Chocolate and Turquoise revisted- Etsy shopping
My chocolate and turquoise post was one of my most popular in the last few months. So, I thought I would revisit the color combo with new Etsy shopping items!
Clockwise from the top:
Fern pillow ($16.99 +SH), Hand painted platter ($145.00 +SH), Flower pillow ($34.99 +SH), Woven basket ($58.00 +SH), Hand turned wood vessel ($195.00 +SH), Alligator embossed leather ($5.99 +SH), Mosaic mirror ($200 +SH), Vintage sugar bowl ($12.95 +SH)
The alligator leather would be great added to a picture frame, the base of a tray, or to re-line a wood box!

A Pink and Orange summer
Pink Grapefruit, Tangerines, Pink Lemonade, Blood Oranges- the new citrus- pink and orange
The colors of citrus is typically yellow, orange and lime green. I want a refresh on citrus! Let's let go of the 1970's Sprite commercial for li-mon and bring in the fresh hues of Summery Pink and Sunshine Orange. Here is a few of my picks for these combinations from my favorite online shop for handmade items- Etsy.com as well as some ideas on incorporating the colors in your space!
I would have loved the above room as my college dorm room! Function, fun and good storage!

Neutral no more- adding color to your home interiors- part 2
The second part of my adding color to a neutral interior space address a family room/den area. (To see part one of the series click here). In this typical neutral cream to taupe space, I have chosen complimentary colors to accent the space in blue and red-orange. As in the previous space, I have used olioboard.com to create the space. This color palette can take a room to an Americana space, Eastern influenced space, or can go quite modern. I have gone with a hybrid of Eastern and Americana.
With the simple addition of changing the accent pieces I have taken the ivory walls, sisal rug and cream sofa to a brighter, polished finish with blue wing back chairs, on trend patterned pillows with blue and white, tones of orange red in the lamp bases and a bronze Brown cut work bowl with a blue lining. Could this space go further to add color? Surely, but for the color timid, this is a great start by adding small changeable color pieces and practically neutral blue chairs.
If you are interested in any of the item's on this board, I would love to tell you more about them! Simply drop me an email at LaurlSelf@gmail.com, I would love to hear from you.

Playin' Hookie
Summer is the perfect time to play hookie! How else will you hang up all those beach towels, straw handbags and for all you Austen-ite those flowers and herbs you're drying?
Here is a selecting of fun hooks I found on Etsy- the best place for handmade and one of a kind items... then again I am rather partial having a few stores there myself!
As you can see, hooks can make a statement whether something is on them, or not! They can express a theme like lodge style with antler hooks, or nautical with the anchor hook, without being overt. Rooms are best when they are layered, like people. A cottage chic room, can also be a white room and a nautical room or a cottage chic girls lodge! The forks can be cottage chic kitchen, cottage chic folk art dining room. Or, they can add the whimsy to a formal room with out loosing the formality, since they are silver. Once you have the bog picture of a space with wall colors and furnishings, then you can look to specifically chosen details that relate to the big picture, but add a secondary and tertiaries layer, dare I say theme, to a space.

| This gem is from the Shabby Shak, and perfect for the beach house, boy's bedroom, or sun porch! |
 |
| I love the humor of an antler hook! This set, from the door stop, is actually cast iron, not real antlers. |
 |
| Though silverware as hooks are not a new idea, these are particularly well done! From jjevensen, this set comes if a variety of silverware patterns! |
 |
| Honoring the artistry of the blacksmith, this hand forged hook from SemiosisForge is only $15! |

Chocolate Turquoise- accessories for your home
Turquoise and chocolate are one of my favorite combinations, as you can see from a previous post on the Turquoise and chocolate home office. I've decided to bring the concept of the office down to the smalls of a space, the accessories, boxes and storage options. Storage is always an issue, here are some great way to add this great combination to your home! You can click on any of the link to take you to the page related to this item!

| Beautiful wooden box with turquoise inlay by Sal's Wood Turning on Etsy. Visually about the size of a dollar bill, but so much more with texture and color. Great for storing calculators and note pads in your living space or jewelery in your personal space. |
 |
| Diamond Garden Stool from One King's Lane is a great option for updating both and indoor or an outdoor space. Garden Stools are great as a stool or with a glass top to a small table! |
 |
| FolkloreLove on Etsy brings us this fantastic chocolate, ivory and turquoise kilim pillow. Tribal patterns are hot this year! Pillows are easy ways to update your tool! |
 |
| Storage big and Small! I love this kind of storage for the ability to truly sort your items, by color, shape, numerical value, what ever. If it is small and sortable, it will fit in this large antique apothecary chest by OliverPoodle on Etsy. |
 |
| Embroidered Suzani pillow from Pottery Barn. The cream background makes this totally blend with your neutral home! |
