- Inspiration for my palette:
- I found the green patterned side chair several years ago, and it lived in the living room in my former apartment. But, when I moved into this home, I realized it would fit best in the dining room, and it became the cornerstone for the entire palette. I have always loved the interplay between greens and purples, so that was the most natural combination.
- Colors used in my room
- The walls are Lowe's Valspar "Homestead Parlor Sage." The trim is Benjamin Moore's "Snow White," and I hand painted the china cabinet in midnight purple.
- Tips for using color successfully
- Don't use color just for the sake of using color. If a color doesn't speak to you, or strike a certain chord with you, then it isn't right for you. You should be madly in love with the colors you choose; after all, you have to live in them every single day.

sorry if i am being blind, but where is the green patterned side chair?
This is very pretty. The color is very close to my living room, and it makes me happy every day.
@maike - I think the green patterned side chair is by the floor lamp. You can only see a corner of it. And that's IF that's the chair that is mentioned.
I love the colors! So calming and elegant. The chandelier is beautiful too!
Love her comments about not using color for colors sake ... but because it speaks to you.
Love the colors, love the room. But ... why is the table so tiny?
Super
Lovely. I have a similar color scheme in my dining and living room. Green walls with purple accents.
I've yet to find it!! LOL!
I like that there are some traditional homes in this contest - you've done a good job of keeping it un-fussy and fresh. I agree, though - where is the chair? :)
Although. I'm not sure this is a cool room. Yes, it's green, but everything about it seems warm to me.
