I have known I wanted the boys room to be olive green for so long. My direction for their room is a little camp-y, a little preppy, collected, and traditional. I knew green walls, a red persian rug, and an industrial light fixture would be the foundational elements. I loved the color “pup tent” by martha stewart, but it was discontinued and I made a pretty concerted effort to find the formula anywhere. It didn’t happen, then I stopped caring, so I just eye-d what colors seemed similar to narrow it down.
FOUND ONE I LIKE EVEN BETTER SO.
This is my olive green now!!! I love it, it looks good with every color. And has a real chic-ness that elevates anything.

Almost forgot to say the new name – “ginger tea” by behr. Smash hit.
Like I love doing, we painted all the trim and doors the same wall color. I get SO MANY questions about this and people who want to recreate the same look. One of the faq’s is what sheen I do and yep, it is eggshell on all of it. It’s totally fine. I love eggshell.
We have already had so much fun putting lots of cute collected boy stuff on the walls. The rug is a stand in we’ve had that was SIXTY DOLLARS (new) for an 8 x 10. (It was on overstock, not available anymore.) It’s just here until I’m one day doing finishing touches on our house and can replace non essential updates like that. Still is a placeholder and gets the job done. Here is a good priced similar one.
Looking for more things to paint “ginger tea” now. It’s a warm olive, which I find refreshing from that cooler olive that is everywhere. More style to me, and a touch retro.
