Hi! Try looking up the designer Tracey Rapisardi. She is based in Florida. See how she pairs turquoise and aqua blues with pale greens, flamingo pinks, peaches, citrus colors like orange and yellow and other ocean blues.

I am thinking of some George Nelson pendants (maybe the cigar>?) in lieu of the pot lighting, but I haven't found a great ceiling fixture yet! Hopefully soon!

Love the inspiration! Gives me hope for my small, cathedral-front cabinet kitchen too! What would be your dream lighting for the room?

I do the same thing!Can I be a snoop and follow you? What's your Pinterest name?Your kitchen preferences sound so drool-worthy (love the chalkboard wall idea!).

Shoot! I hate when this happens. I had commented but then had to sign back in to google and don't know if my original comment posted. I apologize in advance if I'm repeating my comment. Yep, I'm on pinterest. I'm addicted and the inspiration just adds to my to-do list. I already follow you on pinterest, back when you first mentioned it in a post.The idea I have for my kitchen is similar to what I have now but with fewer limitations (namely size and a back door- it's too small for an entry). But I love having a chalkboard wall, open shelf and large restaurant-style rack. So, I'd repeat some of that but love so many other styles and ideas out there. The problem becomes keeping it pared down and cohesive. But I do 'love' kitchens- it may be my favourite room to style.

Ooo, sounds stressful!! I hope the interviews go well for him! I wish you'd start a blog, because I'm so curious what style of kitchen you're dreaming of. Hey – are you on Pinterest???Happy to hear the open shelving is good for oft-used pieces. I'm excited to give it a try!

White is LOVELY and such a good choice for the long term. I think I want white in the long run, but turquoise will be fun for right now. Good luck with your painting!! I hope the kitchen turns out beautifully for you.

It's so exciting… but frustrating that you have to wait. My husband is waiting to hear from an interview and has another on thurs. But we've been looking at house in the area online and the plans and renos are buzzing around in my brain with nowhere to go- I haven't even stepped into any of these houses. I can just imagine how it must feel for you. Thanks for all the inspiration photos- I had a look in mind and will have a hard time implementing it in some of the kitchens we've seen. So I appreciate a few other options that I love that can be used in many spaces.Looking forward to seeing what you do. btw- don't know if I mentioned it before but I have open shelves and love it- the less oft used items do get dusty but I find easily remedied with a run through the dishwasher. However I really prefer the daily dishes on the open shelves since it never becomes a problem.

We are on the edge of painting our cabinets. Literally, I should be starting now and yet, I'm on the computer instead. You have some incredible sources of inspiration and although we are doing plain white, I would LOVE the turquoise! So excited that your someday kitchen is almost right around the corner.

I have had the same trouble! For the new house, I'm pairing it with white, grey, and tiny pops of yellow and orange. I've also broadened my turquoise palette to include really rich teal shades. It pairs so nicely with similar hues, but deeper or lighter. I always tried to make red and turquoise work, because I love the combo, but it just wasn't "me". Good luck mixing and matching your turquoise!
