Seeing Green

Welcome to the Sharin' o' the Green blog hop hosted by Amber of Follow the Yellow Brick Home.

If you're following along in order, then you have just been visiting Katie of Let's Add Sprinkles - she has such a fun style.

I love "hopping" with this group of women, but I was hesitant at first to join the in because I don't decorate with much green.

A day spent in my garden filled with green and colorful blooms made me realize that I do use green in our house.

Flowers and greenery are my go to decor element for adding color to the house. 

A few blooms snipped from the garden led to simple changes in the entry.

The little pitchers looked cute lined up in a row, but on a visit to play with our grandson last week,

 I was finally able to claim this sweet bread board an Instagram friend has been holding for me since November.

I prefer fresh flowers, but sometimes faux are all I have on hand - Steve commented that he liked the tulips in the entry so I guess I fooled him.

 Green was easy in the living room with the new bistro chairs.

The red bucket was moved from the chairs to the coffee table and I scoured the house for green decorating books.

It appears that most of my decor books are red, white and blue - I was only able to find a few green books.

The finishing touch was to recreate the flower arrangement from one of my favorite paintings.

The scale remains on the hallway table - I simply removed the February hearts 

and replaced them with some of my clock collection.

The guest room is an easy place to add green.

I don't know the name of the tree that hangs over our fence, but the greenery lasts for ages and pairs well with dried roses.

I went simple on my old typewriter with sheet music and more greenery from the tree -  I don't have Irish eyes, but Steve and the kids do.

I changed up the old door by hanging a favorite straw bag and tucking a green book in with the flowers.

My vintage hospital cart, which is serves as a desk, got an update - hopefully next week I'll have a chance to post about why those particular books are on display.

There is green tucked into vignettes all around the house, but the rain is gone, the sun is shining and all those sprouts are ready to be planted.

It's time to say goodbye to the green green hills of Ventura

and head to Petite Haus to see how Angelina incorporates green into her lovely French country style.
