I'm crazy about it (and have also seen a photograph of Mr. Hadley with one); unfortunately, they're always about a gazillion dollars (several thousand, anyway).<BR/><BR/>-ptAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-22479667461433655542007-07-16T23:03:00.000-04:002007-07-16T23:03:00.000-04:00Hi Jennifer!

You a...Hi Peak of Chic<BR/>Very thought provoking post. You are right that the three primary colors are hard to use and pull off well. There are lots of examples of two of the primary colors combined, but not many of all three done tastefully. Great Albert Hadley picture. I love the lantern in his room and what a grand scale he had to work with. Maybe that was one reason for his bold choice of colors and I am sure the person that sits in this office is equally bold. Good post.
