Turquoise Doors
I was inspired this morning by the soft turquoise color of the ocean as I looked out my window.
Turquoise is such a beautiful color. Coastal homes have always enjoyed and used it for entry doors. Any Caribbean island you go to will have homes with beautiful turquoise painted shutters and doors. But it is not limited to island architecture. The French and Irish have also used bright turquoise to distinguish their entry homes for centuries. In Morocco and India it has been a popular color too. So don't be color shy. Try using some turquoise in your world.
If you love turquoise as much as I do and you want more of it, you might enjoy the blog "House of Turquoise" dedicated entirely to the color.

So true.... and that is such a truly inspiring "turquoise" you look at every morning where you live! It's like the ocean there made a cluster of the most beautiful gems...

These entry doors are lovely, especially their colors. Classic and elegant, design-wise. And the details are so artistic. I have a an entry door which I purchased here, http://www.dooremporium.com/Cat/UniqueEntryDoors/3.aspx. Since it is unfinished, I was thinking if I can paint it turquoise as well. maybe it'll look great!
