The "lounge" above would normally be a bit bold for my taste, but I love the emerald walls with black, white and gold accents that designer, Sherrill Canet chose for the Kips Bay Showhouse. 
The saturated wall color with white, piped drapes reminded me of this room by George Stacey that The Peak of Chic discovered in a 1948 issue of House and Garden. Elements of this space still look fresh almost 60 years later.

I'm kind of fixated on that Rorschach-esque artwork - I suppose that's the point. Nice post.
I just wanted to thank you for your comment on my blog today! This is my first visit here and I have to say I love it! You have tons of inspiration here and I know I will visit often. I have already read a bunch of your posts and you do an excellent job!
Thank you!

WOW! That's a bright room but I really like it. I also thought the paining looked like a Rorschach inkblot test like Diana. Too funny!
Thanks for the kind words Melissa.
I like the Rorschach-ish piece too. What do you think it means if the first thing I say it reminds me of is a Chippendale bonnet-top secretary?
Madly in love with this room. Green and black and white is one of my favorite combos.
I love the color combo too--very Kate Spade.
Love this room, so dramatic!!! Those white and black drapes are fab with that bold wall color. Great post :)

I love, love the use of black and white with a vibrant green. It's chic and not overwhelming or cold.
I think the color palette was a great choice for a show house room. Plenty of glamor. I love the gold ceiling and brass accents in the tables and lamps. They seem to mellow the contrast of the green & White. I'll bet this room is great at night.
I love the ceiling, it looks like it is gold leafed. I am glad to see more gold and brass being used again. It warms a room up.
The emeral Wall ...whouah I love it
Yes, that green is very bold, but it is clever how the designer put the bold colors in things that can easily be changed...the walls and the pillows. Throw on a new coat of paint and and the room can be transformed. Very interesting post!
