Lucky with Irish Green

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Whether it's an Asian-inspired decor, Eco-decorating, or retro, green is lucky today.
Ballard Designs hit a homerun with this easy-on-the-eye way to introduce green to a room.
Sarah Richardson of Design Inc. in Toronto, Ontario somehow has this way of taking a piece of used furniture, slapping a coat of paint on it, adding a little bit of bling, et voila!  She does it again.  No one can pull off a green bathroom like Sarah.  We love it!

Add these cute little accessories to finish off the look. Plates can be found at Anthropologie and this adorable sticker wall clock was found at Dutch By Design.


Switching gears to a retro look.  This Ascaso Dream retro green coffee/espresso machine should jazz up your morning.
Going Green is unquestionably here to stay.  The below "Living Wall" is a great way to not only be green but also to bring the outdoors in.  Green Over Grey is a local Vancouver company reducing the footprint of design on the earth.  We can't wait to install one of these.

Enjoy your St. Patrick's Day!
