Creating a Mood- Color Palettes that Glow

Those of you who follow me on Facebook know that I like to post photos from my power walks. Recently, I read that some experts are calling Emerald Green the ‘Color of 2013′. So, when I ran into this most amazing scene along the Crystal Springs Reservoir near my home in Burlingame, California, I had to imagine a room that evoked this magical setting. Here’s what I came up with:

Deep dark green walls. Preferably, layers of green blending to this deep black emerald color with a wax finish...

A gorgeous dark brown sofa like the modern piece inspired by the old English Chesterfield style sofa from Jayson Home & Garden...

And a luminous painting that evokes Mother Nature like this large-scale piece called 'The One Behind the Two' by my friend, Jennifer Perlmutter

An architectural chanderlier like this piece from Jayson Home and Garden that reflects the bare branches...

Comfy reading chairs in warm clay colored velvet like these from Jayson Home and Garden

A brilliant rug with sun glowing colors and Najajo patterns like this Germantown Revival rug at the DeYoung Museum
