We're always drawn to the color green, but until recently we never thought of a vibrant shade of the color playing well in our home. When we saw this photo, however, it reminded us of a great use of green we'd seen recently.
We wish we could figure out a way to replicate the subtle undulations of color as seen on the old building; it seems to be a result of some fading and perhaps shadows created by the peeling areas. Regardless, we think the application of the color as seen in the kitchen maintains that kind of organic spirit when paired with natural wood and white.

That green kitchenette is beautiful
I painted my ugly kitchen cabinets that color! It looks great!
I am getting discouraged seeing all this green. I know home design has cyclical trends just as fashion does, but when I chose my new apartment's colors a couple months ago- green being the main accent color- because I thought it was a little different. I don't see many homes with green...or at least I didn't until now! Now it's even plastered all over the Pottery Barn catalogue :( Oh well, I guess that's the way it goes...
FatalFlower - You're just ahead of the trends.

Perhaps a similar effect could be had by using crackle paint on portions of the wall(s).
I would not want to see a whole house that color---unless it is down the lake or beach maybe---depends on the style of the house. Combined with a lot of white might be ok.
Anyone have suggestions for similar paint colors?
