You would think that I, coming equipped with deep green eyes, would appreciate the color green — not so. Green has been my absolute least favorite color for a very long time. But for the 12 months or so I have slowly started to warm up to the color. And on my last trip to Sweden, I bought not one, but two pairs of green slim fitting jeans (just need to find a way to get into them!).
Now I find myself actually imagining myself looking at a room with greens in it. I don’t look away. I even try to think about how I can incorporate a tiny bit of green in my own house. What a concept! What a change! (And green goes well with gray too, folks).
For all you green lovers out there – I finally get it. I see what you see. I am just a late bloomer.
(In the room below I would only do the green grass cloth wall coverings and skip all the other green accents. I can’t go green all out – yet! But brown and green are so pretty together).
A very pretty dark sage green.
Classy.
Green wallpaper in the powder room. If done right — very nice.
Very mellow green. The room would not even be the same without it!
Perhaps the most blogged about dining room. But what a statement room! And see how green and gray work great together.
Green and gray again. Me like.
This vignette (an old classic) makes me literally green with envy.
Also an oldie. But if it works it works. Green and gold play well together.
Green, linen shades. Pretty, pretty and so friendly.
I saved my favorite to last. Swedish of course. So fresh and soothing. I LOVE that wall paper with simple Lilies of the Valley. Both a classy and a modern room. And my old 18th c. Swedish chairs (like the one in the picture) can now also function as bedside tables!
What about you? A thumb up for green — or not? I am quite curious.
