Embracing The Color Green!It's St. Patrick's Day and I couldn't resist this opportunity to highlight a few fabulous rooms embracing the color green!
A brilliant green makes this room sing, beautifully! I love the small repeat of the color on the rug.
Wouldn't you love to be brave enough to pull a room like this together? Mint green walls and chartreuse accents are paired with vibrant Kelly green foliage. Dramatic, particularly when that foliage includes one very large palm leaf.
Green accents paired with it's complimentary color red, in an otherwise fairly neutral room, adds up to happy. Note: if you want to successful apply these colors in your room stay away from shades typically used for holiday decor, or the end result won't be quite what you were hoping for...

No my favorite color to use when decorating my home... but I could absolutely find a place for that amazing green lamp! Wow:) Happy St.Patty's Day!
Years ago I decided I wanted our spare room/office a bright happy green. After the first coat I left the room & I could see this sickly green glow coming into the hallway. Before the day was over I repainted it beige.
Thank goodness I've gotten better at picking paint colors.
gorgeous images...i absolutely love the apple green in the first image.. so fresh and unique...happy st. patrick's day to you, Janell..do stop by my blog to answer a fun question today!! xx meenal
Green is so soothing! Nicolex
We had a silvery green wall color in the living room in our last home. I loved spending time in that room.
There will always be some shade of green that is popular. It just works with so many things. I love the second image, although I really think the wall color is too cool for the other green accents in the room, but hey, that's what's fun about design. The palm frond is a fav for sure!
Happy St. Paddy's day, Janell!
I love green...tend to go for the softer shades for my own home but totally appreciate a bright or dark green in the right space..its all about balance and getting it right.
That last photo makes me s.w.o.o.n.
Will you please let us know where you bought your dining room table? : )
I love that apple green, my daughter's bedroom walls are that color and it looks beautiful!
Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Absolutely Gorgeous!
Both our master bedroom and our main living room are green. It took a few attempts at getting the correct "green apple" color for the living room and "Irish field" for the bedroom (thank you, Martha Stewart), but it's a wonderful color in our home - we have lots of dark wood trim, so the green pops out, but it calming at the same time! YAY FOR GREEN!
My school uniform was green so it's taken me a while to get over the tauma of it!! But I'm slowly coming round to loving green again. It's so pretty and fresh.

jmm, send me an email and I'll share the resource of the table. I made it a policy not to talk about the resource as I complained about aspects of the piece, but sharing with anyone who wants to send me an email. Thanks!! Janell
oh so pretty! I love green!!
I never thought I'd be a green convert, but I am! I recently transformed a thrifted sideboard by painting it a fresh grass green and couldn't be happier! Check it out:

Beautiful spaces. Green is my absolute favorite color. Happy St.Patrick's Day.
Happy St Patrick's Day! Love the green surrounding the tub. Looks really pretty with the white beadboard.
Ohhhh the peacock cushion was the first thing that caught my eye! Thanks for sharing!
Love love green!!! It is a staple in my home. I think of it as natures base and I am a Spring time gal when it comes to colors so green is a natural for my home. Happy St. Paddy's day!! Kathysue
Green with blue is my favorite combination. I too did a post dedicated to green today – happy St. Patrick's Day!

Love that green bathroom!
I have been loving green lately- especially a strong kelly/emerald shade- so pretty!
that bathroom is amazing, I would love to have a tub like that one day- I just love it!
I have been a huge fan of green for years. I decided that I would try something new and decorate with blues and greys instead but I can't seem to break that green addiction
Love a little green here and there! Happy St. Patrick's Day! I almost bought the cutest green eyelet skirt from Old Navy the other day!
I don't use a lot of green in my own home, but I certainly appreciate a pop of green in the right spaces. These are lovely. xo
So funny - very wise advice to stay away from 'holiday' color combos!
Love that first bathroom.
How fun, Janell! Love green! Layla's bathroom is so adorable. Happy St. Patrick's day (:
I love your green post! the yellowy green tones are always a favourite of mine. Hope you enjoyed a lovely St. Paddy's Day - it's a quiet day in Ireland today - I guess everyone's recovering! :)
Lovin' the green post. :) We've just painted part of our living and dining rooms Sherwin Williams Humorous Green. So funky! Happy Friday Janell!

Yeah, that green leaf is no joke! Looks cool with the light coming through it.
