In Living Color ~ Golden Cricket

Last year, I was smitten with yellow. Not just any yellow, though, but a kind of deeper yellow, something like golden mustard. For some reason, I referred to this as saffron and have wondered if the color of saffron is really golden mustard or if I called it such simply because I like the word “saffron”.

Saffron… This leads me to my saffron bag. I love the Mossimo bag that I bought from Target a couple of years ago, the last one on clearance, for a mere $9.00. It sure was nine bucks well spent. To my surprise, I learned that saffron (or mustard yellow) is a versatile color and needless to say, was able to wear that lovely bag with many clothes for different occasions.

So while choosing colors for our home office, I appealed to Doug for a color similar to that Target bag. We settled on Golden Cricket (Behr #370D-6) and this was a good thing — the office looks warm and happy, the perfect color for the room where our ideas are born, unfold, take hold and grow.

Thanks for helping us paint this room, Mama! Here’s our office in Golden Cricket:
