How I Discovered That I Did NOT Like Orange !

Johnathon Adler’s Home

Do not pass out, that is right I am doing a post on the color Orange!! For those of you that read my blog you already know that I dis-like the color orange and I have mentioned it many times. In fact a few of my fellow bloggers love to tease me once in awhile about that very fact. You all know exactly who you are!!

I thought I would tell you all how my Hate dis-like for the color orange originated.

A long long time ago in a far off place. Oops!! that is another story.

In 1973 we purchased our very first home. We were so excited even though it was an older  home it was our very first and we loved it. It needed a few things done and one of the main things was the kitchen floor.

I know I am showing my age on this post too. Back in the olden days the new kid on the decorating block in flooring was Armstrong solarian linoleum. It was a very good product and a bit higher priced than other linoleum's. Since it was the 70’s the color “Rust” was also the new kid on the block.

We paid our hard earned money they laid the new “Rust” flooring down.  I bought rust colored curtains for the adjoining laundry room. I was Happy Susie Homemaker.

Until………..!!! I woke up the next morning and looked at my shiny new floor and I literally shuttered. Oh NO what have I done, I hate it!! It  actually made me feel nervous and unsettled!!

So that is how Kathysue began to hate orange and she has lived happily ever after without any orange in her life.

The following images are dedicated to all of my fellow bloggers and readers that love the color orange. If this does not show how much I will do for my readers nothing will!!!

If You need **Sparkle** In Your Life Try This!!

I am a gal who does love a little **sparkle** in my life. Not a lot but just enough to feel a little special. I had to share this great top I just bought for the Fall. I think it is a dress-up/ dress-down look. Let me know what you would put this top with!!

This is from the Macy’s add, I only wish I looked like this in it. It is actually figure flattering and the wonderful moss green sequins are gorgeous. Here is a picture of the actual top so you can see the amazing color. Perfect Moss green for Fall.

In this picture you can see the amazing color of the sequins. I love this top!
You can find this top here.

I can’t let you go without giving you a few rooms to look at that will go with this top.

So after seeing this top what would you wear with this?

Playing House!!

Remember when you were a child and you use to play house? I use to set a little table pick weeds, you know the pretty little yellow flowering weeds(dandelions) and put them in a jar in the center of a table. Even if we just had a blanket on the front lawn, each and every corner of the blanket was either a living room, kitchen, or bedroom. Oh the imagination of a child!!

I have talked to a couple of friends in the last few days and we were talking about Fall decorating and how fun it is to be home and “Play House.”

Playing house to me is not a big undertaking but simple little things that I do that just make me happy and content.

1. 
   
   Pick a flower or just greenery and bring it inside and place a vase in the bathroom, kitchen window sill or on a desk.
2. 
   
   Clean out my sink really well and shine it up with window cleaner.
3. Spray linen spray on bedding and furniture.
4. Fluff up the pillows to make them nice and plump.
5. Light a candle
6. Turn on little ambient lights
7. Play soft music and hum along.

As you can see from my list, none of these things take very much effort, but can bring so much pleasure and contentment. I guess it is always the simple things in life that never disappoint!

What are some of the ways you play house?

Playing as a grown-up and doing some things that bring back that childhood joyful, contented feeling.
