Green House in Spain

Greens in many shades and a variety of textures and fabrics for this warm and busy house in
Segovia. Even though I'm not a fan of wallpaper as I feel it's a bit overpowering (and hard to remove!), these rooms have a strong character and are full of interesting pieces.
Take the tour with me and let me know what you think!

Emerald and Black

It's official!  My new favorite shade of my favorite color is Emerald!  I love how current the depth and brilliance of this color feels right now, especially when paired with black.  Take a look...

Check out my interview with HGTV designer Martin Amado!

I always like it when I get to ask the experts design questions that seem basic enough, but we tend to forget. They always leave me saying "ohhhh yeahh..." Well I was offered the opportunity to ask Martin a few questions and came up with a few that either I always seem to need help with or that I get a lot from readers. Here are my questions...


1. For those who love to rearrange and change things around in their home a lot, what’s the most cost efficient way to “change” up your décor? In other words, what décor change gets you the most bang for your buck?

2. If one can only make one purchase or change to improve the eco-friendliness or green rating of their home, what singular purchase/installment would you suggest?

3. What is the most valuable lesson learned from a renovation/redecorating “mistake” you made in the beginning of your career that others can learn from?

4. This is one I get a lot - a young family moves into an old home with great original architectural elements – for example – dark wood paneling, floors, and molding. If painting or altering the wood in anyway is 100% out of the question, what design tips and tricks do you suggest for adding some youth, funk, style, and modern flair? How do you lighten up the space and “ungrannify” it with decorating elements other than paint?


Watch to hear me ask Martin these questions and to hear his really great answers:



Thanks again to Martin for his wise words of wisdom! To see some of Martin's fab work or to learn more about him, go to his website.

Proud to be Green!

People often ask me how I came up with the name "Green Room Interiors" for my business.  There are two reasons:  First of all,  I love to remake and repurpose existing furniture pieces!  Not only great for the environment, but great for the wallet (hey, isn't that a third "green"!?) And, more importantly, green is my favorite color! I think I've used every shade of green there is  - hunter, olive, lime, celery, apple and fern - depending on the decade!


Right now I have my sights set on kelly - it looks so fresh and bold, especially when used with lots of white!


I'm in love with this Meg Braff master bedroom.  








My favorite color to pair with green is pink!














But green is really a neutral and plays nice with lots of different colors










And green in the bedroom is so restful...








How do you like your green?
