I watched so much Nick at Night as a kid. Laverne and Shirley was on at the diner tonight...I was appalled to learn that Pete never watched that, Happy Days, Get Smart, I Dream of Jeanie, or any of my old favorites.

I love this! I have to say, I actually watched their TV show when it was on, oh, so long ago. I LOVED them! Had their albums .... I still even have a Monkees ring. Somewhere. Thanks. Dragged a bunch of memories out of my brain archive. :) Oh my. I love this! I have to say, I actually watched their TV show when it was on, oh, so long ago. I LOVED them! Had their albums ….

I'll throw some pictures up next week. Although we are going to be getting some new furniture in a few months. So the living room is bound to change. I suppose my issue with the green, isn't that it's green. It's that there isn't any other green in the major living areas. We've been doing alot with wood tones at late, because they really warm up the whole place. That’s one of the reasons I used orange as an accent color, because it’s complementary.

I also like how you break up the flower bouquet and scatter them everywhere -- the only thing that holds me back from doing that is that one of my cats eats flowers -- nibbles on the leaves and then they die. Very annoying. I do like your knick knacks, especially Mr. and Mrs. Occupied Japan.

I used to have a blue bedroom with orange curtains and bedspreads. The curtains were sheer netting that I had dyed and I loved the way the sun shone through them and made the room all orange-y.
