Peas. Carrots. And Corn.

When I was little, my parent's decor consisted of orange velvet club chairs, a cream colored sofa with yellow and green accent pillows, a big flagstone fireplace, a mid-century modern teak hi-fi and some oddly large, olive-stained wood grape things sitting on the pedestal base coffee table. But what I remember most were those colors: olive green, burnt orange, and goldenrod yellow. What I referred to as peas, carrots and corn. Just like the wee corner of vegetables they gave you in your favorite TV dinner aluminum tray. It cracks me up when I think of it now. Those colors are strong and present again, but with a fresh twist. Marimekko uses them a lot. But the fresh twist is evident. The twist was needed.
