While typing my message about my "favorite designer" on another thread, I started thinking about my fear of large color planes. I am absolutely terrified of a wall caked with vibrant hues. Bright furniture tends to scare me. Yet, something about Alexander Girard's concoctions pleases my eye more than anything else. I don't know why this has little influence on my own aesthetic. I tend to gravitate toward warm, mostly neutral surroundings.

What is your general feeling about living with color?

Wifes loft studio,Periwinkel ,my office is Grey and orange, The bedroom and Den,sesami cream, down stairs bath room mint, Now before you vomit , It all works and works great.
