Green - the new hue

Green with envy, he's green in experience...why is so much negativity attributed to the beautiful colour green?  For me green is peaceful and fresh, and it just plain makes me feel good.  From apple, aquamarine, beryl, bice, blue-green, chartreuse, fir, forest, grass, greenish-blue, jade, kelly, lime, malachite, mint, moss, olive, pea, peacock, pine, sage, sap, sea, spinach, verdigris, vert, viridian and willow.  I'll take it all!

The ever stylish Marie Antoinette obviously loved green and all that whooshing silk.  This beautiful french set of drawers is also a twist on the kelly green theme. 

I don't think I can ever look at wallpaper the same way after I'd seen deGournay silk panels.  This old french company excels in silken chinoiserie walls at nearly criminal costs - but how beautiful are they?

I'm sorry this 8 carat Emerald (below) one can get lost in!

Fabric acquisitions for upholstery ...a new obsession

Firstly, this droolingly fabulous Scalamandre Hydrangea print is to die for.  I see this on my two main living room chairs surrounded by green, pink, cream.

 This Jeffersonian toile in the beautiful hues of duck egg blue and beige.  Features colonial American scenes.  I love the used washed out look of this fabric.

 This is a fabulous Chippendale pattern in the Tingara green colour, which I'm going to cover a faux Chippendale style.

 This beautiful olive green silk I see for a lovely single cushion.

Look at this fabulous denim coloured toile with French Court characters!  The colour of blue, mint green and lemon and cream are such a new take on the old fashioned toile.
