I love avocado green. I would be one of those people who bought the avocado refrigerator in the 1970s (who am I kidding, if they still made them today I'd have one). I love the creamy green-ness, the vintage feel of the color - there are so many little ways to add it to your decor.

This is a fantastic collection and I'm honored to be included! I am a child of the 60s and 70s so I lived in an avocado green world for many years. Of course at the time, I loathed it but now I can't get enough!!
Avocado green is a color I love to hate and hate to love. I think you should pop over to Big Chill and put in a request for the avocado fridge...hard to believe they don't carry that color!
[for luncheonettevintage] Between Santa and Fancy I think it's been put beautifully, but let me say that an odd sense of deja vu always stirs up in me at the sight of a particularly thick avocado green object. So with this post, I'm reeling. In a good way. In a "wow, that's an amazing dustpan!" way. Thanks so much for including the pillows!
Oh I should Robin! And I know just what you mean about the dustpan and deja vu. We had an avocado green velvet couch growing up - the sight of the color makes me smell my Dad's cigarette smoke - but it's a good olfactory memory ;)
Love, love LOVE it! It's my dream to have a rainbow kitchen some day (the colors, not necessarily the shape;) and this green will fit in perfectly!
