Bringing Back the Green

We all know I’m slightly, ok, completely obsessed with bright colors. Aqua, yellow, coral…I love them all so much. Put a can of a bold, bright color spray paint in my hand and I’m one happy lady.

But there’s another side of me that is a little earthy and natural. In fact, before I went on a makeover spree throughout our first floor, everything in our home was earthy greens, deep golds, dark reds. And when Spring rolled around, the LAST thing you’d see in our home was an aqua mason jar with yellow daffodils sticking out of it. Nope. Instead, you’d see a lot of mossy greens, neutral colored eggs, pussy willows instead of daffodils. It ‘went’ well with the color scheme I had back then. So last year, the first year since the makeovers, all this stuff stayed in storage. Even my moss W I made at one of our Girls Craft Nights a couple years ago stayed put. And I LOVE that thing!

So this year, I thought, why not get  it all out and put it in our family room? After all, we have a green pillow on our couch, and the bright colors that I have so much of in the dining room and kitchen are much more subdued in that room anyway.

I started with the coffee table…(in case you missed that post, you can read it here.)

See the green in the pillows back there?

Then I used some picks from Michaels in my glass lamp…

And some more on my shelves…

Love those little moss bunnies too! I missed those guys.

I brought back my green hydrangeas for my DIY Mantel Box (LOVE that thing!)

And – YAY – brought back the mossy W!

It’s perfect in my HomeGoods bird cage-y thing, right?! In case you missed that post on the moss letters we made at Craft Night – it’s a piece of cardboard with moss sheets stapled to it! Easy peasy.

And check out my major score at the Dollar Tree – pussy willows for $1! I swapped them out with the heart branches…

And more moss bunnies. ‘Cuz they’re just plain cute.

I’m happy to see my green make a comeback. And now that we’re 15 days away from Spring, it’s starting to feel a little like it…at least in my family room! (Just don’t look outside the window!) 😉
