Decorating for Spring
Living room in greys and bluesI have to admit that I went off the colour green for awhile. I’m not sure why, but for years I just felt it wasn’t ‘me’, and I’d gravitate towards blue and neutrals. But for one reason or another, I’m back on green bigtime. Not so much khaki green, and not an insipid spring green, either. I am just loving bold, bright green at the moment. Like this amazing chest of drawers designed for Century Furniture by Jonathan Adler:
house and home
Green wallpaper in the back of bookshelves or to back kitchen cupboards is a great idea, too. The geometric design here is so modern and fresh, I love it.

I like this green upholstered bedhead, and appreciate the way the straight lines of its design counteract with the off-centred round mirrors. I can’t decide about the big jade lamps, though. Are they beautiful or ugly? - (or ugly-pretty for ANTM watchers!)

Thought I’d throw in this bit of green loveliness - green Christian Louboutins are definitely on my wish-list.
can't remember this source sorry!
Another little pop of green (below). I’ve had this picture stored for ages, the saarinen tables and black-and-white rug offset the otherwise classic style of the room in a way I like. And I always love a double-height living room!

Green is a really fresh colour for a kitchen:

The famous hallway belonging to Chloe Sevigny lined with green trellis wallpaper:

It’s all about texture, as well as colour. The wet-looking green vinyl on the chairs, the raw zinc of the table, the softness of the rug, and that light fitting! It all works together so well (below).

Finally, something on my current must-buy list, a monogrammed tray (in Kelly Green of course- email me for details).

What a great color combination. You are a genius. I love the green with the touch of gray inb all the pictures.
Hey, I love the mirror on top of the green chest of drawers and was wondering if it was some great one-off find or if it is possible to pick one up from somewhere?
I’m sure I could find you something very similar, just email me
Love this blog post. I love blues too but recently came across kelly green and fell in love with the color. Love the Jan Showers images with the cushions.
It was my fave colour for awhile but then my mum became obsessed with green for the house and orange for her caravan. I was so ‘over’ it but now I am in love with green again (and orange!)….. Funny isn’t it? I also used to really love navy blue and yellow so you know what colours will be in our house in a couple of years! On a different note: Is there a similar store to Jonathan Adler in Australia? ………………or even just somewhere that sells Greek key knobs. I see so much geometric stuff on blogs but I can’t find them in mainstream shopping………
I love that your mum had an orange-decorated caravan! She sounds great. I know what you mean about the blue-and-yellow, I used to love that combo too! I wish we had a Jonathan Adley store here - I’m frequently frustrated by the lack of places in Australia to buy great geometric pieces! But I can help you out with ordering his products. As for greek key knobs, I haven’t seen any in regular stores here, but you can buy them on ebay.com (american ebay) and on amazon. If you fail there, I could help you source them through trade wholesalers. Naomi x
Thank you. I’ll probably have you source a few things for me but not for awhile…………. just bought window coverings (cost more than my first car, ha, ha…)…. I’m looking on e bay now for those knobs. Thanks.
P.S. I haven’t replied to your replies as I haven’t worked out how to get a notification… ?? Just when I think that I’ve got this blogging thing sussed, ha.
*Just gives me an excuse to go through all your posts.
I’m still working out the blogging thing myself! I’m sure there’s some button thingamajig somewhere to get notifications, just not sure where. Goodluck finding the knobs and let me know if you need a hand with anything! Naomi x
Hi Naomi! Love this post…and those shoes…can I have them? No, seriously…Haha!!! Hope you’re having a good day
