What Matches Orange

What matches orange?
The husband asked thinking the couch was a mistake.

She was a decorator – not a paid one,
but nevertheless, she was a visionary.

She had the room put together in a week.
People raved about its beauty.

Husband tried to take credit for the orange couch a couple of times.
One look made him back off; but he never questioned her taste again.

Friends of friends came for months to see this gorgeous room.
Orange goes well with every shape, style and color in the world.

Hmmm...I always defaulted to what Deb said matched, although sometimes I thought she was wrong. For example, I think pink and red go together in some combinations, but she never would agree!

I love pink and red together - I use it often. Weddings in February use pink and red all the time!

My husband went shopping with the lady half of the couple that remodeled our kitchen. I was not happy with the handles they bought the cabinets until they held them up…I am not a decorator…proof positive.

I have gobs of orange in every room - and a brilliant neon orange chair!
