PS - It can be seen among many other places, here, in a historical context. Cheers. (Scroll down) http://www.mountainsofstone.com/oregon_country.htm Apartment Therapy New York \| Colorful Wool Blankets from L.L. Bean Boston Flag this comment	9/11/08 10:45 AM
The multicoloured one is an honoured "Hudson's Bay" blanket. I guess "The Bay" doesn't have the copyright on the design! Apartment Therapy New York \| Colorful Wool Blankets from L.L. Bean Boston Flag this comment	9/11/08 10:42 AM
Too funny. This reminds me of an old craft project my mother used to do when we were kids. Take a fat Simpsons/Eatons catalogue, start folding each page down to make a perfect triangle with the bottom of the page acting as one angle. Do this to EVERY PAGE. You will eventually have a cone. Spray paint this gold or green. There is your Christmas tree. Whew. Apartment Therapy Re-Nest \| How To: Craft a Table Using Old Magazines Flag this comment	9/3/08 8:44 AM
Okay, okay, people. Break it up. Listen, you would be SHOCKED at the colour combinations on wooden houses in the Maritimes of Canada. I mean, truly shocked. You think these sweet little white houses are unnerving? A happy little zip of chartreuse or yellow? In Nova Scotia, white houses traditionally have black-painted mullions and frames. Or, cream and dark forest green. Red with white trim. Cobalt blue with white trim. Bright yellow with white. These are traditional. My ire is raised in other ways. Lately, the back-to-the-land boomers, perhaps reacting to their parents' all-white homes have been using an interesting (!) combination of purple (!) and teal (!). Ow, my eyes! That's a tough one. In Toronto here, around the corner from me, is a lovely old turn of the century Edwardian. Painted lemon yellow with Pepto-Bismol pink trim. And 1980's light fixtures. And fake columns. So, my dears. Celebrate this mild playful colour and count your blessings! Apartment Therapy Los Angeles \| Inspiration: Bright Borders! Austin Flag this comment	9/3/08 7:47 AM
