Ever since I shared the post Gracious Greens on March 16th to coincide with St. Patty’s Day I can not get the color out of my head. I’m known for my deep love of blue in the Chalet decor and as a go-to color in my wardrobe but, lately my eye constantly seeks green. Like the posts I share Fridays on Instagram - today I’m sharing inspirational images I’ve saved. I do chuckle as I sit here typing I’m actually surrounded by 5 green lamps.

I love these green couches and think oh I’ll get a slipcover for our white sofa but, then I think - No. I don’t want green on top of our blue carpeting. Then I think about painting a piece of furniture. I do have my childhood dresser that I could paint - although I’d have to think about where it would live.

I could place it in the hall but, the black lacquer cabinet is really perfect there. Jessica Buckley’s work is crazy inspiring; maybe a pattern with green for the sofa. A custom made cover in an amazing fabric could so cool on the sofa.

Maybe I could embrace green on the walls of our bath; it’s been a year since I painted it blue. Then as always I started thinking of textiles for pillows.

This is renown Interior Designer Rita Konig - see the beautiful pillow next to her. I started searching for fabric - from many suppliers and I reached out to Alyssa of Annabel Bleu - and although this is not a fabrication she carries she offered suggestions and searched on my behalf which was so very kind of her.

Then as I was scrolling Instagram I realized my friend Emily Vanderputten has gorgeous pillows at her kitchen banquette. Of course I DM’d her and shared what I was looking for even going so far as sharing a screen grab of Ms. Konig’s pillow - she suggested I try Etsy.

Look at what I purchased. Looks pretty perfect!

While the wrap up of this post should be a finished pillow - it’s not - this momma has had no extra time to whip out my sewing machine - between school fundraisers and life! Creating a pillow is on my To Do List.

I’ll write a post sharing my Interior Design To-Do List for the Chalet. This pillow, drapery panels and a switch-plate cover that I have wallpaper for.

Stay Tuned…

Friends I’m certainly craving green these days… the weather has been iffy - I’m not sure why every year I think March will be warm - because it is most certainly not. We have sprung forward yay and the days are longer. Spring is coming this Sunday and I know we’re all ready for it. This week I’m sharing a COLOR STORY filled with images that spoke to me.
