Go Green

"I wanted to do an all-green space," says Barbara. Inspired by a color discovered in a historic house, the space is swathed in a soothing shade. Even the console tables are painted the same color with a gray wash on top. Malachite boxes and green glass lamps continue the palette.

Walls, ceiling, and trim: Aged Mint (IB77)
Available at Ralph Lauren Paint
