Craving Green, Beautiful Homes, and Inviting Verandahs: Friday Finds
Our garden is bursting with colorful flowers and ripening vegetables and I couldn’t be happier. I love this time of year and sometimes I enjoy simply standing in the garden watching the butterflies and inhaling the smell of the nearby tomato plants. I’m taking photos of my flower beds this weekend and will share them soon. Until then, let’s check out this week’s Friday Finds.
Lately I’ve been craving the color green, so I was happy find a post about the 20 best olive green paint colors. How do you feel about the color?
Next up, you don’t want to miss this collection of 18 pretty country verandahs from Australia. Australians are known for their love of outdoor living spaces.
Middle of summer is the perfect time to enjoy a little coastal decor and Scout and Nimble shared a couple of absolutely charming coastal cottages. I’m partial to the one designed by S.R. Gambrel. I keep going back and looking at it!
Lark and Linen is a blog I used to read regularly but I don’t read blogs as much as I used to. I rekindled my fondness for Lark and Linen when I stumbled across this beautiful decorator’s home that Jacquelyn featured recently.
Enjoy these 5 tips on how to make a small room feel larger. I follow most of these tips myself, although I did opt for a dark wall color in my family room several years ago. But that’s changing as soon as I choose a new color.
I hope you can get out and enjoy the weekend. My home town has an art fair this weekend that I’m looking forward to. I need a couple pieces of wall art for my living room that I’ve been redecorating. Wish me luck!
Since green is my favorite color, it would be hard for me to have too much of it! And, I’m really comfortable with mixing greens since there are so many shades of it in nature. I have never wanted to live in a part of the country where it’s brown even though it has its own beauty. Green just signifies life to me.
Love the green paints, especially the Farrow & Ball French Gray…but maybe it’s really that photo. I want to climb that staircase! I was swept away by the Australian verandas and also am swooning over the detail in that one photo of the S.R. Gambrel cottage…the one with the desk, the stool, the mirror! I think I may have to rig up something to hang a mirror like that one. Thanks for the inspiration!
Loved the verandas, so many pretty ideas. I have a screened-in porch and I’m there most mornings until it gets too hot. I love watching nature from my porch. Thanks for the inspiration.
