After: Portable Color
Jordan and Lucy choose green for the walls, a grayish, bluish green in a calming, natural shade that complements the fireplace. To make the fireplace stand out more, the wall above it is painted a darker shade of the green. Next they pick cream for a portable headboard to balance against the fireplace and blend in with the trim and molding. An old chair is reupholstered in brown faux suede, and its style is updated by removing the skirt and replacing the legs. Accessories are the ultimate in portable colors. A modern rug is various shades of green, contemporary art over the mantle and throw pillows that combine all the colors tie the traditional architecture and modern elements together.

Did You Know? Green is the tradition color of peace.
