I've been dying to paint our living room green and you just convinced me to go thru with it, thank you.

[@itssublymonal426]

I just painted our bedroom a dark olive green and I love it so much. I realized I hated having a bright white “sterile” bedroom and now it’s so much more cozy and inviting. Your living room looks great and I’m glad to see you back.

[@RachelStansfield]

Thank you, Courtney! 🙏🏼 Your bedroom sounds magical! I’m sure it looks amazing. I’m loving the green trends right now. It really is so cozy! 👏🏼😍

[@FreeRangeDiva]

I was skeptical about the color green w/ the green leaves of plants, but you knocked it out of the park! Gorgeous!!

[@RachelStansfield]

Thank you so much! 🙏🏼❤️

[@valorietrahanlinson5821]

I just had this video come up in my feed, and I have to say, I LOVE YOUR GREEN WALL!!! It "feels" so cozy and relaxing, You have created a space that just says, " come hang out and spend some time here". Great job!!! I can actually see myself in a room like this. It has given me some inspiration for my own cozy hang out! There is a bohemian quality that really has my attention. Thank you for sharing your space!😊

[@RachelStansfield]

Such a huge compliment! Thank you, Valorie. 🙏🏼🤍🤍 I’m so glad that the esthetic inspires and speaks to you! I hope your space turns out just as cozy as you’re hoping for. Good luck to you, my friend. 😊👏🏼

Love it! I am currently painting a room dark turqois, I was only going to paint one wall but my 7yo started painting a 2nd so I guess I'm painting 2 walls now! Had to go buy more paint and freaking out a little, but your room looks so good now I'm excited to see how mine turns out!

[@rebeccagypsysol]

Those green walls are iconic now and I cannot imagine your house without them!!!🍃 Also, I'm sure someone else has already told you this, but we HIGHLY recommend Behr Scuff Defense! It's a matte finish but it's durable. It's what we painted our whole RV with. And although there have been times we've had to touch a couple spots up, overall, it's held together VERY well, even with two rough and tumble doggos🤍

[@RachelStansfield]

Oh my goodness! I hadn’t heard of the BHER scuff defense! I’m going to have to try that next project! Thank you, Becca! 🤍🤍

[@rebeccagypsysol]

@@RachelStansfield it's a little pricey, but we can definitely recommend!!

[@Kimmypurry]

Beautiful! We just painted our office in Benjamin Moore's Hunter Green, which is not really a hunter green. It has more cool tones and can almost come off blackish.

[@detroitsdarling1]

....very nice! And, yes, I had green carpet growing up too...

[@RachelStansfield]

Thank you! I’m glad you resonate with the green nostalgia. One of these days it’ll be back! 🥰

I love it. I am moving into a small apartment and i am bored with the plain white walls they painted for me. I always loved the deeper colours. I want to do the same for my bedroom. The blinds they that are in the bedroom are nice and i dont want to take them down. However they are a what one would call a 'dusty rose'. A very light pink. What deep colour should i use for the bedroom. Any suggestions?

[@OrlaMax]

So beautiful

We have the same modular couch I love it 🥰

[@WallStreetinWallStreetLLC]

Hey mother, great work, Bravo from Greece, what's the color code? Did you paint the wall only one time? Thank you.

[@afiakhan3116]

Please suggest me with olive green sofa what carpet or rug I should go for my living room

[@lovingpurnima]

Thank you

[@milkdrinker117]

It's weird that i hate green color but i love dark green so much. I'm afraid it will make the room looks smaller tho

[@RachelStansfield]

I totally understand that concern! I had the same hesitation going into this project. I guess it just depends on the feeling you’re going for. Honestly, my living room does look a little smaller, but the feeling is crazy cozy now, which I prefer over a large space. It sounds silly, but that mirror on the wall really helps to keep the room open and gives an illusion of extra space. So that’s always an option if you need a backup. Best of luck if you tackle a similar project! 👏🏼👏🏼😊

[@jeanniegeiser9676]

Perfection

[@victoriabinagia7680]

Next time get "semi-gloss" instead of "flat". Flat is traditionally meant for more of a base coat. It will be more durable without the being too shiny. Worked in construction my whole life. Only finish paint I will ever buy. Good luck. Green looks gorgeous.😁👍

[@RachelStansfield]

Thank you so much for the tip, Victoria! I’ll opt for that next time. 👏🏼 So awesome that you’ve built your career in construction! 💪🏼 Give me all the tips… 😅🥰

[@shaynew8992]

Awesome job! Painting my office in a bold green. Curious if the wood accent wall is natural or was it stained as all?

[@RachelStansfield]

Thank you, Shayne! Good luck with your office project! I’m sure it’s going to turn out super cool. 👏🏼🔥 The shiplap was pre-treated, although I’m not sure in what ways. We bought it as-is from Home Depot. Sorry I don’t have more info for you!

Will a green wall (thinking dark sage) go w light beige walls? I want to paint my living room but don't know if I should do all 3 walls or just one. Another issue of that my apartment is very dark , I only have a small window and doesn't give much natural light. Worried it will make the apartment even darker

[@RachelStansfield]

Dark Sage will be stunning! 😍 I completely understand the hesitation though. It will definitely compress the space a little bit, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It just depends on what you’re wanting. A darker space can be grounding and cozy. You could just start with one wall and work your way up. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I had the same worry, but finally came to the conclusion that I could just as easily paint it back to white if I decided it was too overbearing. Best of luck with your project though! It’s so fun to shake things up. 😍👏🏼✨

[@lolfala101]

what color wallpaper would you recommend for light green walls? I wanted to cover one side of the wall (the window wall) with wallpaper because that side tends to crack more. I dont know what color wallpaper I should choose with light green walls. Majority of my furniture is medium dark wood and white. What would you recommend?

[@RachelStansfield]

Oooo. 😍 I wish I was more experienced with wallpaper to know what I’d recommend! I’ve had my eye on a few vintage-inspired floral prints, but it really depends on your personal style preferences! If I were to pick a wallpaper right now, I’d probably think of it like artwork and not worry so much about whether it’s trending or not, but rather seek a print/color that resonates with the overall mood I’m going for in the space. With a light green and darker wood, I bet a light gray or light cream based design would be pretty and complimentary… You’re making me want to experiment with wallpaper. 😏👏🏼 Best of luck to you, Jess! Thanks for watching. 🥰🤍

[@anitapriest3878]

Hi im looking for perfect dark green paint and this one what u showed it’s not dark in the link

[@RachelStansfield]

Hi Anita! 😊 Lighting will play a big factor in the ultimate color brightness/saturation. My paint is a lot brighter during daytime when there’s direct daylight streaming through the windows vs evening when the lighting is more indirect- the green is much deeper. If you know a local hardware store that carries BHER paint, I would get a small sample from them so you can test a swatch in the space you’re thinking to make sure it works for you. Best of luck finding your dark green! 👏🏼🤍

[@stayroxy]

I think it looks nice but the warm green clashes with the cool grey couch , but on the otherhand the green goes very well with your cognac leather chair. your rug, your flooring, the paino and your shiplac accent wall but for some reason though the couch is gorgeous It looks odd with the green and I can't put my finger on why that is .
