"Mandy Moore's Altadena home is as charming as you might expect from a Sarah Sherman Samueldesigned space. It's colorful and playful with plush furnishings, tufted checkerboard rugs, and many undulating silhouettes (a Sherman signature). One particular detail, however, stands out among its cheerful counterparts: a pair of Babs accent chairs upholstered in a bright chartreuse fabricchartreuse velvet, even, to make things more provocative. Chartreuse re-entered the conversation during Brat Summer,"
"but the divisive colornamed after a liqueur bottled by Alpine monksoriginated in the 17th century and has inspired lively debate for just as long. Call it lime green, pistachio, Day-Glo yellow, citrus green, acid green, neon green, pea soup or granny apple, but please don't call it chartreuse, begins a New York Times article from 1988, portending its return (and rightly soas revealed by Nicole Kidman's 1997 Oscars dress, called absinthe, and Prada's 1996 embrace of the hue)."
Mandy Moore's Altadena home, designed by Sarah Sherman Samuel, is colorful and playful with plush furnishings, tufted checkerboard rugs, and many undulating silhouettes. A standout detail is a pair of Babs accent chairs upholstered in bright chartreuse velvet that punctuate the cheerful interior. Chartreuse, named after a liqueur bottled by Alpine monks, originated in the 17th century and has long provoked debate. The hue re-emerged during Brat Summer and has been labeled with many synonyms—lime green, pistachio, Day-Glo yellow, acid green, and more. Historical and fashion moments such as Nicole Kidman's 1997 Oscars dress and Prada's 1996 embrace illustrate earlier revivals.
