Greening Up For Spring

Since the portrait over the fireplace plays a dominate role in this room I decided to play up the green coloring a bit more.

 I've added a few bits of green here and there and a couple of different deco accents- most of which I already had in my stash which is always fun! 

Lots of pics so hang on! 

 I wanted something lighter in color to perk up the sofa.

 The green pillows grabbed my attention because they were the right shade of glreen to work with my room and I liked the botanical theme.  I tried some green pillows from Pier 1 but they were way off in
color and the texture just didn't work well with my fabric.  I have seen some pretty darn expensive pillows since I started looking- I'm tickled that these were only $19.99 each.

 The creamy white and gold pillow had me because of the chevron design. 

 They have these interesting little yarn patches every so often that I liked and big tassels.

  I added a new oyster white velvet pillows and green throws to the recliners.

This also layers well with the sofa pillows.

 This was out in the kitchen on the etagere but I decided to bring it back out here again.  I love elephants!  It's a candle holder but it works with the green boxwood ball too.

 I have had a pair of bronze stork statues (from Bombay before they closed in the U.S.)  Since I have my sister in-law's art on the wall that focuses on Lake Michigan, beach sand, and grasses I decided to see how the storks would look in the room.  I think it's a good tie-in.

I took this picture of a lighthouse near Frankfort, MI 4 years ago called the Point Betsie Lighthouse which adds another level to tie-in with the portrait above the tv.  There's a much better picture of it "here" at a previous post. 

 We chose a little green matting accent when we had the picture framed.  

 I found these two little green vases and thought I'd give them a try under the tv mixed in with the little stereo speakers.

 I'm pleased with the touch of green here and it's coordination to the picture.

 This is the other stork that goes with the first one I showed.  I love the graceful stance these storks have.  I also just used these in the post just before this one for a tablescape.

The coffee table got a little sprucing up too.

 I love little decorative boxes!  Again the bold chevron design caught my eye!

 I moved this lidded bowl over to the vignette and liked it here immediately.

 Last year I got the big handled pot and put it on the dining table.  The other day I got the idea to give it a try here.

 I added the fern after a few days to see how it would look.   

 I had put the orchid away last fall so I decided to bring it back out and it found a new home here on the cabinet top.

 I've shown the orchid before- I fell in love with the pot it came with.

 We're having a lovely sunny day today.  The temps are warmer and the snow is melting…again.  This prompted my picture taking!

 The floral print on the green pillows has a 70's vibe to them.  This will be fun for spring and summer!

One more picture since it got even brighter in here!  We've had so many gray days we cherish the sunny ones!

So do you think I've "springified" the room?
