It's considered an energetic color
it elicts feelings of excitement
vibrates enthusiasm
and warmth
* * *
draws attention
it is cheerful & happy
commanding & strong
it sparks conversation
represents value
and
it is cozy & warm (I like that best)
The color is
Orange
where oh where are these delightful steps leading to?
Sunny Citrus Colors
Color is the word and homes are being filled with a lot of color - bright & bold. Sunny citrus colors in bold hues bring a fresh twist to traditional cottage home decorating colors, which historically have been more muted and grayed down. I will always LOVE this color palette as is has been and as it evolves into as seen at the little cottage and as represented by Jeanne d'arc Living . . .
May I simply sigh and tell you
"I love you" and
"I will always love you"
"YOU will always be in my heart and of my heart
an authentic expression of my spirit."
But . . .
as time changes, so must we
bend and bow
Today, anything goes as we seek to imbue the balance of our personality into our homes creating our own safe haven, our sanctuaire.
The yang to the yin, the playful to the sophisticated. Have you tried experimenting with adding bright, fun colors to your home.
You can do so using orange color schemes,. or maybe some shades of green
One of the home decorating do’s that most interior design experts tell their client is to always consider color psychology. That’s it, to believe that a particular color can really affect one’s mood, emotion and behavior. I believe it to be true, do you? Even Pablo Picasso one said that, color like features, follow the changes of the emotion.
This totally reminds me of these cool guys! I'm a big fan.
how fun is this?
and in keeping with our trademark vintage vibe this room really resonates with me.
So are your creative juices flowing? What'cha gonna create? What pop of color do you want to bring into your home?

hi Jackie,
My agents will be at Surtex, but I will not. I'm treating myself to a week long artist's retreat instead. I hope you are well and your challenges are nearing an acceptable resolution. It's never an easy process my friend. Thanks for peeking in on me, I always enjoy hearing from you.
