Orange, Lime and Turquoise Kitchen
Stunning American classic kitchen in white with accent colors in orange, turquoise and lime green. The color pallet and kitchen design was chosen by Melanie Siegel, an illustrator of children’s books. Simple and magical kitchen design:
The catalyst for the entire design, Melanie says, was the backsplash, which features tile she and her husband found and personally installed. “When I saw that tile, I knew that was it,” she says. “It determined everything in the kitchen, and the colors spread throughout the house.” She chose soft gray cabinets and simple white walls to create a subtle contrast to the tile’s mix of hues, which include bright orange, aqua and green.
Melanie is also fond of airy, inviting spaces, which influenced the glass cabinets and open shelving in the kitchen island. “It helps the kitchen look larger, and the glass gives it a nice sparkle,” she says. Though she first planned to use vintage glass with inset chicken wire, she discovered more affordable safety glass—something she says the glass company had never used in a kitchen. “I took a chance, and I’m so happy with it,” says Melanie.

Rustic, Chic, Turquoise
Lovely rustic, chic bedroom in turquoise and grey tones. Photography by Prue Ruscoe.
A roughly painted wall with a decaying ornamental mural lends the real rustic chic element to this bedroom. This is then balanced with some added glamour seen in the crystal chandelier and pretty bedding including various fancy pillows in satin, velvet and with ruffles. The old trunk used as a bedside table brings in some vintage charm.
