Classic Green Checkered Curtain Designs

Red curtains make a powerful design statement, injecting energy, warmth, and drama into any space they adorn. This bold color choice ranges from deep burgundies that evoke old-world luxury to bright scarlets that create modern vibrancy. Red’s psychological impact—associated with passion, excitement, and warmth—makes it particularly effective in living rooms and dining areas where stimulating conversation is desired. The color’s intensity can be balanced with neutral walls and furnishings or embraced fully for maximalist impact. Practical considerations for red curtains include selecting fade-resistant fabrics, as bright reds can be susceptible to sunlight bleaching over time. Many high-quality red curtains use solution-dyed fabrics or UV-protective linings to maintain their rich hue. Red works beautifully with various materials—velvet for opulence, linen for casual elegance, or silk for formal spaces. When paired with metallic accents like gold or brass hardware, red curtains achieve especially luxurious effects. This versatile color can read as traditional in dark tones or contemporary in bright shades, adapting to diverse interior styles while always commanding attention.

A makeover using green paint and fabric! I painted my kitchen and did a minor facelift on it three years ago. The cabinets were maple and thats when I discovered Annie Sloan’s Chalk Paint and used that to make a drastic improvement. The photo above is the one I use on my blog to show off the painted cabinet results. It really was quite remarkable, the before and after! Before Last week I made another change to the kitchen using paint, but this time, not on the cabinets. As you may know I am working on a few projects around the house because Matthew Mead will be photographing the house for a feature in one of his new magazines due on new stands this spring! Anyway, back to the kitchen. Its been a fun way to add a little spark into a space that I love but was looking to add a bit more personality. Paint is the best way to do just that. Gina, my sales girl at Maison Decor has been coming over and helping me knock off some of the projects on my list. Colin watched as I stepped back to take a pic of the action. You can see that I am painting my backsplash and display areas apple green. Gina and I worked on either side of the kitchen and met in the middle. The color is Folk Art by Ben Moore, but mixed up at Lowes Home Improvement using their paint, Valspar Signature. At the time I had originally painted my cabinets white there was an inspiration photo of a kitchen that drove me to use purple transferware in the kitchen. That kitchen photo had a lime green backsplash and purple transferware. I have never forgotten that photo and this was the perfect time to see how it would turn out. Repainting the backsplash would not be out of the question if I decided it fell short. This kitchen is in Carolyn Westbrook’s book, The French Inspired Home. The mix of purple and green, the beadboard and white cabinetry, interesting lighting all added up to fabulousness! Look at all that transferware!! T
here was a butcher block with white legs too, very similar to what we had in our kitchen. The only thing I was leaving out was the antler collection, although I love the look. My kitchen is just too small to have all of that going on. My transferware collection continues to grow, and most recently I purchased two pieces from Matthew Mead. The platter over the stove is one of them, the other a serving bowl that I keep napkins in on the butcher block island. The green paint reads more electric than it actually does in person, because of the interior lighting. This kitchen is very dark and only has one window, so natural light is limited. At the windows I decided to change out the lace panels for buffalo check in green and white. The apple wreath I made at a Matthew Mead workshop looks perfect hanging in the kitchen window. A vintage drain board sink was the easy and inexpensive way to get the Farmhouse sink look. At $75 on Craigslist, it is one of my favorite improvements in our home and it was affordable too. Still tweaking things in here, but for the most part I love how fresh and fun it feels in here. And it all started with seeing an image in a book several years ago that I never forgot. Use magazine, book or online images to inspire decorating changes in your home. It won’t look the same as your inspiration photo, nor should it. But it will inspire design changes that are all about what make you happy. And isn’t that the point of decorating? On the other side of our tiny kitchen there is a dedicated coffee bar station. This is being worked on as we speak…and speaking of inspiration photos, check out this bookcase decorated with brown transferware. My passion for transferware has infected others as well. Gina has starting a collection as has my sister Ellen. I snapped an iphone pic of this bookcase to show Ellen this week how she could do the same thing in her house. The next thing I know, she says she wants to start a collection and would I help? Of course! Packages of brown transferware are on their way to her home right now. We bargain shopped online and found some incredible deals on Etsy. J&G Meakins Americana collection include this charming sugar bowl featuring Martha Washington. This transferware is ironstone, not china. It will be great for display or everyday use. Its more affordable than china, but still vintage and very decorative! Ellen’s home will be getting a room or two made over with my help soon, and you will see how this transferware will play a big part in the makeover. Winter time is a great time to do indoor projects in New England. So dig out those inspiration photos and get to work interpreting them to fit your home, and watch how fun and fabulous your rooms become!

Green Cottage Living

I will always love decorating with bright and festive red and green colors for Christmas, but in one room in our home I decided to do something a little different. Over the past few years I have slowly been adding soft blues and greens to our coastal inspired family room, so that would of course include the holiday decorations as well. I would still love to add a few things to the room, but for now it’s done and just in time to enjoy for the holidays. Here’s a peek! You can see t…
