Spring Green
It is the most beautiful day here in Charlottetown.....it's hard to believe it's only March 12! It feels more like late April and is beginning to green up.
So, I have green on my mind today. And have had for the past few weeks. I know Pantone has named Tangerine Tango as the color of the year, but everywhere I look, I am seeing green............particularly in the most recent issues of decorating magazines, including House Beautiful and Country Home.
You really have to check out the new issue of Country Home.......the green on the cover is absolutely luscious! This first picture has the green wall I am referring to, but this image does not do it justice....if anyone knows what the color is, please let me know!
Enjoy!

Board and Batten Interiors
Remember when board and batten was used mainly as home siding and/or in Arts and Crafts interiors?
No more! It can be found anywhere in a home, as you will see below, and incorporated into decor by the most influential designers
A touch of board and batten here and there adds texture and dimension to walls, as well as a hint of cottage.
It can be a natural, eco and very attractive addition to new or existing homes!

What's a cottage without beadboard?
Love beadboard!
When it was first used a very long time ago, it was considered an inexpensive wall treatment and used mainly in bathrooms and kitchens.
All that has changed, however, and it is now used everywhere - walls, ceilings, living rooms, family rooms, bedrooms, kitchens - wherever your heart desires.
And it always looks great! It not only adds texture and dimension to rooms, but also adds a little bit of country whether in a most humble cottage or a very elegant home.

Outdoor Living
Getting back to summer thoughts, as I mentioned last week, I will continue with some outdoor living ideas.
I'm afraid I got a little distracted with those weekend art posts!
This week I will concentrate on weekend getaways again.
