L'Echapper Belle ("The Beautiful Escape") is a breezy beachfront home on Bald Head Island, North Carolina, and it is headed straight to my all-time favorites list! Captured beautifully by photographers Gridley + Graves for a cover story in Beach Cottages magazine, the beach home is awash in soft greens and blues, paired with white and pale woods that keep everything feeling light and airy–perfect for the beach! The homeowner worked with Shelley Thompson of Cottage Chic to outfit much of the home, filling it was comfortable and casual pieces that exude cottage charm. (Those comfy striped chairs are my fav!) So in love with the galley kitchen too. Did you notice how the upper glass-front cabinets repeat the home's window design? Such a great detail! You can read the article about the home here and see even more photos here! I also discovered the home is a vacation rental (woohoo!) so get all of those details here! Get the Look:

When perusing real estate listings, it's not too often you come across a home so bright and cheery! My turquoise-loving reader Nancy shared this Ocean View, Delaware gem with me; 25 Sycamore St. is a Bear Trap Dunes home for sale that's filled with vibrant color and tons of coastal character! You can tell from the pics the homeowner had a blast decorating, and is quite possibly a DIY enthusiast! Love all of the painted and upcycled pieces! The striped wall in the sunroom is super fun too. Possibly the best feature of the home though is the community shuttle right to the beach! Check out the listing and see more pics here!

Spring is in the air! After seeing this lovely terrace belonging to Ewa of the inspiring Polish blog Minty House, I'm even more excited to get our deck back to looking how it did last year! There's just so much colorful coziness here, I love every little inch! From the pile of colorful pillows to the hanging hammock chairs, this is the perfect place to kick back and relax an afternoon away. I totally need a turquoise adirondack chair in my life! See more pics of this outdoor oasis (including what it looked like before) and read all about it here–just hit the translate button! :)

I'll tell you guys this much: my dream kitchen definitely has a turquoise fridge! I'll gladly take the one in this cheery Coronado, California home remodeled by QualCraft Construction and captured by Patricia Bean of Expressive Architectural Photography. The home was originally built in the 1940’s, and the homeowners wanted to maintain its original beach bungalow charm. The interior designer, Dominique Tharp, did a fantastic job replicating period details but still providing modern conveniences. Totally drooling over all of the built-ins, ceilings, and tilework! Love all of the coastal touches too! Learn more about the project right over here!
Speaking of turquoise appliances, there's big news in the turquoise world to report....Big Chill (hello, gorgeous custom-colored fridge above!) just introduced a new standard color in their popular retro line. You guessed it: Turquoise!
I loved what they had to say in their press release:
..."Turquoise is a show-stopping color. It has a dual personality – it’s elegant and sophisticated, but also whimsical and classic, making it a great addition to our Retro Line,” said President and Founder Orion Creamer. “While it is a great addition to our current mid-century palette, turquoise is very much a color for today. People are feeling more upbeat, more confident so lighter, more optimistic colors are making their way back into home interiors,” said Creamer.
Additionally, the new color pays tribute to the 1950’s, the era of inspiration for the Big Chill Retro collection. Turquoise was used widely in midcentury kitchens and in fashion throughout the decade. Retro inspired design, fun colors with all the benefits of modern appliances.
Gotta love turquoise! I'll take one of each please!! :) Go here for more info!
