Green with Envy

Posted 06/07/2011 by Rachel in Decor \ 4 comments

Hi there! I daydream about interior design and color combinations, so subsequently I'm always wanting to redecorate my house (which drives my husband crazy)! I love my husband and our 4 dogs, working in a creative field, a good laugh, and a great margarita. ;-)

Remember when you saw sage green all over?  I’m old enough to remember hunter green – my ninth grade bedroom was hunter green with burgundy.  How about teal?  Kelly green?  Celery?

Green is such a pretty and versatile color, and I’ve been seeing it more and more in magazines and on TV interiors.  I’m getting ready to re-do our guest bathroom, and  it’s made me rethink the color I thought I wanted to paint the walls.  Now I’m thinking green.

Here’s a little inspiration:

Soft green, gray green, dark green, yellow greens… It’s hard for me to decide!  What do you think?  Do you have any favorite greens in your home?

    I love the one with the red light fixture. Really pops.
    I had hunter green and navy sheets when I went to college. So dated now!

    I love green! My favorite is chartreuse, but I pretty much like them all in varying amounts. I’ve learned that a little goes a long way with greens.

    Green is the best color ever! Lately, I’ve been a huge fan of green and pink combination. Not everyone likes it, I guess, but it’s pure genius to me. And yes, do paint the walls green, you cannot do wrong with that.
