Totally teal...

I often sit and dream about what colours I will decorate my new house.  I don't have a new house by the way, nor am I even close to having one, but when I do at least I'll know what colour I want to paint my rooms.


My latest obsession is teal.  So called I understand after the Common Teal, a member of the duck family whose eyes are surrounded by the colour.  


I love the way that it be used as an all over colour or just an accent in a room.  It looks amazing when set off with crisp white wood work, or totally clashing with other brights.  It manages to be both vintage and modern at the same time and works in any room.
