How do you bring a little bit of color to a space without spending anything? Group the things you already own by hue. Functional objects can also double as decor: a stack of red books on a coffee table, a basket of purple yarn next to a chair, or a kitchen shelf lined with yellow mugs...

When is a rainbow rigid? http://stylenorth.ca/blog/2008/10/ma-zones-glassware-kaleidoscope/
Perfect timing on this post! I've been gathering up all my orange bits and pieces to add some punch to my family room and it's working beautifully AND I'm not having to spend much money at all to get my orange fix!
Can anyone identify the lounge chair for me? Thanks!
The Chair is a Eames Aluminum Group.
Love the pic also!

Isn't this what some birds do when building nest? I'd like to think we're a little more evolved than that!
