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/AVvXsEiGYZQKIkM1COdU2NTz7NcZrwIZKMeH4Z3U3luzxc7DoDrNx-AQGeArH6biHZilbLNE3-CLWdnXll4ZETqTaMOeOZP8_ofFuyQSDOkKszu3AEX12HyPgh9xsZG4f7cK6sRa0Rx05l3G0wov/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/AVvXsEiGYZQKIkM1COdU2NTz7NcZrwIZKMeH4Z3U3luzxc7DoDrNx-AQGeArH6biHZilbLNE3-CLWdnXll4ZETqTaMOeOZP8_ofFuyQSDOkKszu3AEX12HyPgh9xsZG4f7cK6sRa0Rx05l3G0wov/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/AVvXsEinkwI7yEnFwRhrRDRwHEG-A3_GN857v282e83ZOaX9ZlHVv7thGv9qDzvNGcsz2Jm1ih-ei0FY76Di02K-_FwCFkDLt8iZJ3evkgfcntKUugEVuXn48SDdoxHHjGuX5T98Eh4wbOcRbDdT/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/AVvXsEinkwI7yEnFwRhrRDRwHEG-A3_GN857v282e83ZOaX9ZlHVv7thGv9qDzvNGcsz2Jm1ih-ei0FY76Di02K-_FwCFkDLt8iZJ3evkgfcntKUugEVuXn48SDdoxHHjGuX5T98Eh4wbOcRbDdT/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/AVvXsEiI5qeDu6IQEaKesFK9j_bjQgbh3VZJU0Y97xEqCTxMLqcMHMIeruuB1XegWro3bSxd3H3i6Gnm2dkG63cGSl_sujJwDRRSjLlqCmYz7IR3KKg3l-BiaCQFRkGIhW4KE1Y4v0_b-TmTW62P/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/AVvXsEiI5qeDu6IQEaKesFK9j_bjQgbh3VZJU0Y97xEqCTxMLqcMHMIeruuB1XegWro3bSxd3H3i6Gnm2dkG63cGSl_sujJwDRRSjLlqCmYz7IR3KKg3l-BiaCQFRkGIhW4KE1Y4v0_b-TmTW62P/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/AVvXsEhoKz9WlruH_BiStEtO5QuLcGktXjvti3F-CeRBLut5rOaaWcjkkwyst-d0BqL1OCcVc_UIlk7JVbWjNcaZVsJteNJ05egr3b7b76ZgcrUIPFW8RUmkBVhDkYB54KpGjR2GwVUJOaIy7JiR/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/AVvXsEhoKz9WlruH_BiStEtO5QuLcGktXjvti3F-CeRBLut5rOaaWcjkkwyst-d0BqL1OCcVc_UIlk7JVbWjNcaZVsJteNJ05egr3b7b76ZgcrUIPFW8RUmkBVhDkYB54KpGjR2GwVUJOaIy7JiR/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/AVvXsEink2hR5Re_aHEyBzFLS0rJ98ghYuAF6O7nPnaNZ3saPtIIliS2X8hSksTP7avOQ2vqThuwj1RawnKtxPHAaBbBQORn6oGBl3pKJG9HIqChQN3x7at1e9H4o-gDDG-aMMVB8RT0RBckje1W/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/AVvXsEink2hR5Re_aHEyBzFLS0rJ98ghYuAF6O7nPnaNZ3saPtIIliS2X8hSksTP7avOQ2vqThuwj1RawnKtxPHAaBbBQORn6oGBl3pKJG9HIqChQN3x7at1e9H4o-gDDG-aMMVB8RT0RBckje1W/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/AVvXsEj7ElCaQpCyxtv1YbiIqhY1kNJ0l73MlklTD3ZK5ujsYqA_8mzXirITg2rXJxI9CRw7ofbOVNTA6rls4rGfvAu4t8OfmbnIKNDKofuRL78nsq05E29akp21kOihdH_TDFPnvOujBW4eWvlP/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/AVvXsEj7ElCaQpCyxtv1YbiIqhY1kNJ0l73MlklTD3ZK5ujsYqA_8mzXirITg2rXJxI9CRw7ofbOVNTA6rls4rGfvAu4t8OfmbnIKNDKofuRL78nsq05E29akp21kOihdH_TDFPnvOujBW4eWvlP/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.

One gorgeous home three ways...well almost

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you may remember <a href="http://driftwood-interiors.blogspot.com/2010/08/one-gorgeous-hometwo-ways.html">this post</a>, when I featured one of my favourite houses. It was originally built by artist Marcella Kaspar and her husband, Mark Cooper, and later sold to Maggie Tabberer. Well, Marcella and Mark have since built another home, with a similar floorplan, but this time they decided to change things up a little, and the results are just stunning.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
