I'll have a little asparagus on the walls please

The Nester has named today
National (not really) Take a Risk Day.

And so, you may ask, just what risk did I take?

Well,
I put asparagus all over my walls...





Why asparagus, you may ask?

I just like green.
And when we bought this old house 2 1/2 years ago, we had to do something with the baby blue dining room and buttercup yellow living room/foyer.

So asparagus it was.

And you know what?

I love it.

So there.
That's my risk.
And I'll be honest here- I backed out the first time and left Home Depot with a safe taupe which we used in the bedrooms, but
oh how I love my asparagus.

What risks have you taken at your house?

***After many inquiries, the paint color we used is actually called Asparagus. The brand is Behr and we bought it at Home Depot. Thank you so much for your sweet comments about our green walls!***

Wow! That looks great. I love it! We painted our hallway light blue - I am not sure I really like it but I am not up to repainting it quite yet. I'll post pictures tomorrow morning.

I so love asparagus... and it looks *fantastic* on your walls! Beautiful. I love how your white trim and dark furniture pop against the green! Yay for the risk! :)

I love your walls! The pop of color looks fantastic. Also - the ceiling detail in your foyer is phenomenal.

Girl, that color is fan-freakin tastic. I'm super vanilla but I could see myself living and loving that color. Good choice.
