Turquoise Cloud:  How nice to be floating up there, bobbing along in tranquil skies, somewhere….on a turquoise cloud.  Have you ever made up a house and all of its contents inside your head before?  Take a tour in this pretend turquoise and white house put together just for the fun of it.  The house exterior is turquoise as is everything inside of it.  This is my big girl Barbie house where Barbie is OCD for turquoise.

Victorian Houses Are Eye Candy

Victorian Houses Are Eye Candy

Wouldn’t it be grand if new houses today were built with the character and details of Victorian houses, well, I suppose they aren’t because of cost.   They were popular during the reign of Queen Victoria around 1830 to 1901, so this style comes from history and is not really a style, but I don’t really care… Continue Reading
