  • In Celebration of St. Patrick’s Day: Decorating with Green

    Green symbolizes growth, harmony, and a connection to nature. Since it’s also the color of St. Patrick’s Day, this is the perfect time to explore exciting ideas for decorating your home with green!

    Because green is available in so many shades, it’s a versatile color with which you can create many moods and looks. Darker emerald or pine greens are traditionally glamorous, while bright apple greens are fresh and invigorating. Soft sea foam or pistachio green adds a calming effect to any room.

    Green works in almost any room in your home, from the entryway, where green continues a natural connection from the outdoors into your home, to the kitchen, where green cabinets are an imaginative choice.

Green with lots of rustic wood communicates an earthy simplicity. If you’re cautious about a bright green, try it on one important accent piece in a space, or paint one wall in a room. Green works great as an accent color in otherwise neutral spaces. Since we see green as a color from our natural world, we accept it visually in many iterations and locations.

  • Have a Seat… in the Bedroom?

    What is it about seating in the bedroom that gives it an air of elegance? Perhaps because benches, chairs, chaises, sofas and love seats are so often seen in common living areas that it automatically becomes a visual interest when seen in a different type of space.
