If you’d like to see more of my work, pop over to my website or check out my adventures on Instagram. - xk Recent Turquoise Finds:

I'm so inspired by this San Carlos, California kitchen designed by Sabrina Alfin Interiors, photographed here by Dean J. Birinyi! With two teenage sons soon going off to college, the clients didn’t want to spend a ton on a full renovation fixing up their dated and gloomy kitchen. Instead they focused on functionality, adding the sliding glass window that faces the backyard to pass food and drinks to the outdoor entertaining area...and a handy countertop bar right outside the window! They also refaced the cabinets and painted them with a two-tone look, switched out a dark granite backsplash with a refreshing white one, added recessed lighting, gorgeous new vintage-style glass pendants, and a fun new custom-upholstered bench cushion! A brand new open and airy kitchen at probably a third of what a totally remodeled kitchen would cost–love it! For another inspiring turquoise-filled project by Sabrina Alfin, go here!

Oh did my ever heart skip a beat when I saw this gorgeous kitchen and family room designed by Leslie Hunt of LLH Interiors! The talented LA-based designer worked with Vanessa McLean of McLean Design + Build to renovate the bright and breezy space, then filled it with layers of soothing sea-inspired blues and greens–the family's favorite colors. I'm not sure what I love more...the aqua sectional with fantastic mix of printed pillows, or the built-in banquette and its fab pillows! I also adore how both rooms are styled, thanks to Hallman Ray and Ashley Vilgiate of Jane Can...! The flowers and stylish coastal accents definitely give the home a relaxed beach-house vibe!

Believe it or not, this Los Angeles, California home used to look more like an Italian villa than a beach bungalow! Interior designer Suzanne Ascher of Waterleaf Interiors was behind the transformation; now light and bright, the home (photographed by Victoria Pearson) is filled with sea-to-sky tones and a laid-back, family-friendly vibe. I adore the blue island and cupboard so much–both painted Irogon Blue by Dunn-Edward! The kids' spaces are great too...love the built-in storage!
