First Person Singular by Wendy Braitman

Another neutralian here. But I have an accent wall in the living room painted a beautiful burnt orange, with the other walls a pale green. Beautiful and vibrant complement to a coffee table with inlaid hammered copper.

My office, largely white, has a bright turquoise clamp lamp on the desk. I just got some paint from Lowes (a more subdued turquoise/teal color) and I plan to paint the window frame that color. Since I’m redoing the office (bit by bit), I’ll be looking for color pops to act as a visual OOMPH to contrast the white.

You’ve given me another reason to appreciate singledom–the ability to be the sole arbiter of decoration for one’s domicile. I think of a colleague of mine–her husband insisted on a glass topped coffee table with a drawer (the glass lies on top) so that he could display his collection of knives (hunting, etc., not cooking–I display those so it must be okay 🙂 )

You must be psychic, Wendy! I’m sliding into decorator mode again and am thinking about making changes (small ones) to my interior.
