Kamrooz Aram - Untitled, 2010
With a busy week of installing a room at the Designer Showhouse of Westchester and putting the finishing touches on our table for the Red & White Ball for the Greenwich Chapter of the American Red Cross, the effects of our recent surprise trip to Florida have quickly worn off… Why is it that as soon as you’re back from an adventure, you’re craving another? Perhaps that’s why the combination of turquoise and gold (think sand, sun and sea!) has us yearning for summer fun!

I always think of summer stripes in maritime blue or red and red white and blue for a patriotic summer, memorial day, fourth of july….
A wonderful fresh combination indeed! And love the beautiful offices – what a pleasure it would be to work in either of those!!
You really are so busy these days! Loving these images, vicarious visual perfection!
You now I love that desk in “Sitting Pretty”! I am loving turquoise right now!
Thinking of you as I know you are super busy right now!!!!

Dreaming of blue skies and cool breezes – take me away! Wouldn’t it be grand to have a view like the Missoni Hotel outside your window every day?!

I LOVE blue and gold together but I’ve never thought of turquoise and gold … but it looks absolutely gorgeous! Love that second pic & the big art installation on the back wall. Very dramatic.
I’m painting one wall in my living room robin’s egg blue in a high gloss so that would be my summer inspirational color of the moment! (& one of these days you’ll have to show pictures of your aunt’s french villa!)
I love turquoise and gold together in fact going to a black tie next weekend and my gown in turquoise and I wearing gold jewelry and gold strappy sandals and might I say its quite pretty together! Gorgeous combination in decor as well! That third and last picture are both beautiful..that last picture is very much how I would love my own home office to look..so soothing and inviting, very condusive to a great work space! All fabulous!
Anything with blue and cream in it sounds really good right now. So ready for sun, sand and water. Can’t wait to see pics from your Designer House project. It’s a lot of work and pressure too. I know it’s fab!!!!
I love that second photo! I’d be such a happy girl to have an office like that someday.
The third image is the inspiration picture I’ve been using for my home office. Thanks for sharing other beautiful images!
Best,

In January I announced that cobalt blue is going to be my color of the year 2011. I love cobalt with crisp white and I can’t seem to get enough of it. I also like adding a pop of pink with cobalt in beautiful pink flowers. Now that is perfection to me!!! Kathysue
Turquoise and gold are my favorite summer combination! Love it in costume jewelry for the season and in interior spaces year round.
You really are busy! These blues are beautiful! I already pinned that last image!
Love the wall sculpture.
