Now this is Green

We love green. Most of my house and our merchandise is done in whites, grays, and neutrals so it probably sounds strange to hear we both love green. There is just something about it and it especially stands out beautifully with the above mentioned neutrals. Think about a bowl of limes or granny smith apples waiting to be made into homemade applesauce. What about a field of young wheat on a spring day, or a bunch of pale green hydrangea….beautiful. I love watching a brand new fern frond unfurl. (say that fast 5 times !) So, this post is about the beauty of green objects. Some are outside, some inside but all stunning in their simplicity and striking contrast against a neutral palette.

That is our idea of green. There are so many more pictures I could add, some from magazines, some from our own stuff. Hope you enjoyed our green journey. Now, go eat some green grapes with an Irish friend and watch “Fried Green Tomatoes”.
