green as a neutral color

I hope you've read the new issue of House Beautiful. If not, go out and buy it right now. Seriously. Okay, you can finish reading, and then go buy it.

It was one of my favorite issues to date. 

I fell in love.

With a neutral color.

Green.

Wait what!? Green as a neutral? Yes. The focus of this issue was on incorporating green into your house and life, and to treat it as a clean color palette. Pretty fitting with St. Patrick's day around the corner. 

After reading and feeling inspired to live a green life (literally and figuratively), my green thumb was hard at work on Pinterest

Here it is on a ceiling. How surprising and stunning?

Such a fun accent wall.

Green dresser. Need one.

Drooling yet? Feeling like you need to run out to the store and grab a can of green paint? 

Me too.

If you're more color conscious, I've put together some items that will slowly incorporate green into your life. My personal fave is the bar cart. I neeeed one.
