Vitamin C

Are you taking your daily dose of Orange now winter has set in? Me, I'm hale and hearty after getting my annual flu shot and thus having 'flu-like symptoms' (the flu) for 2 weeks. But hey, at least I decided when I was going to have my flu this year. Got it out of the way nice and early. 
Now, my dears, I've got some nicely vivid color for you to blow through a grey (or white) week. I mean fearless, all-out orange, drenching entire rooms. It's tempting to lean towards retro every time with it, as it so suggests neon 60's and woolly 70's, but with barely a nod in that direction here's some courageous commitment to color. I'm starting out with monochrome...which always implies black and white to me, but simply means one color. Guess which one. 

I'm admiring the pendant lights.

However, if you aren't the type to saturate a color (no offense, but few of you are, we're a rare breed) adding a splash of it in the form of supercool pieces is the way to go. If you're not even brave enough to do that, come see me for color therapy.
