Stately Homes by the Sea - the room reveal at last!

Back in May, I posted about the <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2011/05/stately-homes-by-sea.html">Stately Homes by the Sea Showhouse</a>. At last, I can now show you photos of the room that Lauren Guarcello of <a href="http://porterdesigncompany.com/">Porter Design Company</a> put together, and what a job she's done. 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/AVvXsEiCo8-FyRmAUrBbVXzacWivgT-G40QvA9RKpUcTQAqKClTcTydHL9oACmQAO4os0zwXlo6ghrn3OgwJQi90BMCzGxKtNJq36MHQNGdew34undgdLrg6E0gktceXRwen1Km1PoWIrzsemqtv/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/AVvXsEiCo8-FyRmAUrBbVXzacWivgT-G40QvA9RKpUcTQAqKClTcTydHL9oACmQAO4os0zwXlo6ghrn3OgwJQi90BMCzGxKtNJq36MHQNGdew34undgdLrg6E0gktceXRwen1Km1PoWIrzsemqtv/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/AVvXsEgYZAnKWd5FZa_1hqyvMHJaLE4votAcIMFqU9TqA3bqYUd2u5HmAZMfLYwrpg66jGlBV_VkIqcxnreOXs96CHduFYUxCSEztnNUGJXlXaplL3IIdHT-iuIAWJa2hFpMU_nbCHhfG8WatfYv/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/AVvXsEgYZAnKWd5FZa_1hqyvMHJaLE4votAcIMFqU9TqA3bqYUd2u5HmAZMfLYwrpg66jGlBV_VkIqcxnreOXs96CHduFYUxCSEztnNUGJXlXaplL3IIdHT-iuIAWJa2hFpMU_nbCHhfG8WatfYv/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/AVvXsEhavNOR1DStHS48zqQk4DyBFgVDQHCvWajYlvYnBWWTbQZDeu34chTZs2ZoYp6xMJcYncLEd1SJG9pBWnjDT9i8zapj4GPs7gZgplQSbNDpvMc1T5zej7vg8K3SGbePntyRGXe8tNpEUIKS/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/AVvXsEhavNOR1DStHS48zqQk4DyBFgVDQHCvWajYlvYnBWWTbQZDeu34chTZs2ZoYp6xMJcYncLEd1SJG9pBWnjDT9i8zapj4GPs7gZgplQSbNDpvMc1T5zej7vg8K3SGbePntyRGXe8tNpEUIKS/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/AVvXsEhZOpkq5e2IC2mCQz2Tfea0EHe_fsILarfF5IZFa9DbBaI6rCHxaViQIrLmWnZrGevIUyXxTwyYqOXfvQD4JvVeMB2hx1kv-jQo4HpKcDDKC-HZUpgOhs31CptnGImsKEXnPPJhoMz3cS1O/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/AVvXsEhZOpkq5e2IC2mCQz2Tfea0EHe_fsILarfF5IZFa9DbBaI6rCHxaViQIrLmWnZrGevIUyXxTwyYqOXfvQD4JvVeMB2hx1kv-jQo4HpKcDDKC-HZUpgOhs31CptnGImsKEXnPPJhoMz3cS1O/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/AVvXsEjJNuWckeT6xoBJZhEH7nPcqI2Fs5ZPAn6IGqHAehJTWDd9SE4k8an4JduhLfC3vZW6pzx8lxMl25o3J3hYorX3kN2-sbNDQC4ya_PIXRlPPF4qhzTm8Rnnr-0qRnO4snfKrXCQrj7Lrj5Y/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/AVvXsEjJNuWckeT6xoBJZhEH7nPcqI2Fs5ZPAn6IGqHAehJTWDd9SE4k8an4JduhLfC3vZW6pzx8lxMl25o3J3hYorX3kN2-sbNDQC4ya_PIXRlPPF4qhzTm8Rnnr-0qRnO4snfKrXCQrj7Lrj5Y/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/AVvXsEgzHcIjEZEwD3Gx3Qi-cUV6o_K1ZauM4j0ZH2wqv8_cH6fkltM3_GwDAFbrCu7FHFOq9SfMzZHa38dR7NdMRmiqLu-h2tR1-rzMvkQ5j1VGqsl5svbMHx-G9_7wmCMCFI9QrdRPp0hCmqx3/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/AVvXsEgzHcIjEZEwD3Gx3Qi-cUV6o_K1ZauM4j0ZH2wqv8_cH6fkltM3_GwDAFbrCu7FHFOq9SfMzZHa38dR7NdMRmiqLu-h2tR1-rzMvkQ5j1VGqsl5svbMHx-G9_7wmCMCFI9QrdRPp0hCmqx3/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. Talented and an absolute pleasure to work with - my favourite combination! You can see more of Lauren's work on her <a href="http://porterdesigncompany.com/">website</a>, and she now has a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002573480570&sk=wall">Facebook</a> page as well, so pop on in and say hi from me.<br /><br />Hope you're all having a great week - I'm enjoying the school holidays way too much as always. They're never long enough for me, so I'm making the most of it before we get back to business next week.
