My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
This is such a great color combo!
Me Too! In fact I just bought a darling emerald green chinoiserie pedestal to put towels on in my bathroom. Love it with the soft blue, I have several images of this combo on my pinterest boards . Just beautiful. Kathysue
I’ve been very attracted to emerald lately, but am having a hard time finding it, especially in fabrics. The greens all seem very yellow-based. I love it here with the soft blue. Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the combo. Great painting.
A gorgeous palette pairing the soft blue with a saturated Emerald. Elegant!

Such a great colour combo, I love the pillows in particular on the first picture – what a great shot of refined colour into that room!
LOVE IT!!! I am in the process of re-doing my living room in these colors… I am including variations of both of these colors in little accent pieces from a deep gray-green to bright apple green, and then powder blue to deep aqua… my background is a light taupe color (on the walls) instead of white – because I have stained wood trim, I can’t really do all of that white – but I love the way it looks.
I know it sounds a little crazy but all of these colors go so well together that it really looks like variations of the same color…know what I mean? anyway I love your blog, and thanks for the great eye-candy on this post.
DID YOU paint that picture????? it is gorgeous… great job!!
I have to go back and read more thoroughly, I just got excited when I saw the colors and had to comment!! I took a cheap-o dollar store “painting” I had hanging in my living room, that was done in all earth tones, and painted over it with various shades of green and powder blue – it looks fabulous!!! (felt a bit guilty altering someone else’s art, but did it anyway, lol!!) Again, thanks for the inspiration, and your GREAT blog!!!!!
o.k. I promise I am not a stalker – but just went back to re-read, and you DID paint that painting!!!!! AND it is for sale!!! It is gorgeous, and matches my new living room colors exactly – background is almost exactly my taupe (greige) wall color, just a little darker!!!
So, I AM on the right track, if a great artist/designer such as yourself chose those same colors!!!!! YAY, me!!! need to start saving, I would love to buy that painting…..
THANKS!!! you guys are AWESOME!!!
