My favorite thing for this Friday is decorating with lime green, black and white.
First off, I created this color scheme! Hate me, call me a liar… but I did, I swear! (I really didn’t) About 6 years ago I sold some things on Ebay for a friend of mine. In exchange for the Ebay work, she made me these window toppers.
I told her… “I want black and white toile triangles with lime green piping”… she said “ch-wha…are you sure?” She drove over with the fabric a couple days later and I said “yep, that’s it!” I still don’t think she was convinced until she saw the finished product. (My photos show how much dust has accumulated on these things *eeww*. The rod is a closet rod covered in fabric and a finial painted black screwed on the end.
I found this mirror a year later while junkin
I made this two Christmases (what’s the plural of Christmas?) ago with Jen, a Christmas card holder (but it’s up all year)
and of course my whole Christmas decor was in MY “theme” too
I found these pots and candle holders at the 99 Cent Store
(note on this table… we just ate dinner and it was wet… I know bad photo taking time, but I just got my camera back and I was snap happy. As for the chairs at this table, you may have noticed that they are all different colors. This was done back when Friends was popular and Monica had mismatched chairs like this in her kitchen…
Well, It’s not 1999 anymore and I am ready to paint them - they are going to be black. I am also going to paint my mantle (the ugly brown one above) black too. Another side note, my entire kitchen used to be funky like Monica’s, I used fruit patters and bright colors and now I am transitioning to something a little more grown up -more on that later.)
Well, I like me some lime, black and white… What’s your favorite decorating theme?

DITTO, love that EXACT color theme… But I change often, so for now it’s black, white, and green… Before that I loved all things red, still do, but have repainted my red and stored away most of my red decor, although my kitchen still has red and green old wooden handled cooking utensils, and pictures with those colors… For the most part though I have gone over to the dark side {black}

I’ve always liked green. But not lime green, more of a garden green, like the color of plants and flower foliage. I like reds too- different shades of red. And black is always the best color to add to any trio. Black is classy. Black always works!
