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.

If you would like to see more of my favorite green color check out My Color Board on Pinterest where you will find not only green but many other beautiful colors too.

    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
