Color Crush-Blue and Green Kitchens

Hello lovely friends, every once and a while I have a color crush somewhat of an increasing love for a certain color and (the color turquoise is among my crush today) but I must say I’m feeling a crush on a color combo in the heart of the home (the Kitchen) no less. Yes as you may have seen on my blog a few times me crushing on a color. You may have also heard me say” if I crushed a lot on one particular color I might just be in love with that particular color”. Well I have got to say, this is such the case with the color combo Turquoise and Green. I’ve been flirting with the color for a long time in fact way before I started this blog. Years ago I challenge myself to get bold and out of my comfort zone and design something different, something that will initially put fear in a person but yet in the end make them trust in the spirit of taking risk. Years back I did it. I took a risk on designing a kitchen in this exact  color combo Turquoise and Green and friends I must say it was a scary adventure but I did it nonetheless. Well without further ado I prowl down some beautiful kitchens in the beautiful color combo Turquoise and Green and I even have that bold and risky kitchen I did for you to see at the bottom of the page too. Take a look!

Beautiful!

I absolutely love this Turquoise and Green Kitchen

This is the start of the Kitchen I've designed years  ago... It's bold and somewhat different at-least its what I thought years ago before I ever seen other rooms decorated in the turquoise and green combo. So without further ado here is the room designed by me a long time ago.  
Here is the kitchen I did below!

I's this bold or what? Turquoise walls, green and brown cabinets and Slate and blue glass tile for the back-splash. I have to confess this was scary!

This kitchen is very retro in style and the colors on the pic's looks more muted on camera. The cabinets were painted brown on the backs and the doors painted green and I'm sure you see the touch of brown rubbed in for that extra touch.

A few shelves were added  over the fan and a new cabinet next to it. In fact this whole side is all new cabinets because of the lack of counter space this was a must.  I had to bring in base cabinet that could rest a counter-top on. Previously there had been a tall cabinet in the same place which left no room for counters or no place to put a microwave.  Although small kitchen trust me the new arrangement proved to be Problem solved! Sorry no before pic's

Back-Splash- I promise you the pictures does no justice for this kitchen or slate and sea blue green back-splash.

The wall treatment was my favorite part of this kitchen. Can you guess what's on the wall? I'll tell you later!

The kitchen didn't have a island before- More counter space was the challenge in this kitchen. Oh I love that the island is not the same color of anything in the kitchen which makes it interesting

I love the picture arrangement and most of all that the photos inside the frames are photos from old recipe books. Easy DIY!

The curtains I love! Aren’t they cute? Well I have a little secrete for you, I couldn’t quite find what I was looking for so I decided to look else ware. Believe it or not those are shower curtains. That’s right (what you hang in bathroom to keep water off the floor). Yup when you can’t find what you’re looking for and your back is against the wall. You have got to get creative.

Here are some of the colors you can find in this kitchen I did long ago. Have you ever heard of Chip-it from Sherwin -Williams Chip It! is an online tool that lets you instantly turn any picture, from any website, into a beautiful palette of Sherwin-Williams paint colors. You can check this cool tool out here

OK before I let you go- remember I asked you to guess what was on the wall? you know  those cute little cubes  at the bottom of the wall,well its scrap-booking paper yup that paper you find at the craft store. Yes this is scrap-booking paper used as wall art. Well that's what I call it. This was my favorite thing  about this kitchen when I did it years ago- The colors blue-green and brown paper. You can't see it by looking at the photo but that paper has little specks of a shining glimmer to it. Not glitter but beautiful shimmer.  Well one day I'll show you how its done but until then thanks for stopping by.

XOXO

Color Crush- Green

Well here I go again Crushing on a color and what color am I crushing on now? That's right the color green but not any green dark vibrant green. Check out these beautiful green interior rooms decors.

 I have to express my feelings about this room. When I first saw this room I knew that I was crushing hard on green. I absolutely love this room check out the green window coverings and that lovely green chair I am in love with this crush!!!

The tufted green sofa is just amazing  I love the color green the sofa is wearing!! This is what I was talking about when I said vibrant green. I just love it

 

The green in this sofa is more like a olive color and I think its beautiful with the beautiful blue and white pillows with the white chair and blue and white pillow this fits right in with my color crush blue and green

WOW!!! is this a burst of the color green!!!!  This room is amazing, one will think this is to much green but as you can see the interior designer knew what he/she were doing when this room was planed. The color is balanced so nicely with just enough of blue in the rug which helps this color work. I am truly crushing on this room. Oh by the way I love the wooden sofa the craftsmanship on it is nothing less than amazing

How cute I know a teenster will love this beautiful room

Now what can I say about this green bath!!! This is a work of art. The designer wasn't afraid to use all the green on the walls and the floors because he/she knew that it will balance once the white was added with the tub and vanity very nice.

What a relaxing space to sit and read a book but how about them green window coverings along with the green wall. What a crush!!!

WOW

Lovely room with the different tones of green stripes. Beautiful!!!

Let’s bring the outside in with this beautiful burst of green forest wallpaper. This room had me crushing all day long. This is very striking!!!

Check it out, Check it out Check it out now!!! Let me clear my throat!!! Is this room gorgeous or what? Normally when you think of flowers on window coverings I'm sure you think of grandma's house but not in this room these flowers are seeing a new day in the living room. I guess what goes around comes back around. Love it

I'm crushed in a good way!!! I love this green in this room 

Check out this sun-porch bringing the outside in with the green walls and the hints of green on the accessories and the green throw.

Making the transition from blue to green has been fun but this is all about the blue and green!! Check it out.

Doesn't need a whole lot of the the green to make it stand out in this room. Even though there are lots of the blue in this room the color green makes a presence with the two modern day Queen Ann Chairs. I'm crushing hard on this beautiful room.

What a good and simple idea with the backdrop of green and blue flowered pattern makes for a beautiful green headboard backdrop and check out the lovely fabric on the end of the bed is this not lovely or what?
