We are going green for this weeks Focus On Life photo.
GREEN! The color of balance, learning, growth and harmony! GREEN evokes feelings of calm and symbolizes self-respect and well being. What a great color to focus on!
*Grab your cameras and find some green!
Before I even saw this weeks' photo prompt, a plan was percolating in my head. I want to brighten up my kitchen a bit. And the colour I was thinking about was GREEN. Not just any green either.

| Lemongrass Fiestaware Place Setting |
A friend of mine got me hooked on Fiestaware. My biggest dilemna is...you cannot buy it in Canada. And unfortunately, importing it from the U.S. is extremely expensive. So for now, I have to content myself with the few pieces that have been 'gifted' to me.
One of the newer colours is LEMONGRASS. I just love it! Wouldn't that be a good colour to paint my kitchen? I think so. I stopped in at the paint store to pick up some sample cards. Who knew there were so many shades of green!
I will stick them up on my wall for a week or so to see if I still like the bright green for my kitchen walls.

It is an amazing colour - very fiesta!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the number of shades of green paint is vast!
Have a wonderful week :)
I think bright green would be a fabulous color for a kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWow, that colour on your walls will certainly energize you each morning! The sample cards were a great idea for this weeks prompt.
ReplyDeletewhat a happy color! it would cheer me up to walk into a kitchen with that green
ReplyDeleteI love bright colors in a kitchen! Go for it! It's only paint
ReplyDeleteI vote for the middle one. HUH? Which one is that, you choose. Can't go wrong with green in my book!
ReplyDeleteOh - That "Lemongrass" Shade of Green - possibly my favorite of the 'greens'!! Those dishes are to die for! I do like how you photographed all the paint colors. Holy cow there's a variety, isn't there?! Lovely Green Post!
ReplyDeleteThat is a bright happy green color! I can see it in the kitchen with yellow accents!
ReplyDeleteWell lemongrass would certainly brighten a kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI loved your post! Amazing number of greens and I just LOVE that Fiesta ware color. I'm thinking I may have to add some in with my soft blue dishes.
ReplyDeleteI will have to check out Fiestaware..
ReplyDeleteI like the many paint chips as it vividly proves there are many shades of green! I love the bright color you have chosen. You are brave but then, it's just paint... right?
ReplyDeleteI just love this color--so bright and cheery! I still have the country blue dishes we got shortly after we were married in 1982 and boy howdy am I looking for a change. I'be been wanting Fiestaware, but not sure I can afford it!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck choosing paint colors from all those wonderful colors!
I just bought a pair of clogs in lemon grass. Just what I needed another pair of shoes!
ReplyDeleteI think I;ve seen fiesta ware in Canada. I'm debating what colour to paint the kitchen once the renno is done... right now we are in destruct mode!
Wow, that is a a lot of green. I don't know if that pop of color would be what I wanted on whole walls, but certainly some accessories would be fun!
ReplyDeleteAfter looking at the swatch on the wall this week, I'm beginning to agree with you. Whole walls may be a wee bit too much of that colour. LOL
DeleteI do love me some fiestaware too! When the hubs and I got married, that was the 'China' I registered for. Ha! What a bummer you can't get it up there easily. I'll have to keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteThat lemongrass really would be an awesome color for a kitchen, so bright and cheery. I can't wait to hear what you decide!
What a wonderful way to show us GREEN, I enjoyed it very much
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy shade of green!! Must make you smile every day.
