                                    this particular hue of purple -Vintage Wine (see ceiling above)

  It's a great dark neutral.  

EXPLORING WALL COLOR: WARM TONES Orange, Red, Pink

I've never been a fan of Orange.

But doing a little research for this blog, my eyes were opened.  There is a lot about Orange to love.  I found that there were a lot more variations on Orange than I had thought of when starting this post - colors like Coral, Terra Cotta, Peach and Persimmon.  They sound so much more interesting than just 'Orange', don't they?.

I found I liked orange with cream

it even sounds delicious

Standing in front of the display of hundreds of paint chips at your local paint or hardware store, is NOT the place to start when selecting paint colors for your home.

I'm growing very fond of Texas

Althought I've only ever been here in Winter.

This trip, on the way to our client's home

 I discovered these amazing live oak trees

LOVED their silhouettes against the wide open Texas sky
