new vera wang casual dinnerware

It’s the same pristine white bone china you’ve come to expect from Vera Wang’s dinnerware for Waterford Wedgwood, but the doyenne of dreamy wedding dresses (and equally dreamy wedding registry must-haves) has a little fun with a new casual collection. These three new designs mark a radical shift away from her stately classics, and each one crystallizes a contemporary trend — arabesque ribbon, botanicals and ikat.

Vera Wang – Glisee

colour of the year: turquoise

Back in December, Pantone revealed its colour of the year for 2010. And the winner was: Turquoise! Well, we`re three months into 2010 and as we head into spring, perhaps it`s the perfect time to start thinking of ways to incorporate this colour at home. Inspired by nature from sea to sky, turquoise is known for its restful effect, representing feelings of tranquility and calm. It`s how you might feel languishing under a cloudless sky by the turquoise waters of a tropical paradise. Ahhhhh …

A vacation is one thing. But when you return home, leaving the ocean behind, you may want to recreate that sense of calm inside your own house. Turquoise home decor products abound. Check out some of my favourite wallcoverings below (visit crownwallpaper.com for more information), plus take a look at 10 more terrific turquoise home accessories that`ll inspire you to inject some cheer into your decor.
