My baby bedroom had yellow and avocado green walls (my dad called it 'grass green'. Yes, it was the '70s!) and the carpet was a multi-orange-to-rust shag. The next room was peach walls with bright yellow, green, & orange print fabrics. As soon as I got to choose, I went with blue & white, and it's taken years for me to even come close to using warm colors again. I think the key for me is lots of white.msalleycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14638319811989196392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-48737573995441948402009-03-14T06:27:00.000-04:002009-03-14T06:27:00.000-04:00stunning colour combination, I just love these pie...stunning colour combination, I just love these pieces you are creating.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02735772003412266355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-75642427290116065622009-03-12T20:43:00.000-04:002009-03-12T20:43:00.000-04:00Maybe it would look fresh if I wasn't still living...Maybe it would look fresh if I wasn't still living with the original avocado green kitchen appliances and bathroom tiles!
