Cool Inspiration for a Hot Summer Day

When the mercury's throbbing in the thermometer and you dare not go barefoot, it's hard not to want to splash aqua and white paint on everything in sight!  Here's some fresh cool inspiration to take your mind off the heat:

painted furniture lifts the spirit
vintage bottles and photographs make a breezy vingnette
if you must have a seat...The Madeline Chair
a big idea for collectors of small things



in other words...Gone Fishin'!
Going somewhere? Don't forget these...
lovely to look at

these vintage-style bowls scream for ice cream

  7. I loooooove aqua! I have a similar bookcase in my living room that I painted myself..I think it used to be a wardrobe but I bought it at a farm auction and they had added shelves and it was holding dairy cow medicines. It now has a pale cream interior and crackly aqua paint and holds my cream and aqua McCoy vases. Aqua apothecary bottles are always a win! Great post!
