I LOVE green. All shades of green. I think its one of my most favorite colors aside from HOT pink.
My office was finished a while ago, but I just realized I never shared the finished pics, so here they are!
When I first, decided to change our office from the junk all hot mess into something a bit more grown up and fun, I was met with resistance. Especially once I showed Jason the shade of green I wanted for the room...
His initial response? Hell to the no! But me being me, I pouted and whined and nagged for a few days until I FINALLY got my way :) (Yes, I take full responsibility that this is where Madison gets it from. However, I do understand that being on the receiving end is no where near as fun!)
As he rolled on the first few swipes of paint, I won't lie. I almost crapped myself. This was a big oops, but I so could NOT admit my wrong, so I just kept my thoughts to myself and PRAYED that it would pull together as I imagined...
The paint went up, Jason added a trim piece under the builder's crown molding to give the illusion of thicker molding (super cheap fix and gives a pretty big impact!!), and then I had to put my pouty pants back on until he agreed to build me the Ipex book shelf I found on Ana White's web page...
I found some funky and fun panels for my windows, a few accessories, and a new desk and chair and we were pretty much done. My final touches were the silhouettes my friend Alissa made (and I just mounted them on scrapbook paper). They were PERFECT and just what I wanted! I LOVE the room now! Its calming yet modern. Clean yet comfy.
I would like to add a comfy chair and get a plant that is HARD to kill (no green thumb here) for my grandmothers plant stand. When I stumble upon them I will know it! So, what do ya think?

Looks awesome Staci! I want to know more about the crown molding stuff. Along with my frontier problems, I also have crown molding problems! lol
Awww yeah... I feel cool that my name was mentioned! haha. I love the room. I love the glowing effect it has from the outside of your house, too! You have great taste in color and design!
Gor. Ge. Ous!
I LOVE that shade of green! At this very moment, I have a sample of multi-sized glass circular tile in that shade of green above my kitchen sink. I am trying it out for a backsplash. I <3 it, but my hubs is not convinced. His exact words, "Um, that's gonna be a LOT of green, honey." Translation: "Oh, HELL no. IhateitIhateitIhateit!!!" We'll see who gets the last laugh!
