Blue window.
The color turquoise. It's EVERYWHERE. People are going crazy for this color-including me! I have decided to do lime green and turquoise in my living room, so my new fireplace mantel addition seems to fit nicely. Awhile back I found several old windows on the side of the road. I was thrilled that I was able to find them for free. People actually pay pretty good money for these things at flea markets. Anyway, I took it home, painted it using acrylic craft paint in turquoise and then sanded it like crazy. It gives a nice pop to the mantel. Not sure if I want to add anything to the mantel or not. Also not sure if I'm set on the dark wood candle holders. I'll give it a couple of days (more like a few hours) to see what I think.

i LOVE it...so cute. your mantel looks great and the paint color on the wall is rockin'.
ReplyDeleteI can't tell where the other lime green and turquoise colors are in the living room. So, I think the blue and dark wood will work well together. Simple design elements and color contrasts are your specialty!
