My favorite color in the world is green and for whatever reason, I couldn’t really explain why (other than the fact that it feels “fresh” to me) until a few days ago. A friend of mine from work, Leila Khalil’s wedding was featured in the Spring 2012 edition of Martha Stewart Weddings. I had a feeling her favorite color was green after visiting her office, but in the eight page spread, she explained why she chose to incorporate its many hues into her absolutely stunning nuptials: “I LOVE the outdoors and all things GREEN. The color symbolizes GROWTH and RENEWAL which is what weddings are all about.” I don’t think she could have summed it up any more perfectly. In the spirit of the great outdoors and this little blast of gorgeous summer we recently had in California (that has now seemed to have disappeared), here are a few of my favorite fresh green pieces this season.

Thanks, Lola! I couldn’t agree more 🙂
I’m crazy about green too! And these things are amazing, especially the lamp! x
Thanks, Johanne! I actually was in search of a green lamp a while back and that’s how this post got started. I think it’s just perfect for any space 🙂
I think that is why I like blue so much. It reminds me of nature and is calming and energetic at the same time 🙂
Lovely picks!
I LOVE blue too 🙂 Our living space is blue/green and no matter what I find in other color schemes, I just can’t trade in our beach hues. Xo
Yes! My favorite color of all time too! Your friend’s office is amazing. How do I get a job THERE? 😉

So much in common! We’re going to have to sit down for a drink one of these days, lady 🙂 Her office is aaaamazing. Looks even better in person than it does on the screen. Such an inspiring space… it just made me want to get down to work.
That stove/range is AHmazing! Hahha, love the price tag too!

HAHA… I saw the estimate on that range and cringed a little, but it was so fabulous I had to put it up. La Cornue = ultimate luxury.
Loving your blog! And the photos you compiled together is lovely. Looks very Mod vintage, which is awesome. I dream about having those green stripes wallpaper decorating my kitchen walls 🙂
