Here are a few of my recommendations to spruce up your kitchen with green:
3. Kelly Green Bentwood Armchair $355/4. Society Social Letterpress Coasters $58-$174/5. Maid of the Forest Vintage Book $55 /6. Society Social Olive Greek Key Lumbar Pillow $85 /7. Green Ikat Dinnerware $10/ 8. Bungalow 5 Chloe Armchair $738/9. Lacquer Secretaire $Price Upon Request
That Lascala chandelier needs in my life. And who doesn't love a little lacquer? It's the perfect time to stock up on your holiday entertaining supplies and appropriate decor. Monogrammed coasters, anyone?
