My Apartment Fell in a Bucket of Fresh Cut Grass

It all started with dirty walls and an inspiration photo. 

I was planning on painting and had been toying with the idea of some accent walls, particularly a green one in my living room/dining room area.  Then along came my friendly neighbor, lover of adventures in color, who found this inspiration photo in an HGTV magazine.

She was lobbying for not just an accent wall but green cupboards too.  My cupboards were about three different colors of wood and not in the best of condition. In the magazine, I loved it!  Painting over my actual wood - agonizing decision.  I'd like to tell you that I had just dipped my paintbrush in the bucket of "fresh cut grass" when my neighbour reached out her foot and tripped me, forcing my hand but she's far to nice for a trick like that!   Somehow, with my full consent, my apartment fell into a bucket of "fresh cut grass" and I'm still deciding how I feel about it.

My very own version of "The Big Green Monster."

 

 

Just enough paint to do the bottom and then decide about the top.

I found this cool material shortly after returning to Niger and decided it would be fun in my office/guest bedroom.  So I decided to go for some bold color in here too.  I may still be deciding about my big green monster but I can tell you this, I'm sold on this room!

 

So what do you think, should I go all out and do the top cupboards too?  And how about taming the green monster - any decorative thoughts?  Feel free to drop by and see it in person. :)
