Turquoise is such a fabulous, calming color. Inspired by this amazing turquoise chandelier featured in Elle Decor I set out to discover a few other lovely options.
The gorgeous Elle Decor basket beaded turquoise chandelier.
The Regina Andrew Beaded Turquoise Chandelier using real turquoise beads.
The Catalonia Chandelier Shine by S.H.O, lacquered in turquoise.
For those diy folks you can find a great tutorial over at Gus and Lula teaching you how to create this turquoise beaded chandelier.
Gorgeous classic California Monterey Colonial dwelling enlivened with bold color a striking restoration created by la interior designer Helga M. Weiss.
Gorgeous blue and white chinoiserie filled dining room in the garage of Sally Swing’s Berkley Cottage featured in House Beautiful. I love this type of ambience, this type of kookiness mixed with vintage finds and loads of personality.
Blue and white chinoiserie, gifts from friends mixed with flea-market finds, defines the look Sally Swing envisioned. Like everything else, the dining tables and chairs — from her mother — got a wash of white enamel. Only the buffet was left unpainted to add visual weight to the room.
The one-car garage turned dining room opens onto a fenced courtyard. A stone path leads to the main house.
“Medium old” antique plates printed with a Blue Willow pattern are all part of the mix of dinnerware Sally displays with her linens in a glass-doored cabinet, which was made for a beloved uncle in China. He also purchased the 1940s blue stemware — at Woolworth’s in downtown San Francisco.
A dragonfly-patterned teacup is combined with vintage Ralph Lauren salad plates, a Danish stoneware dinner plate, and flea-market Chinese flatware.
China, the cat, sits on a painted chair covered in Ming fabric from Manuel Canovas. Mirrors bring in the light.
The beautiful Schöneberg, Berlin apartment of photographer Magnus Reed. This apartment has a very cool vibe, a simple, reduced, masculine atmosphere. Very charming with stunning parquet floors and rustic walls.
I am Pandora. A lover of interior design, decorating, homes, gardens and all things stylish!
I have been studying interior design as a side project for a few years on and off and decided to make this blog where I jot down my ideas and inspirations in the hopes that they will help or inspire others.
I am particularly in love with devising new color schemes an will try to add some of that here too.
This home and decorating site is a work in progress for me so come back often to see new ideas!
