COLOR CRUSH: Chartreuse

If you haven't gathered from the new site....  Chartreuse is one of my all time favorite colors! Hard to play favorites when I love them all butttttt it's up there. I have to use spell check every time I spell it but that doesn't make me love her any less. Anytime a chartreuse fabric selection is made in a scheme at work, my coworkers look my way. I take it as a compliment every time! The best shades of chartreuse are punchy, a little dirty, and used unexpectedly. Let's take a look at some recent chartreuse saves...

A photo I took at the Pineider store in Florence this August. Been dying to recreate this trim and wall color pairing ever since. 

Another great use of Chartreuse, but this time on the doors.

Adding a Chartreuse closet to the bucket list. Looks great with the blue painted floors.

I love how Chartreuse pairs with natural colors. Also, the moireeeee, i die.

One of the best colors for funky stationary and paper.

SEESeeeeeee

If you insist on solid draperies.... go Chartreuse.

Chartreuse doesn't just belong in interiors. This Valentino runway look makes me want to paint this color way ASAP.

Example 2!!

Determined to jump on the colored tights trend.

The perfect backdrop color.

A color straight from nature.

Looks especially good in silk. This House and Parties lampshade is Chartreuse done right.

Also does wonders in velvet.

My first big girl purchase...  a Chartreuse sofa. Chartreuse, I love you.
