One day my sister told me that I needed some orange. My immediate response was "NO WAY!". But over the past couple of years I have noticed orange creeping into the house. First some pillows for the sofa, then a plate on a decorative stand. Nothing garish, but it's there. I love how the pics you posted showed those brownish-orangey tones in the wood furniture and blinds and metal accents in the room. I think we probably all like orange more than we realize.GardenOfDaisieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110646840082802721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112170969287680782.post-82516532126235379012010-03-30T09:27:56.074-07:002010-03-30T09:27:56.074-07:00I agree with you too -- you can feel when someone ...I agree with you too -- you can feel when someone is sincere. <br />I love photo #1 I can see myself sitting and enjoying my surroundings!<br />About the last photo brings a smile and not sure I like those cord together - <br /><br />Have a Happy Easter...
