Color Crush: Seaglass
June 16, 2010
Lately, I’ve been crushing on the colors in seaglass – those watery, ethereal blues and greens that bring to mind the colors of the many oceans, and the relaxation that seems to accompany spaces decorated in these shades.
I love to collect seaglass, and these days I find myself drawn to all sorts of decorative glass objects in these vivid greens and blues – they just mix so beautifully together and always look fresh.
Here’s a few of my favorite designer spaces combining all the beautiful colors found in seaglass . . .

Aren’t all those blues and greens so fantastic together ?

I looove that kitchen and just about every room posted! I’m a huge fan of that color combination as well; it’s very playful and serene all at once. It’s definitely a contender for when we buy our house or next apartment, (right now we’re doing the yellow, gray and white). These are wonderful inspiration.
I have always loved those colors! For years, I have had this picture in my mind of a little bungalow (like the one we lived in when we were first married) furnished in seaglass colors and white. Maybe when the kids are gone and I don’t have to have so much house and purposely dirt colored tile and carpet!
Love all of the pictures, very refreshing. My Granny’s favorites were always blue and green, and I too love the combination. I am also loving chocolates and blues.
Unfortunately, my color crush is burgundy. So I must, somehow, get through summer :D and then I can enjoy it for about 6 months before I have to de-burgundy-fy my house.
Those pictures are ALL so beautiful. I am also totally crushing on those colors lately, which makes me slightly apprehensive when I consider that I went to the fabric store recently and ordered fabric for my living room in raspberries and lime/citrus. (?!) I still can’t figure out why I chose those, but I did love them, so I’m going with it. Seeing your pictures, though, makes me wonder what I was thinking?
This post is full of eye candy! I love these spaces, I absolutely love sea glass too and am always collecting it when I go to the beach :)
I have always loved sea/ocean colors. Blue is always one I pick as my favorite. Lately, I’m trying really hard to break out of my cool color obsession. I’m repainting in warm colors for the main floor of my house; Colorado tends to be pretty cool by itself without decorating help! I *love* your blog; it’s the first thing I check in the morning, even before I read my hubby’s good morning e-mail from work! Please keep up the good work!
I love the house beautiful kitchen! Just inspiring pictures.

My two favorite colors – green and blue – they make the room like so calm and serene!
I am with you, I love the colors of seaglass, especially Seafoam, that is my favorite
I make seaglass jewelry so I get to play with those colors everyday!
Love the picture from House Beautiful with the glass balls. I love glass balls

Love your sea glass with green!!! I’m dated though apparently, but I just love good old creams, whites, black and caramel…
Oh those pictures were lovely :) My living room now is blues, beiges and greens and it is very tranquil and light.
Wow! Gorgeous picks. That nursury (for triplets?) is so cute. I guess if you give birth to three babies at one time, you deserve a really kickin’ place to put them.
those pictures are amazing! I lovelovelove them!
I’m with you….these colors are AMAZING!!! I love how simple, yet bold they are! Have a great sunny day!

I LOVE the nursery for 3! What a great color scheme for boy or girl.
I’m a tad bit obsessed with orange these days but the seaglass colors are lovely. The triplet nursery is adorable – the 2010 Decorator’s showcase in San Francisco had a nursery for triplets as well – new trend? Thanks for sharing these soothing, beautiful photos!
I am crushing on denim, washed out blues and cotton whites! Just refinished a buffet in the denim with a lighter blue dry brushed over top. Love it!
Love the color! Reminds me of an article I read in BHG’S June edition. They have a whole page on indoor color Seaglass, complete with all the coordinates. If you can pick up a copy I suggest checking it out.
I am all about the turquoise and green scheme, as my Pinterest boards clearly betray: http://pinterest.com/tanjahester/color-inspiration/. How many other color combinations are at once energizing and serene?
I love the whitest white kitchen sink & the cupboard set with diamond shaped green,blue and white tiles!!! –> I am sure gonna remodel my own kitchen back in my homeland as soon as I go back there.
What a new idea to lay two twin sized beds in the same wall!!!
I absoLutely will try that for the bedroom of my two boys!
Also, the new positioning of armchairs in a circular way got me so~~ impressive!
Why didn’t we try that? I will!!!
Beautiful – Love the colrs:)
