Along with dreams of being an architect, I also went through a phase of wanting to be an interior designer. I then realized that what I really want is a huge house and unlimited funds to decorate and redecorate at will. I could spend days browsing design blogs and planning future rooms. Some of my favorite design blogs of the moment are decor8 and how about orange.
I am endlessly fascinated by color. I am in love with chocolate brown living rooms, white and blue kitchens (via decor8), and eerriinn's green nursery.
While I typically decorate in cool colors, I love to see people who can incorporate orange into a room. This summer I was loving the combination of orange, lime green and turquoise (the color scheme of O's birthday parties), as seen in this new line of aprons and towels. And particularly relevant now that autumn has arrived, how about orange recently linked to a "what color orange are you?" quiz. My result:
Speaking of color, and the vanilla walls of our current home .... I just came across this quiz from Edy's, "what vanilla are you." It was perhaps the most accurate assessment of myself from an internet quiz to date:
Realistic and practical, you see the world for how it is.
You know what it takes to succeed in life...
And you're happy to help others reach their goals.
It's true, I absolutely insist that my vanilla be real.
Vanilla with a Kick. Vanilla Bean.
Nothing slips by you because you’re on your game at all times. You know what’s right and what needs to be done and you take charge to make sure it happens.When it comes to vanilla ice cream, the perfectionist in you demands that it taste exactly like vanilla ought to taste. If it doesn’t have the obvious presence of real vanilla, it won’t pass your test.
Your vanilla is Edy's Vanilla Bean. You’re most likely to swap spoons with other Vanilla Bean lovers or entertaining Vanilla enthusiasts.
Wait a minute, are you Monica Geller from Friends? Or maybe Alan from Two and a Half Men?
