HOUSE BEAUTIFUL goes GREEN

FROM CITRON TO AQUAMARINE, HOUSE BEAUTIFUL GOES GAGA FOR GREEN IN ITS MARCH 2012 “COLOR” ISSUE
 
House Beautiful is all about green as the March 2012 Spring Color issue gives readers dozens of easy ways to bring the hue into their homes. From decorators’ favorite shades to fantastic rooms that will make you green with envy, the magazine shows readers why they should be keen for green.

“As the pages of our March issue attest, there is an astonishing spectrum in green, from citrus to aquamarine,” says House Beautiful Editor in Chief Newell Turner. “Green has many moods—romantic, happy, calming, mysterious—and there is no other color more natural. Before spring arrives, I find myself starved for color, especially all the greens. Who isn’t amazed when trees explode in every shade imaginable?”
 
Housebeautiful.com will help readers get in the swing of all things green beginning this week, when the site will feature photos of 40 green rooms, advice from bloggers about decorating with green, green products under $50, exclusive videos, and earth-friendly tips for going green.

The March issue of House Beautiful is available February 15. Highlights include:
