Green Energy

Spring is starting to show its early signs here in Munich and everything is starting to come back to life.  I love this time of year where everything feels fresh and energetic again!  Here are a few green-infused tables settings, rooms and more...

I love the organic feel of this setting.  This reminds me very much of San Francisco dining at its best:  very sophisticated, yet also natural and unintimidating.
Oh, and slate placemats...very cool. 

I think I'd add some chalk for some fun doodling by my guests during dessert!

This would be a really easy tablescape to make, using anything from

your garden or a nearby forest. 

It instantly spring wakes up the room!

I wouldn't usually put blue and green together like this, but here it looks wonderful!

This combination of chocolate brown and mossy green, mixed with a

variety of textures for interest, is always a winning combination. 

The dark wood is such a nice contrast to the soft greens...feels a bit colonial to me.

I have a similar chandelier (set on a dimmer switch of course) and I LOVE it!

Look at how pretty the greens are against the mercury glass - so nice.

I actually have a large green bottle similar to the one shown here,

purchased at the local flea market that I wrote about here.   

I am going to miss that market when we move back to the US!

I love how the green vase pops against the neutral sofa and the ikat pillows.

This image inspired me to hunt down some ikat fabric on our

trip to Turkey that I blogged about here.

I'd love to do a bolster pillow in this fabric for a guest room, teen girl's room or office.

I love the subtle European elegance of this table setting...

 Green always looks great with linen - it's the earthiness that they have in common.  I'd add a bit more interest though with some pillows, maybe in this fabric:

The green grasses in front of the fireplace bring the room to life. 

Without it, the room would fall flat.

 I'd love to do a spring-inspired room similar to this one, but I would

add a bit more brown and this Ophelia fabric:

OK, I know this room is mostly black and white,
but how stunning is that foliage outside the gorgeous window?? 

I would love to have this room to one side of my entryway. 

It's a good reminder to keep in mind how the outdoors "decorate" our interiors, too!

Happy Spring!
