House of Turquoise: Perfect Weekend Retreat

Perfect Weekend Retreat

What a dreamy escape! I've shared the bedroom nook a long time ago on here, but the rest of this showcase cabin created by Country Home for the 2007 Kitchen and Bath Industry Show is just too cute! A lot of charm and function is packed into the 545 square feet, but my favorite feature is still that Scandinavian-inspired bed alcove. Ok maybe that claw-foot tub too! Oh and the blue sink with the pair of sconces designed by Erin Adams! Read all about this home here!

Thanks~

Miranda said...: @Darcie- if you're talking about the kitchen stool, you can get similar ones mostly anywhere; Pottery Barn, Pier One, Overstock.com and even WalMart. They have different tones of woods or you can buy them unfinished and paint or stain them yourself. They are called "saddle" style I believe.; July 8, 2010 at 10:25 AM
Miranda said...: I also love that alcove. It is so peaceful. I makes me want to curl up with a book. Love the elegant comfort.; July 8, 2010 at 10:26 AM

Tricia - Avolli said...: I love that pretty Gustavian chest of drawers with the diamond pattern and canted corners. So charming and perfect for that setting...not to formal but just right.

Anonymous said...: love it. any readers have suggestions for some "purrfect" grays for bedrooms and master baths? grays look so yummy with turquoise, rainwashed, etc. but come with "undertones" which are driving me nuts --; July 8, 2010 at 12:33 PM

Heartfire At Home said...: Oh wow!! Anything with the word 'nook' in it has to be good, and the bedroom is gorgeous. I think the kitchen is my fave though, which is unusual for me.

Jennifer, Inside Out Colour and Design said...: I just love that bath painted turquoise on the inside. Wouldn't it look amazing when you fill it with water and submerge yourself! I would feel like I'm on a tropical island.

Enjoy your weekend.

diane@onlinefabricstore said...: did you know that the bedroom alcove idea was originated by Thomas Jefferson and can be seen at Monticello? What a great idea and how fun to see it used in modern times.

drey said...: thanks so much for this post. my husband, little daughter and i live in a 440 sq ft studio with similar plywood walls but nowhere near this bright and light and i have been dreaming of light and bright homes (we left our light and bright home to be closer to family).

my much younger brother in law was going through a much darker phase then (he built the place).

thanks again.; July 9, 2010 at 7:49 AM
