Falling for Forest Green

October 25, 2018 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 7 Comments

Good morning. I hope that your week is going well. If you were the lucky winner of the lottery, congratulations. As for the rest of us, it’s back to work. It has been a crazy week in the news and it has me feeling moody and wanting to hunker down in the safety of my home.

I have always been drawn to dark, moody rooms, they remind me of the beautiful and comfortable country houses in the UK, and I think they look more cosy and comfy than a stark white pallet.

Doesn’t this bath look like a wonderful place to while away an hour or two with a good book while soaking in this gorgeous copper tub? I might need a few more candles but otherwise I could easily soak in here every night.

This snug little library is perfect. What more do you need than a comfortable couch and a wall of books?

If you are not a fan of a dark painted room you might enjoy a room decorated with this beautiful wallpaper instead?

Or perhaps you just like a touch of the green? If so you might prefer this room with two plush velvet sofas. I will admit I have never thought to pair dark green and grey but it is a beautiful combination.



Forest green is the perfect color to add a touch of the season to your house or wardrobe. At this time of year there is velvet ribbon for your packages, pillows for your favorite chair, candles to cast a warm glow on your party,  and even boots to keep your feet warm.

I love to add a hint of green to my decor with a big pine wreath, garland for the fireplace and springs of holly cut from my trees tucked into my vintage green transfer-ware sugar bowl. And to my wardrobe I add as much black-watch plaid as I can, including my shoes, scarf, pj’s and whatever else I can find, although not all at once.  It is my favorite way to add a touch of green to my wardrobe.

Are you a fan of forest or hunter green? Or do your prefer brighter, lighter colors? Share your favorite way to add a touch of this beautiful color to your holiday.

Have a great day.

    Gorgeous. I'm in an open concept home right now that limits the possibilities. I cannot wait to be back in a century home in the city in a couple of years to be able to play with paint! Until then, throw pillows…

    Green is one of my favorite colors. Green to me is nature. Remember hunter green and mauve?

    It's so funny our our views sway. I used to be so in love with greens, then shifted into the blues. But lately, I've been coming back, I love the forest greens, olive greens and die over a great sage green. Even during my blue phases {which I am still partial too} there was a little grey/ green tint to the pale blue I painted my dining room {I call it dacquiri ice, after the beautiful Baskin & Robbins sorbet I've always loved}; and the stormy blue in my bedroom {so peaceful}. I love the dual green couches, so dramatic and inviting. Lovely post, just started following you on Pinterest. ~Emily

Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank y Grief is just love with no place to go.” Thank you my friends for all of your kind messages, thoughts and prayers. Even though it feels as if we are all alone in our pain it is a balm to the broken heart to have you walking along side of us. #grief #greiving #thankyou #kindness #friendship #kindwords
This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
