Why Sage Green? The Perfect Bedroom Transformation
I walked into a bedroom where the walls were painted a color that was closer to sage than to mint and the bedding was white and the plants were in terracotta pots and the room felt like a place where the color had been chosen to suggest the outside without claiming it.
