My fave was Avocado, which we got lots of in shower and wedding gifts. Our very first apartment had avocado appliances! I enjoyed mixing in harvest gold elements, too. I love what you did with the globes. Did you just sit those globes right over the light bulbs, or are they fastened on somehow? Very clever! I have several small, low-wattage lamps and find myself fascinated with the patterns they reflect. My hubby doesn't quite understand my need for dimmer switches on everything.....he actually likes to see what he's eating!

First of all, I just love all the *golden* things you're adding to your home. The lamp globes are beautiful, and you're right, the shadows they cast are magical. Those glasses? My mom had a complete set in avocado green. She gave them to me, and I love them. My hubby doesn't, says they remind him of "grandma glasses" - exactly, I tell him!! I gave some to my daughter-in-law, because she also appreciates the loveliness of throwbacks!!<br /><br />I'm still a fan of earth tones, and adore the look of the brass. And though neither harvest gold nor avocado green would look good on me in clothes, I adore those colors for decorating. <br /><br />So I would not dare to call you old-fashioned, as our tastes are similar. As for calling you crazy...well...<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869212964119628808.post-47755209037830990872015-12-13T11:05:19.415-08:002015-12-13T11:05:19.415-08:00I went with Harvest Gold appliances and the only r...I went with Harvest Gold appliances and the only reason I changed was because it was no longer available.
