The Ease of Green

With Summer 2012 officially off the ground those with aesthetic inclinations are eager for new and interesting ways to introduce the essence of the season into their home.  While entertaining takes on a more relaxed tone during these sun-drenched months attention to detail and a freshly attended environment are never out of fashion. Having witnessed firsthand the dazzling colors being offered up by the design industry during this spring’s High Point Furniture Market I’m embracing (and suggesting) green in all its varied shades and tones  as an important player in our living and entertaining environments this summer. Whether you’re updating your wardrobe, refreshing a living room (dazzle with a fresh coat of Benjamin Moore Perennial #405) or looking for a new accessory to interject a shot of color; green is where it’s at this summer.  I can’t wait to see how you use green in your home this summer.  Snap a picture and share it; I’ll be doing the same thing as the summer rolls along. Here are a few images to stir your imagination.
