Going Green

I'm haven't done much decorating since Christmas but now I'm putting away, straightening up and preparing for spring.  Rather than the blue and white I usually focus on, I'm adding a few green accents. 

My dining room is just about finished.  Nothing new here.  I just used a few things I already had and I moved the botanical pictures from the living room. 

The jars are eggs from previous Easters and one jar is some glass vase fillers I had on hand.
I purchased these green curtains last year and I'm glad I'm finally able to put them up.

I'm glad to have one room done because I have so much more to do.  After getting a paint sample, I settled on a paint color for my living room - Behr- Silver Drop.  It's a very pale grey that illuminates the room and flowes with the adjoining dining room.  I'm looking forward to finishing it. 

Oh, and I also just got my Wisteria cloches and I'm thrilled with them but they are currently in my living room so I'll share them when I finish painting.

  8. Hi there,
    I am new to blogging and read your "about me" page today. I agree, blogging really does fill a hole in a creative spot in your heart that can sometimes be missing when you are a stay at home mother or even retiree. I have a son who lives in Houston who is a mechanical engineer for a major company and another son who who is studying computer engineering right now at a major college near our area of the Northwest. Engineering is a tough major and this says a lot about you...you are one smart cookie gal!
    Anyway, love your blog and am so happy you decided to put your talents and creativity into creating a blog to be enjoyed by all! Your home is lovely and love the blue colors. Blue is such a relaxing color. I am adding your blog to my list of "you might want to visit" suggestions. I am a new to the blogging world and I am so much enjoying this journey. There are so many beautiful blogs out there and a lot of creative people! Have a wonderful day! xoxo Kim
