These are so cool! I agree with Curtis above, look at CB2. For years they've been big on orange so I bet if you perused their website or old catalogues you'll find images showing different ways that you could work with the orange. I first bought some accessories from them back in 2003 or so that used chartreuse as an accent, but I've seen them pair orange with many other colors over the years. For that matter, so has Crate & Barrel.

It sounds like a lot of other people here like the orange too. As sad as I would be to see them torn out, it ultimately comes down to what you think since you have to live with it. If you do tear them out then maybe there's a way for you to donate the old tops somewhere that they could be re-purposed by someone who would love them and keep them out of a landfill.

I want to see a close-up view of the wall treatment behind the tv. Looks great!

These folks have a great blog where you can see more.

I've referenced past AT Color Therapy posts and found them quite helpful.

I kind of agree with DEFAULTNAME, I personally would rather have everything in one place than have to jump around between 7 different categories to see everything. I can't see myself coming here as often with the new format, which is a shame, because I used to really enjoy this blog.

I love chartreuse, but be warned that if you paint an entire room this color it may very well be too much. I did it and it looked great during the day when it was sunny, but at night felt very heavy and created a sort of nuclear glow of light down the hallway when I tried using CFL's. It was Pear Green from Benjamin-Moore I believe.

A few days ago there was a bathroom reno post on here (I think) where they painted the wood white and the walls above black and I thought it looked awesome. The navy blue recommendations on here could have a similar effect. Honestly, I think with white wood you could pretty much paint the walls above any color you wanted and make it work.

When he was a pup my Chihuahua destroyed a wool rug or two (worth about $1000 total) so now we have Flor tiles so they can be replaced individually. Haven't had to though, so I guess they're not as fun to destroy. Wool rugs seem to be his only vice, so I consider myself lucky.

I have these running through almost every room of my house, and they were already painted when I moved in, so when I repainted I painted them too and I think it looks fine.

After seeing "The Kids Are Alright" I can't see an heirloom tomato without chuckling to myself.
