Green With Envy

This year, Pantone's trend forecasters named Greenery the color of the year; and it has been. Green is everywhere. Whether you take it literally and add lush plants to your space, or go the more subtle route of adding green artwork, this color will make your space feel refreshing and natural.

Minted.com has quickly become my obsession. Of course I discovered the site while surfing Pinterest at 2am. All jokes aside, this company began as a personalized gift website and has recently grown into selling a refreshingly curated selection of art prints. Adding this print (framed or on a canvas) will add just the right amount of green to any space and makes for a lively over-the-couch statement piece.

I love plants. But, I probably have the brownest thumb out there. So, it took me a lot to give in to my roommate and buy plants for our apartment. After about a week of not-so-subtle hints, I agreed to add some plants to our place and hopefully create some good vibes to help us survive the winter shut-in. Saturday afternoon I found myself at our local hardware store: Crest Hardware, where I got super overwhelmed by the number of plants in existence, found an employee who showed me how to pot a plant, and fell in love with a Marble Queen (pictured here and appropriately named "Queenie").

Here it is! My latest pride and joy: A 72" Eddy Couch in Green Velvet from West Elm. If you've seen me in the month, you've probably had to endure my boasting about this beauty. Although it took a while to be delivered (the price you pay for customizing the fabric), the wait was beyond worth it. Both the rich color and texture add an element of luxury to my living room.
