Aqua

If there’s one color which I really love (and I mean REALLY love) it’s for sure aqua.

For those of you who don’t deal with sophisticated color names on a daily basis, I’ll explain that aqua is a very light turquoise and the color that is right in the middle between mint green and light blue. The meaning of the word aqua is “water” and I feel that nothing describes this color better than a tropical beach with white sand and clear light greenish turquoise water, or aqua if you will.

I’ve been loving this color for ages. I love wearing it, painting everything around me in it and even just looking at it. It’s fresh, it’s pleasant and there is truly no other color besides aqua that just goes along so well with any other shade.

My boyfriend already knows that any aqua-colored item is a perfect gift for me and in my studio “aqua” is mentioned so frequently that even sayings like “have an aqua day” have been invented.

To interiors, aqua adds lightness and breeziness.

Painting furniture in aqua gives them a fresh dainty look.

This is an old sewing machine table I bought in the flea market and was painted by my mom, in aqua of course.

This is the main display cabinet in one of my shops, also renovated and painted.

This dresser and bench also did not manage to get away from being painted aqua!

It’s only a matter of time until I have an aqua shop front. I want one just like this!

Wearing aqua is pure fun.

I bought this watch about 30 seconds after I first saw it.

Anyway, if a total look in aqua is too much for you, it’s always an  an option to stick to a piece of jewelry with an aqua shade. To me, there is no better combination than aqua and gold.

Have an aqua day!
