Spring Green is such a fresh color and I see it all over town and blogland. Really versatile and goes with anything. So I thought I could add a little to the living room for a change. I really wanted to do it without spending any money. You know how you drag everything out that you have with that color in it and try to make something, well, it became a little contrived and really tacky.
This is what I put together.
Nothing wrong with the cloches and my Faberge Eggs and the little Magnifying Glass.
The green in this egg is wonderful too.
So is the green in the Faberge plate.
The problem is the swan and the green plate.
The green charger and the green bow on the swan are just plain tacky. That definitely needs to change.
Now I know that less is more and simple is best, I just got carried away.
Simple candles work so much better.
Ok, I can live with this now.
Sometime I think we try too hard and it is just all wrong. When you look at something and it just doesn’t seem right, then it probably isn’t. I like this so much better.
