As a gal who loves the shades of turquise and teal colors reminiscent of ocean waters, I just had to sneak a peek at a garden rumored to display the use of a teal color theme remarkably effectively. The teal front door and a teal bicycle parked on the front lawn only hint at the colorful sight to be discovered as the visitor walks up the driveway and rounds the corner to the back yard.
