{summer}

. . . fresh blades of dewy grass, whispers of rustling leaves . . . it's summertime, and I'm happily wearing my strappy sandals . . .

Lovely. I'm a huge fan of green. Actually, it's my favorite color. I read you every day and realized after reading Jessica's comment that I do not have you on my blogroll. So I'm adding you too :)

What a great post! Really fresh the kind of post that make me redo an entire room in shades of green- I'll have to stop short of buying houseplants though as they commit suicide within weeks!

I adore the first two images! There is just something about the color green that is so refreshing and relaxing. Love it!

The second pic is my petite Toronto dining room -- for a story I produced on antique market makeovers for STYLE AT HOME mag, where I am Senior Design Editor. FYI, wallpaper is Barbara Barry, table, chairs and chandelier are all vintage. Yellow vase is from IKEA. Love this look, but ultimately the chairs were super uncomfortable -- we had to banish them. J'adore green and it is everywhere in my house...Thanks for nice comments about my work/house.
