Gaga for green! And four giveaways!


Good Sunday evening to you. Hope you have had a wonderful weekend, today was a lazy day and boy did it feel gooooood. Long overdue, and so wonderful!

 This is a post I "found" in my draft box, one that somehow never got posted!! And there were too many pretty rooms for this to not be shared. In addition,  I am offering a handful of wonderful giveaways in celebration of mothers everywhere (we all know by far, the hardest job there is)! All details for giveaway at bottom of this post.


I am having a serious green crush lately. I mean I have always loved green, but I am loving it on a whole new level now. I was at someones house as a guest and have to say I fell head over heels over a dark green paneled library she had. If I had known her for more than four hours I would have certainly asked to take a picture! It got me thinking about how fabulous (and sometimes underrated green rooms are)

And not just  your light and soft greens, but GREENS. That means those stunning rich mossy, forest, dark, jade greens. If you are gonna do it..might as well go all the way right? I have visions of moss green velvet in my library, with acres of green bullion fringe adorning them. Then I see a leopard ottoman somewhere in the mix, get the picture? So today's post is paying homage to all things beautifully green. What do you think? Here's a look at all the  many shades of green, all so very beautiful.......

 There are greens, and there are greens....and this sumptuous green chinoiserie is just on another level! LOVE! Winfield House
