We had a blonde twin bed set with two dressers that my grandma had purchased in the 50s when a hotel went out of business. (It's since been passed on to another relative for their visiting grandkids to use). We had colors similar to the room shown, but reversed -- green walls and solid blue bedspreads and rugs. Instead of a lamp on a bedside table, we had little reading lamps that hooked to the tops of our headboards. I can't remember the curtains -- my mom had white sheers with pleated drapes in the living and dining rooms, but I think she just put sheers in all of the bedrooms. As this picture shows, it's a nice look. This bedroom is so similar to the bedroom my sister and I shared in the 60s and 70s.

I'm not saying every home should have those colors (yikes!), but this IS a small thing I've seen repeatedly. I have no explanation for it. Ronn Ives Hi,

It’s been my experience that the most creative people are the least afraid to use the colors orange and green. I’m not saying every home should have those colors (yikes!), but this IS a small thing I’ve seen repeatedly. I have no explanation for it.
