Musings About Leprechauns, Green and St.Pat’s Day

Written by faith

Growing up in a family that loves ALL things Irish, my memories abound around St. Paddy’s Day. On that day I donned something green, an Irish button, ate corned beef and sent celebratory cards. I especially enjoy the legend of the Leprechaun. The ‘wee folk’ make mischief so if you capture one, be very careful. You will have 3 wishes. As an interior designer in Seattle, I still LOVE green…and have some wishes.

My 3 wishes are GREEN for sure but interpreted differently!

Three or more of these will be JUST fine with me.

These days I’m loving Converse, Trina Turk for Schumacher and Anthropologie to name a few.

 

Next, I’m focused on Benjamin Moore greens.. an abundant offering of them is available.

Benjamin Moore Greens for March

Add some green to your home with Benjamin Moore

From left to right the color names are: Stem Green, Lewiville Green, Fresh Cut Grass, Cedar Green, Mesquite. I like the vibrant Stem Green for a laundry room, a kitchen with white cabinets, an accent wall. Where would you use it?
Reuse, Reinvent, Recycle
The go-to message: Reclaim furniture from your family that lingers in attics or basements. Check out an estate sale auction. My clients did this with an early 20th century settee family heirloom. It was in pieces, horsehair filling smelled awful but now it’s a useful family treasure. I used Cowtan and Tout Baudelaire Stripe.
