Something weird is going on in my neighborhood, and it’s a little troubling.
As I walk my dog at night, I see interiors of the new and huge houses going up everywhere. Shockingly, most of the rooms are painted stark white — with white furnishings and lighting!
White is a perfectly wonderful choice for a beach setting.
My dog Billy’s ears always perk up when he hears me arrrggghing. How can people live like this in a climate where winter bombards us for at least six months? It seems like a frigid existence. Give me cozy and comfy – – low lights and fire glow.

Thankfully, there are still people out there who crave a little color in their lives!
I’m totally sucked in by a color combination I’ve been seeing in print lately. Deep aqua and rosey/melon.

Several shelter publications recently featured ads and articles that offer a most interesting take on this color duo. The colors are loosely at opposite ends of the color wheel, and they certainly complement each other.
Maybe it all started when Benjamin Moore announced “Caliente” as the color of the year for 2018. It’s bold but not shocking, and vacillates between a pepper red to magenta berry depending on your state of mind. And the aqua counterparts certainly keep in step with it.
I try to project a year or two from now to see if I would get sick of this combo. But I think the richness of the colors and deep moodiness of the contrast would keep everyone inspired.

Anyway, it’s my current antidote to the boring, sterile world of white interiors…
