turquoise painted furniture

I went to the Melrose Trading Post for the first time this weekend and I was not disappointed. There was amazing, cheap art like vintage postcards. I picked up some old greeting cards from D.C. that I'm going to frame as an ode to my hometown! One thing that I noticed, though, is that a bunch of the stands had painted furniture in the same shade of turquoise. Don't get me wrong, it looked awesome. I love the look of old, classically-shaped furniture in unexpected colors. Just last week I spray painted a coffee table a bright seafoam. However, the fact that I was seeing this at so many of the different shops gave me a weird vibe. Is this way too trendy? To me, flea market finds are supposed to be a way to get unique, different pieces for a home, and I wouldn't want to get anything that defeated that purpose. I picked up a few frames, but avoided the tables, chairs and mirrors for now.

turquoise quarters

Recently I've been fantasizing about turquoise decor. Obviously, all of these pieces in one home would be overkill but these are some pretty great items to choose from. I'm especially taken with the idea of a white and turquoise master bedroom. White bedding accented with the fleece throw and two decorative pillows would be so lovely while remaining gender neutral.
