My dear Mother told me that when she was a little girl, her parents would take her and my aunt for long walks in the woods - sounds basic and natural for us today, doesn't it? Sure, except that in the 40s, when she was a child, such walks were connected with the belief that actually looking at the colour green was good for your eyes! Sounds silly if we take the superstition literally but let's step back for a moment - being surrounded by green, as in nature, IS good for us, so they were clearly on to something....
There are a thousand shades of green and, therefore, a myriad of possibilities when it comes to including green in your home decor...
~try a green accent wall~
hey, that dog could use a splash of green!
~Green cabinets are funky and fun...not to mention very au courant right now!
Green is synonymous with "eco-"....
I have always been a fan of blue and green together, in the right shades...here, an Ikea cabinet was given new life with the addition of a blue background...wonder if they painted the backboard or the actual wall behind it?
One of the hottest trends these days is mixing green with South Beach colours - here, a stunning Kabloom wallpaper works its magic in combination with vibrant aqua blue splashes of colour...
Another example of green+South Beach....
Gorgeous, luscious green, and good for your eyes too!
