It's Not Easy Being Green (Or Is It?)
I can't help but have visions of green on this first day of Spring! Here's a bit of green to inspire you to welcome the outdoors in. As the grass turns greener and we're able to open our windows and once again watch the sweet breeze dance with our curtains. Consider a bit of green to energize your home and your soul; much like barefoot walk in the grass. (Although I'd save that walk in the grass for a hot summer day)
Happy Spring!

How can I talk about green without mentioning this:
Yes,The Emerald City.
Thank you Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer for your Technicolor dream. How can you not be inspired to think green as the scenes within the Emerald City's walls unfold? Talk about making monochromatic work..Whenever I watch The Wizard of Oz it takes me back to when I was a little girl sprawled out on my Nana's scratchy wool rugged floor in front of her big floor model tv viewing this movie for the first time. That magical moment when the movie went from black and white to dazzling color I think my eyes must've doubled in size widening to take it all in. Who hasn't thought that visiting Munchkinland was truly like stepping into a dream? I always loved being creative and coloring with my Crayola box of 64 colors (including built in crayon sharpener) and I truly believe after that moment of seeing those colors explode on the screen my creativity blossomed like that field of wild poppies. From that moment on my art was all about drama. I realized how surroundings effected people's moods. The happy colors of Munchkinland, the magical green of the Emerald City, the dreary darks of the Witches Castle, even the puff of red smoke when the Witch exited a scene and I could come out from hiding behind my pillow evoked feelings. Isn't that why we decorate, design, and create? Isn't it all about creating emotions and feelings? How do we feel when we step into a room? Do we feel comfortable wearing a certain color? What is that piece of art expressing to you? Embrace those feelings and rise to the occasion. If something makes you feel good than wear it, live with it, commit to it. The simplest thing can make all the difference so when you're planning your space keep those feelings in mind and I guarantee you are on your way to making your outcome a success. With that I think you will find yes, it is easy being green, or pink, or red, or purple, or orange, or...you get the idea; feel it, be it, go for it! Spring into action! (pun intended)
