Orange you glad I have an eye for color?

Today was work day.

As I’ve mentioned, I have a little monster…ahem, bundle of joy…headed into the world more quickly that I’d like to admit.  I’ve undertaken the task to create a welcoming, stimulating environment for my heir so that he can grow up to be as much of a smart-aleck as his father. 

Our color theme for the nursery is navy blue, green, and orange.  Since the navy blue and the green dominate the bedding, we decided to use an orange accent wall to provide a bright note to the room.  Enter Donald Duck Orange.  I agreed to this color with a certain degree of trepidation.  Would it turn out to be hunter safety orange?  Would it truly match with the overall theme?

I have to say that it looks pretty good.  Special thanks to Pete’s mom for doing the dirty work of painting while Blitzfike (Pete’s father) and I hung a new ceiling fan, replaced a chandlier, removed a storm door, cut down an oleander tree/bush/thingy, and replaced all of our air filters.
