Green It Is!

Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback regarding my table and the encouragement to go bold. I pitched the green idea to the hubby, and I think he's on board. And it must have been meant to be... I was thumbing through my current issue of Real Simple and there's a whole section on decorating with green, featuring Mr. Wilde's great quote. This could be exciting! I love my house, but I do have to admit, it's quite white/tan/brown/black throughout, with just small splashes of color. This would be somewhat stepping outside the good ole comfort zone... Do you think I can follow through?!

Happy, HAPPY Friday!

That sofa and that armchair are GORGE!!! ANd I am loving that lamp too, and those pillows, and the side table... hang on - I love it all!!

I am a green fan. It's my favorite color - it's great because it's peaceful yet vibrant and fresh.

Oh, glad he is on board! I love that side table and that lamp is fantastic.

I have always loved green in the home--i painted the walls of my first apartment bright grass green and loved it! Have a great weekend.

Sweet! I replied to your table post in my head at least 5 times... YES - paint it! That's my vote too! I can't wait to see your pic...

Awesome, you're going green! You have inspired me to take a look at this classic color and see where I can incorporate it in my home. thanks!

I'm glad you are going green for the table. Maybe you can add a hint of the green throughout the kitchen with not spending too much $$. Kotori and Aimee will be a great help with words of wisdom. I love both of their homes too. I'm guessing they live near by. Oh I can't wait to see the finished table.

Have a golden weekend! xoxo
