When she comes to visit, she buys us fresh, bright flowers as a 'mitbringsle'--German for a hostess gift. (I probably spelled it wrong since I am not German!)<br /><br /> I've ordered a big red poinsietta. That should help greatly. It wouldn't help you, though, would it, since red makes you cranky? LOL<br />Red makes me feel festive. I love it.

Red makes me cranky. <br />I like brown hues as well for when I want to relax. <br />For you now brown space, try fresh cut flowers in bright colors. There's nothing like fresh flowers to bright and please.Terri Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18162233044268346894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-20018192198114253812010-12-02T06:47:16.371-08:002010-12-02T06:47:16.371-08:00Julie, you sound like you know what you're doi...Julie, you sound like you know what you're doing! I'm not great with decorating but your suggestions are wonderful. I'm now on the hunt for those little touches of color to add some life to the room.

We painted our rooms a pretty "tuscan beige". Sadly, that meant my family room was no longer the same shade of terra cotta as the hermitage I stayed in in New Mexico. What a loss!<br /><br />I have added accents of terra cotta, dark green and goldenrod in the room to brighten it up. I love rich, bold colors rather than pastels. Textiles, pillows, candles all have helped me reclaim my space. <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Peace, JulieJulie Hilton Steelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17674573842046580196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-52263490825408985262010-12-01T13:24:06.293-08:002010-12-01T13:24:06.293-08:00Leann, a big thanks to your scientist husband.

I'm not a great decorator so I don't have any brilliant ideas. But I do love bright colors (and I live in a house full of guys) so I understand how you feel. My favorite colors are orange, yellow, purple, lime green.
