Decorating Our Home With Green & A Summer Colors Blog Tour

What's your favorite coloration?

Mine is white. But I also love shades of blues and greens.

Today I am participating in a Summer Colors blog tour hosted by Jennifer from Town and Country Living. This is a week long tour where an amazing lineup of blogger have all picked a favorite color and incorporated it throughout their homes for Summer.

This appeared like any such delightful concept and so I become sincerely excited to sign up for in at the a laugh. At the give up of this put up I can have the links to all the other blogger's colourful homes.

The color I choose to incorporate into our home is Green! Green is such a fresh color and is so fitting for the Summertime. Mixing shades of green into our home really livened it up. Here have a look!

The biggest pop of green in our living room is the mirror that is hanging on the mantel. This mirror was from Target a few years ago. It was a natural rattan before but I recently painted it in Behr/Mint Sprig. I've also added even more plants around our home. Plants are a really simple way to add a burst of color.

I like to bring in some of the ornamental grasses that are growing in our front yard. I feel like the grass adds a relaxed beach feel to our home. Also, by soaking the grass's roots in water it allows me to plant it in other areas of our yard later on.

One of my favorite parts about the mantle is the hanging fish bowl. I was inspired after seeing something similar on Pinterest. I'm kinda thinking of getting a fish now to place in the bowl, but for now I have a plant that is also rooting in water.

The green pillow on the couch is also in that happy green color as the mirror. You may know this already, but I purchased the fabric to make the pillow on a recent trip to Hawaii. Out of the hundreds of pillows around our home, this one is my very favorite :)

I simplest wish that I had offered extra of the material so that I should have made a second pillow out of it.

I was looking around our home for something new to go on the wall above the couch and that's when I rediscovered these prints of my boys. Years ago these pictures where hanging above each of my son's beds, but ever since I took them down they've just been stored away in a closet. I was filled with love the moment I came across them and so I decided to hang them up on the wall in our living room.

I left up my DIY picture ledge but because I was no longer using it for picture frames, I decided to add a row of white tealight candles on it so that it still served a purpose.

More greenery was added to the crate tray on the coffee table, aka, my grandma's trunk.

Okay, now moving across the room you may see our entryway.

Again I brought lots of flora to get that pop of inexperienced, however I also searched our library for all of the green books to incorporate within the bookshelf as nicely. Books are some other simple manner to feature color into your own home.

I picked up the moss protected branches within the mountains whilst camping over Mother's day weekend. I simply thought that they had been actually cool.

On the opposite aspect of the dwelling room is the eating room.

I attached this large green hook to the wall and hung a lantern from it. Inside the lantern is a strand of battery operated string lights. I have the lights timed to turn themselves on every evening at six. It looks really magical lit up at night.

To be sincere, I had to truly searched around our domestic to locate inexperienced decor, and so I quite a lot used each green component that I very own :) In this region I actually have a green and white striped rug, a inexperienced pillow, a inexperienced bottle, a folded inexperienced tablecloth, a plant, and of path the green hook.

But only a few colourful items is all that is needed to sincerely exchange the entire look of a space.

As for the eating room, I've set out a few a laugh tropical region mats that I've had for ages, after which I snooped across the kitchen for more green items.

I get questions about THIS lemon tree all of the time and people are usually surprised to find out that it's faux. I once had a real lemon tree but it didn't make it, so it's nice that this one looks real but last forever.
