Comments (35)A different consideration on "Here's how color works". (Sorry, but I love color theory!) It reflects everywhere. Color in light doesn't work the same as colors in paint. (It's why Photoshop and Illustrator have R(ed)G(reen)B(lue) color profiles for web applications and C(yan)M(agenta)Y(ellow)(blac)K color profiles for print work.) It's true that if you paint scarlet and brilliant green side by side, you get Van Gogh's "The Night Cafe", jangling and intense as it is. (Google it. It's neat how those colors increase the uncomfortable feeling of the painting.) The colors are adjacent on a flat plane and they seem to push at eachother. (You see it a lot in art from the 60's too. Discomfort was very in.) In a 3-d environment (the kind I live in, personally) you also have the element of cast color. The colors of reflected light are often forgotten when people are decorating. There is color in the reflections and shadow from everything in the room. If you put a green light bulb into a room, anything that is red looks black. They don't intensify eachother, they cancel. When you paint an entire room in one color, it has a huge effect on the perceived color of the contents of the room. Warm tones like terra-cotta on the walls will intensify the pinkish shade because they'll reflect onto the wood. When you paint a section of wall next to a cabinet door in an area with a lot of light, step back and look at the cabinet with UNFOCUSED EYES, don't see your cabinet or your paint, just see COLOR. Observe the colors that are cast onto the wood and that are reflected in the finish and how that color affects the wood's perceived color. The cast color of a grey, a silvery sage or neutral brown paint over the cabinets will tend to neutralize the pinkish shade in them. It won't be gone, mind, just neutralized a bit. When you MIX opposites, what do you get? Grayish, brownish, muddy colors. It will not make the peach tones more obvious, it will quiet them down. Avoid pinkish browns. A lot of taupes have pink undertones and they'll really pull up the pink in the cabinetry. As was mentioned further up, work with a paint professional to choose a color. This is a pretty common problem....See MoreTrim dilemma in old spanish home
Comments (67)Well in Fallbrook, at least, our prices have dropped a lot. The rest of San Diego and Orange County prices are still stupid high. But frankly, if you can stand a fixer upper, you can get some great deals in Fallbrook. Though we're in the County of San Diego, this little village seems like we're in our own little world. Lots of celebrities have houses here. Jason Mraz, Tom Selleck, Rita Coolige and other people like famous authors, etc. No one wants Fallbrook to change. And we all work hard to keep it from growing into a big place. We're still under County rules because we've never officially become a city. As you know we have the Mediterranean climate here all year round. Might think about coming back now before everything gets crazy expensive again....See MoreLets start working on the guest room
Comments (291)Oh, Sanciare! Oh my - I just cannot believe how beautiful you have made this room! What mother would not feel comfortable and pampered in here?

And it has been a pleasure working with you!...See MoreColor scheme ideas!
Comments (17)Good job with your space planning thus far. Consider the following: - consider a new tv console, something larger and is to scale with the other furniture selections in the room. - Add a rug with coordinating drapery and pillows. You can tackle this item list at any Target, world market or home goods if your on a budget. They will absolutely have coordinating textiles. - because your sofas are a dark brown you could really go in any color direction that you desire (considering warms tones and cool tones). My personal opinion with the amount of light coming into the space would be to lean towards warmer hues (reds, oranges.etc) - Remove wall art above tv and add it to collage above larger sofa. - Make sure artwork is hung at average eye level and centered on the sofa. Also when positioning smaller frames create a smaller gap between each frame (bring everything closer in together to create one large visual. - If you want to play with staging a floor lamp and table lamp as your doing be sure that they're coordinate with each other FYI: you can paint in a rental just notify your renters office to be sure they can/will provide you the original paint in order to paint it back. Good Luck ;-)...See More

Rosylady, so far I’ve only lightly pruned Zaide. Just like several other newer Kordes roses it has very little or virtually no dieback.

last monthEvelyn. I love apricot roses with purple companion plants - a lot of my roses are in containers which makes pairing with companions harder, but this one is in a half wine barrel, which allows for a little extra space. (Purple is nemesia, variety ‘bluebird’.)

last monthTamora - it fades to a still pretty lighter apricot as it ages, but I love the color when it first opens. (I know, I know, re the gravel mulch - it drives me nuts, but it was here when we bought the house a few years ago, and the coastal winds make it difficult to keep bark mulch in place.)

last monthI love the color orange but don't have many orange roses. Here are a few favorites among what I have.
Crown Princess Margaret in her first 2020 flush created a very fragrant bloom bouquet.
Fragrant Cloud is a classic HT rose that lasts well on the bush in my 9b garden. The reddish orange shade is strong and stunning at times. It makes a great cut flower.
Lady Bird named after the late President Lyndon Johnson's wife Claudia, is an exceptionally strong growing rose in sun, shade, cold, wind, etc. We don't get rain in the summer in Northern California but this rose sustains itself very well in most conditions. The blooms are often at least 5 inches. The only fault is the lack of fragrance. It can grow over 8ft tall.
Hooray for orange!Ann

Here's Port Sunlight

Elle.
Augusta Louise
And, although she's more white... I do love all the little peach buds on Sally Holmes.

11 days agoI have a confession… I don’t currently have any orange roses. I’m usually not drawn to orange colored roses... except for one called mademoiselle.
This is the one Orange colored rose I’ve seriously considered planting in my garden... I’m just trying to figure out how to make the tall hybrid tea form and Orange coloring work amongst my whites, pinks and lavender purples. I’d grow her purely for her fragrance. She smells like sweet ripe peaches... it’s one of the loveliest roses I’ve ever smelled.

11 days agoA couple more pics of her during my walk through Rogers Gardens. Let me know if you have her in your garden. I would love to see how she’s doing and planted amongst other flowers and roses.
