my happy color

{DecorPad}

i've been thinking about painting our guest room turquoise for quite awhile, and i'm now 100% sure that it will indeed be turquoise. i love this color sooo much, and it just makes me happy every time i see it.  turquoise looks great with black & white {which happens to be the two main colors throughout our house}, and to my surprise, it works well with cherry red, as seen HERE.
