Suddenly, I'm seeing lots of orange cotton twin-sets being worn and orange turning up as a major color at the Kips Bay Show House. If you're really strapped, get some oranges and put them in a big yellow bowl. I plan to go to the Designer's sale at the old Hechinger's this weekend. Thanks a lot for your compliment. This year, they have doubled the number of designers participating to 50 and promise tons of more stuff.
Prices are definitely in the realm of mere mortals.
Check out this Thursday's Home section for a preview of this fab sale. And come early and bring your checkbooks for fabrics, accessories, window treatments, furniture and more. I am the lucky new owner of a townhouse that was built in 1942. The house has a back porch that has been enclosed. The porch has knotty pine paneling, which I am planning to keep, but I am looking for ways to brighten the room without resorting to just plain white everything.
