Didn't even realize there was a trend going on. When I go to the home stores, there seems to be so many options that I figured that we'd finally graduated to decorating our home to fit our tastes & needs. As for orange, I think it's a fun color--might use it in the kids' playroom later as an accent. Right now the walls are turquoise (yup, you read it right) and I've painted a tree and a (hey...orange!) sun on the wall. Looks fun.
