I love all greens for some reason. The emerald greens look good with natural woods - remind me of the outdoors. I even love the apple greens and for some reason, I live in a sage green house.

Love these bit of green here, like seedlings after a rain -in a stole, pendant, ribbon or sash. Loved the portrait by Ivanoff. Lovely post.

Very tasteful pictures. I do like this green-black combination, I must say, especially the photo of the chair in front of the fireplace.

Green is my favorite color, and I notice you've featured a couple of photos where it's paired with the color purple. I've found that to be a very luxurious combination!

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
