DESIGN TIPS USING YELLOW!
- Yellow is an appropriate color for a room used for studying because it has a stimulating effect on the mind.
- Its intensity is also good for stairs and corridors that don't receive natural light!
- Approach yellow as a neutral. Select a yellow wall color with brown undertones, and pair it with a sisal rug.

  | Shabby chic celebrates well-aged interiors but it’s also all about beginning new stories. Mixing pieces you already have and love with new furniture and accessories in pastel palettes - pinks, pale blues, creams and beiges - will give you the "old is new" look of shabby chic! Dream-like colors give you the romantic, feminine feel of shabby chic. Its a hydrangea palette! |

Shabby chic doesn’t have an official flower, but if it did, it would have to be the hydrangea. Its modest, yet gorgeous clusters are a mainstay in vases. |
The shabby chic style is very creative, individual and romantic. La-Z-Boy takes the basic elements of a shabby chic chair and combines it with a touch of glamour to create a modern, comfortable style.

 | We all know that it’s a bit tricky to decorate a room with orange 👀 because it's such a bold color! It is the color of joy and creativity, and reminds us of wonderful things like sunsets and pumpkins! How do we temper such a strong color in a room? |
This may come as a surprise, but orange is a beautiful color to pair with GRAY, a calm color of efficiency and practicality. Gray is quiet and strong, and balances the warm tones of orange creating a perfect color duo.
These colors would be stunning in your home!
"The color of truth is gray."

Pumpkin Facts!
- Pumpkins are a member of the gourd family, which includes cucumbers, honeydew melons, cantaloupe, watermelons and zucchini. These plants are native to Central America and Mexico, but now grow on six continents.
- The largest pumpkin pie ever baked was in 2005 and weighed 2,020 pounds.
- Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years. They are indigenous to the western hemisphere.
- Pumpkins are low in calories, fat, and sodium and high in fiber. They are good sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B, potassium, protein, and iron.
- The heaviest pumpkin weighed 1,810 lb 8 oz and was presented by Chris Stevens at the Stillwater Harvest Fest in Stillwater, Minnesota, in October 2010.
- Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. They take between 90 and 120 days to grow and are picked in October when they are bright orange in color. Their seeds can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year.

Right in the middle of red and yellow on the color wheel, ORANGE flirts with the daring side of red and evokes the sunny side of yellow. Orange can change from contemporary and eccentric to happy and jubilant, to quiet and reflective - with just a few tweaks on the color wheel. It is a GREAT color to add to your room.

COLORFUL FACTS ABOUT ORANGE
History and Lore
The word orange developed from the Sanskrit word naranga. In the early Christian church, orange was a symbol of glory and fruits of the earth. It was also called the wisdom ray. In education, engineering is represented by orange.
Daily Uses
Orange is used to designate warning and to point out dangerous equipment such as electrical wires and hot pipes. In marketing, orange is used for packaging because it has a "freshness" appeal (e.g., bread wrappers). Oftentimes it is found in cafeterias, because it has been proven to inspire higher sales. If used sparingly in entertainment rooms, it tends to promote congeniality. In a study room, it gives energy and creative motivation
Orange is found in apricots, mangoes, oranges, peaches, carrots, pumpkins, yams, and saffron.

| Sienna: This transitional design has a casual feel thanks to the novelty slub yarn. The sheen from the yarns in the figure adds sophistication and gives this fabric a wonderful hand. Twinkle Twinkle provides a modern, pop of color for a stunning accent. |  |
As always, accent with color!
A BURST OF ORANGE is all you need to make a room look interesting! ORANGE makes the room look modern, funky and fun, and also creates a warm and inviting appeal which is just perfect both for welcoming and wowing guests.

Can we fit all of this into one room?

YES. Invite PURPLE in to join LIME GREEN. Pairing these two colors creates an exciting balance in a room. I’ve often wondered why that works so well, but then… they ARE complimentary colors on the color wheel. Plus, when I think of #reallygoodthings, I see a lot of green and purple. Key Lime Pie (Green), Blackberry Cobbler (purple), Margaritas (Green), Blackberry Mojitas (Purple), Hydrangeas (Purple & Green), Mardi Gras (Purple and Green)…. Lime Sherbert, Raspberry Tea... the list is rich and long! This color combination is all around us!

THE HISTORY OF "LIMELIGHT"
In the early 1800's, theater stages were lit by heating a cylinder of the mineral called lime — the result was an intensely bright white light. The word limelight came to have its figurative meaning of "at the center of attention" in 1877. |
