Centsational Style

There’s one gal that makes me laugh like no other and that’s Sarah over at Thrifty Decor Chick.  We all know and love her (or should I say lurve her) for her incredible knack at turning the thriftiest finds into the most fabulous decor !  Have you seen her recent staircase revamp ?  Fantastic!  It made my little DIY heart go pitter patter.  

Sarah was another lady I had the pleasure of meeting last month at Blissdom.  I look forward to her insight on home decorating every single day, and there’s no power tool this gal will ever be afraid of.  My friends, please welcome my friend Sarah – Ms. Thrifty Decor Chick ! 

“Hello all ! I’m pleased as punch to share my favorite greens with you here at my friend Kate’s fantabulous blog!   Thanks Kate!  

I have a few greens around our house that I love — some I’ve had around for years, some are recent additions.

Our bedroom wall color is one of my faves — I used Valspar’s ‘Tornado Watch’ on the walls. 

There’s a slightly darker version ‘Mossy Aura’ on the fireplace wall.  They are both a deep, grayish green color and are just lovely.   The tile I picked out for our fireplace redo works perfectly with this paint color!

I also tied this green into our bedside lamps, using a stencil and just a tiny bit of the wall color:

To make the make the master bath work with our bedroom, I pulled the same color in on a textured stencil and as well as a lighter version of the color in the tiles:

I recently did a mini-redo of our family room, and really brightened up the space just by layering a couple of new rugs:

 

I bought these beautiful green glass vases at Joann’s and they work perfectly in the new, brighter space!:

 

And it all ties in nicely with the placemat pillows I made last year:

But my all time favorite greens are those I used in our son’s nursery:

They are a fun mix of three different tones of the Apple Green from Lowe’s (Laura Ashley I believe?)  These stripes are getting a redo soon though, as I transform his room into a big boy space. :-)

Green just screams SPRING to me, so I am finding myself using it more and more over the past few weeks!   Thanks so much for letting me share Kate !”
