{inspired} walls

Today I'm completely loving these wall treatments.
Perfection.

And, I would love to have floors that look like this.
I've always been curious about milk paint. Have any of you used it? Can you give a recommendation?

{inspired} green

Happy March 1 friends! I love March. It means spring is so. darn. close. In honor of spring, I'm highlighting some greens I've been loving lately.

Green and I don't always get agree. Some years we love each other. Other years, not so much. This year, though, I'm finding myself draw to fresh pops of green.

 
When I brought the *m* home, above, the first thing I told Chris was: *don't worry, it's not staying green.* It matches nothing in our living room or our house, for that matter. Yet, 5 months later, it's still green. It provides a little punch to the room that I'm really loving right now and I can't bring myself to paint it. Yet.

This color is so bright and cheery! Especially when complimented by the lemon tree. Lovely.

  
Love this color, and this style for spring! 

  
I love this green. I'm very particular about my greens. See love-hate relationship above. But this bold, classic grass-green really gets me. I have shoes this color that make me very happy.

  
Aaah. Fern art is so neutral and relaxing. Very *botanical spa-like.*

  
These green-backed cabinets are perfection. The perfect location to use a fun, bold accent color. Such as green.

  
The left picture, IMO, illustrates just how much life even a little green can instill into a neutral room. Especially love the green canisters on the counter.

 
My favorite way to add a little green into a room: plants! I never get tired of plants, with all the color and life they instill into a room.
