Crown Paints Move or Make Over

Olive Green - A Forgotten Colour

February 8, 2010

I discovered while I was doing a little research into forgotten colours that olive green was in fact at the top of the list. What I found was that many people find it to be quite a depressing colour to use in their home while others found it dim and dreary.

I have just bought my first home and I plan to move in very soon. The only problem is I don’t have much to spend on furnishing it. My family and friends have come together to help in my time of furniture need and have donated some great pieces. Although none of the furniture matches, I have heard you can paint them, is this possible?
