Lauren commissioned me to paint a series of watercolours in vibrant turquoise to complement her scheme, and I think the results speak for themselves.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKDHgwSUlUfR9eOJrm6SOK2ppHfQyBfDgNhjcAAtygQQHx4Qmm0_Db7LXUs4l2LpGM9ON50mpKG_VZhjNsF0DbmudepoIbH9PkrKyGYO1ZTRfAreXY9zcvwn6crp5jQv6rtyYguOTfJ2E/s1600/Untitled+picture.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinKDHgwSUlUfR9eOJrm6SOK2ppHfQyBfDgNhjcAAtygQQHx4Qmm0_Db7LXUs4l2LpGM9ON50mpKG_VZhjNsF0DbmudepoIbH9PkrKyGYO1ZTRfAreXY9zcvwn6crp5jQv6rtyYguOTfJ2E/s640/Untitled+picture.png" width="446" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I love Lauren's use of orange  - it really makes the turquoise pop</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIAGvFQEvGn6z6ZDK683EbxlMLAn0_w5YLYNod_0fy-C3dQe2huQ6y2eZ6L-V0AbkHo83iOtfMdWRPg5iKY7q2GdthsGaEiAVh2Lae9k3QmzfWJExvwCde6n2cjb1nrXxr5ITKDtpdteAP/s1600/turquoise+nine+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIAGvFQEvGn6z6ZDK683EbxlMLAn0_w5YLYNod_0fy-C3dQe2huQ6y2eZ6L-V0AbkHo83iOtfMdWRPg5iKY7q2GdthsGaEiAVh2Lae9k3QmzfWJExvwCde6n2cjb1nrXxr5ITKDtpdteAP/s400/turquoise+nine+2.jpg" width="367" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQt4Qniv6e77_fA_3nyFwL5lJwORkyl06hZVCaxIbwZ_A5gjkBZq4GVpL_6tnjU98vbZQnkcNZb43J0w9HZ4SxnyqW0rpSX-CYBUOauupGGZe1iBP5YL6k76-_hRUz-hgzwdTnxjjtUFyc/s1600/Untitled+picture4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQt4Qniv6e77_fA_3nyFwL5lJwORkyl06hZVCaxIbwZ_A5gjkBZq4GVpL_6tnjU98vbZQnkcNZb43J0w9HZ4SxnyqW0rpSX-CYBUOauupGGZe1iBP5YL6k76-_hRUz-hgzwdTnxjjtUFyc/s640/Untitled+picture4.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-gdkgEA9Ru9Yz4tEPwrkmz9Slf8ZrDnwFiQI_NaA-K-7x3yL77eQ5FTjoxTE4d_WCFlT_-zGNmwi-EBJK2uJCB4ZXA_PZympY-DQs9T0sUqULptVD3FQBGO_0kQDU_bw0UXhtv71aTTp/s1600/Untitled+picture3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo-gdkgEA9Ru9Yz4tEPwrkmz9Slf8ZrDnwFiQI_NaA-K-7x3yL77eQ5FTjoxTE4d_WCFlT_-zGNmwi-EBJK2uJCB4ZXA_PZympY-DQs9T0sUqULptVD3FQBGO_0kQDU_bw0UXhtv71aTTp/s640/Untitled+picture3.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVzScn8nWTr8fhwOP7EHi6V4uDnLKchWooFjGC2J4DsqPLYXj60d-Mgdx2HZNvvvmaTp_xsAh_eNir9TBq7FoL0aWsGEl_BRNp1VLiiKSIfFmXB4dVZoc_0l1dCPO2PUkPNkzN7DdHgWn/s1600/Untitled+picture2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJVzScn8nWTr8fhwOP7EHi6V4uDnLKchWooFjGC2J4DsqPLYXj60d-Mgdx2HZNvvvmaTp_xsAh_eNir9TBq7FoL0aWsGEl_BRNp1VLiiKSIfFmXB4dVZoc_0l1dCPO2PUkPNkzN7DdHgWn/s640/Untitled+picture2.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_b8XSHA0tv4XquN9ykMMaLuDk_c6-u5SHEhzWaDW0c9ZoefbWQtU0q1ZeGS_SvKmjhyphenhyphen9E9dG08dnrKVFVBSProg5xEHySdcubwYAunizOChKEuBmk5Ro6IWFhKkCr5pMLbzsLVhTlo51/s1600/Untitled+picture1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn_b8XSHA0tv4XquN9ykMMaLuDk_c6-u5SHEhzWaDW0c9ZoefbWQtU0q1ZeGS_SvKmjhyphenhyphen9E9dG08dnrKVFVBSProg5xEHySdcubwYAunizOChKEuBmk5Ro6IWFhKkCr5pMLbzsLVhTlo51/s640/Untitled+picture1.png" width="446" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">photos courtesy <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">Peter Rymwid </span></span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;">design by Lauren Guarcello, Porter Design Company</span></span></div><br />Lauren has done an amazing job, and I've heard a whisper that this room will soon be featured in a magazine spread.
