Emerald has been dubbed on HGTV’s blog as the new “it” color for fall, and I’m green with envy over these images of these interiors.  This deep hue is a hint of old world sophistication and modern glamor.  Did you know early emerald dyes were laced with arsenic, causing ill effects for fashionable 1800′s women?  It’s a different risk now – adding the wrong patterns and textures, and your luxe emerald home goes from “fit for royalty” to “backwoods cabin”.  Not quite as dangerous, but still scary to me!

Here are a few of my favorite emerald pieces:
