Pushing Red, White and Blue

It's flag day tomorrow, a celebration of the red, white and blue.

I realize I am a slave to fashion when

I notice the size of my idea file packed with pictures of this color combination.

Red, white and blue, pushed modern.

The blue tilts towards the aqua

The red towards to orange.

Really tilting orange

Accents: lime green and gray.

Those are hardback books on the wall.

I've been thinking all year about how to restore the

bathroom in my old 1970/modern house.

And here's what I came up with.

Aqua, orange and white.

I kept the aqua/blue linoleum floor but had to say goodbye to the leaking blue bathtub and tile.

New white tub and surround so I could change the color scheme according to my whim.

I based the current colors on some turquoise and orange

dishes I have.

Japanese lustreware from 1940-1960. 

Two from my collection

Wish I owned this one.

I had no idea how I'd been affected by fashion

until I hung up the beach towels.

A retro color scheme

that's totally hot.
