Aren't you just adoring the weather we've been having recently? Oh Spring, we love you. And we love your colors, too. Of course the bright, brilliant citron green that's been signaling new growth everywhere outside can be equally invigorating indoors, as well.
Follow Mother Nature (the queen of perfect color combos) and pair a vibrant light green with a small dose of earthy brown wood tones or a dark green. Throw in plenty of black and white so things don't get too loud or camouflage-y. For more inspiration, take a camera out in the world - you'll know doubt find plenty right now.

Lily, where was that outdoor picture taken? It's dreamy.
I would totally roll down that hill if I was a kid!
I want to walk up those steps into a beautiful spring day!
I'm drooling over that gorgeous photo. It's just so green, green, green. We won't be seeing green like that for awhile here in northern Minnesota, not after 5 inches of snow Tues & 5 more yesterday on top of the foot of snow still on the ground. Sigh.
Seriously, who is the photographer of the moss-hill path photo?
The mossy steps look like Japan to me!
wow!!! that first picture is just mouth-watering.
I love this color. I am obsessed with it indoors and out.
i LOVE that paint color in the second photo.
any idea what it is?
I, too, love the first photo and would love to get a copy of it. Is it available?
