Bringing the Outside In - HGTV 2010 Green Home

THIS POST IS FROM ROOM REMIX - THE BLOG .

They definitely brought the feeling of the outside into the HGTV Green Home!

In the living room, a branch sculpture by the fireplace, succulents on the mantle, a bouquet of greenery on the coffee table, tree stump side tables, and the art work adjacent to the entertainment center is reminiscent of tree bark. The organic looking chandelier over the dining table is an antique factory basket with a cotton duck cover, so it's not exactly from the outside, but has a very organic look and there's fresh fruit and paperwhites on the table.


The mirrors off of the kitchen look as if they're framed with stones or possibly shells, hard to tell, but either way it works. Green apples on the counter offer a bright pop of color.
A 3x4-foot grapevine wreath in the stairway to the lower level, and seashell art, an aloe plant and reclaimed wood mirror (not visible in this photo) in the sitting room.

A daisy print chair and leafy paper mache lamp in the sitting area of the master bedroom...

Sky blue paint, firefly fabric, viney embroidered pillows, a paper mache leaf lamp and greenery in the tower room...
There are many more photos of the HGTV Green Home on the HGTV website, including more photos of these rooms and rooms that aren't shown here, so be sure to check them out!

More "outside in" ideas in the next post. I think there will only be one more, maybe two, posts on this so if "outside in" doesn't appeal to you, hang in there! :-)
