What's Green And Sits Outside?

Take a quick look around the House of Bliss and you'll see that green is my favorite color.  I have green walls on all 3 levels of my house.  My kitchen countertops used to be green.  And all three bathrooms currently have green countertops in all different shades.

So in honor of St. Patrick's Day, I thought I'd share my love of green with you!

I can't seem to get enough of fake fruit, and not just in the kitchen.  These pears add some warmth to the living room on top of the coffee table.

The crystal bowl came from a yard sale.  Isn't she purrrrrrrdy?

You may recognize this cloche from Southern Living At Home.  I've always wanted one and was lucky enough to score one for just $5 at a flea market last year.

I added some small green apples.

I just added this arrangement to my island with the tray I found in my oven drawer.

Who doesn't want an apple tree in their kitchen!

And of course some green grapes.

A bowl o' pears on the kitchen table.

And some corded rope fruit on the kitchen hutch.

Got lots o' fake greenery too.  "They" say that fake greenery is so yesterday.  I say BRING IT!
(Who are "They" anyway?)

Big green balls in the foyer (cause size DOES matter!) - It's okay, I'm Irish, I'm aloud to be crude today.

A tree in the living room.

And in the family room.

And in the bedroom.

By now "They" must be horrified!

Fake fern.  I saw Rebecca from Adventures In Decorating do this alot and I loved it.  So I copied drew inspiration from her.

This little thing used to be something else entirely until I got my hands on it and began plucking away until all that was left was this.

And on the mantle.

At the top of the stairs I added this table that used to be in the basement.  I thought the birdie picture needed something under it.  And of course, more greenery.

Back up to the master bedroom.

Some green on green.
Can't really tell from the pic but the walls are a sage green color.

So there you have it.  My blissful Ode to St. Patrick.

And just in case you were wondering.............
