I have painted a corner of my apartment green. Ace Hardware calls the color "Tom's Favorite":
Painting was time consuming, but not really all that hard. The hardest part was picking the color.
Actually the color is quite a statement for me. I've been living with bland apartment and dorm walls for over ten years now. This bold, rich green says "I'm tired of blandness. I'm tired of sameness. I want something different! It's the perfect accent for the room.
In the photo you can also see my rug, which I like immensely, along with a beautiful wall hanging on the left. It was embroidered by hand. I'm also going to get a William H. Johnson print for the space above the huge bag sofa. I've got some other spaces to fill too, though I don't yet know what I'll get for them.
I really like the bag sofa, along with the nook of pillows and textiles underneath the window. One of the pillows is from a seller on Etsy, pillowtalk123, who makes simply incredible works of art.
I'm happy my home is coming together so nicely! It's a nice cozy space for socializing and for relaxing alone.
