I love the green. It’s my favorite color and I can’t get enough of it. I”m about to paint a drinks trolley and a filing cabinet that color, I also have a huge wall hanging in green, white and black. I have a big marrimekko type apple green curtain in my front porch.Okay so the dark grey people hate it. but it is such a lively color and such a contrast to the blue, brown beige brigade people in my neck of the woods. I would hate to live in the world of safe bland colors. My other favorite colors are violet, aqua, red and white stripes, black and white stipes, dark red velvet, gold, purple, mauve and pink. These colors keep me from feeling low on cold dark winter days.

I can appreciate the idea behind the green color. Its really bold move, but I would never paint a piece of furniture that color.

i LOVE the green!

it’s true that it looked nice in white, but I think Carrie did a great job customizing it to her liking. and I agree with Morgan and the others, what’s the point of saying something negative just for the sake of commenting? i’ve seen plenty of things i didn’t like, but i appreciate the efforts that people put into these pieces [it's a lot of work!], and keep my comments to myself, unless i have a good suggestion or explanation.

it’s one thing to articulate your feelings and quite another to insult.

I totally agree with Morgan, its exacally what I was going say when scrolling down. May don’t stand up for your comment there is nothing constructive saying it hurts your eyes, it’s just immature.

The green is so fun, that’s a piece that will definitly start conversation!

i love the green, but would prefer to see it used on the inside of the cabinet, keeping the outside, white, or a possibly, dark gray? also installing some cabinet lights would be dramatic. great find!

I personally love it…maybe i would have gone ever bolder and put a vibrant color on the inside as well…nothing wrong with vibrant color folks! We dont all live in perfect white boxes with tiny splashes of color.

May, I agree that the comment area is for saying what is on your mind, but keep in mind that somebody put a great deal of work into something i’m sure she’s VERY proud of (as she should be) There is a way of giving constructive crit, so by saying…that something hurts your eyes or physically makes you hurt may not be the nicest way to say…”eh, maybe not how i would have done it, the green is a little bright for my taste.”

tact, ahhh what a wonderful thing.
