Going Green

I would be remiss if I didn't post something in honor of my Irish ancestry. Well, part of my ancestry anyway. Like most Americans I have an eclectic mix, but I do know about my green roots. I have to say that I tend towards the paler shades of green and the more blue in them the better, but for today I will try to stay true to the more traditional greens. Kelly, olive, emerald, lime, forest and just one turquoise since I love it! Of course, I like to tell my tales in bedroom pictures, so the below shots run from saturated in green or just the tiniest touch.

One of my favorite memories from childhood was getting my school supplies every year. My favorite thing was the big box of Crayola® crayons. I would spend hours arranging and rearranging the colors to suit my fancy. My favorite color of all was "Sea Green". As you can tell by my website - it is still my favorite color! I have added the link to the history of Crayola® colors, it's quite interesting. The photo above makes me really wish I were in NYC for today's celebration. How cool is this dining area in The Crosby Street Hotel?

This is one of their guest rooms. By the way, the hotel is very "green" environmentally speaking.


Again, I would be remiss if I didn't add one of my own designs to celebrate the day!
