New appreciation for Plaza Hotel colours

More on beige, this time from Coun./Plaza Hotel manager Tina Lange:

“hi mel , 

“i enjoyed your article on beige.  in fact i agree totally. however i must set the record straight.  yes i was not wild about the color of the plaza heritage hotel when i took over and i would loved to have repainted it a nice solid gray/taupe to set off the great red windows.  then i realized that there were many better and more pressing areas in the hotel to spend $150,000.

 
 
“this past october i spent a week in portugal with two of my sisters and fell in love with the color of my hotel.  every building in lisbon reminded me of the plaza.  makes sense of course since the plaza is ‘spanish american design’.  i have attached a picture of a plaza looking building in lisbon.  the building looks like it is leaning but that is just my bad photography.  by the way i loved portugal and would highly recommend it for travel.
 
“and…i must let you know that i am the queen of color and known for bold colors in all my decorating.  i live in a little house on 700 block battle.  it was a very boring beige when i bought it.  a couple of years ago i had it repainted and now it is….. green, blue, pink, purple, and yellow!  nothing beige about those colors.  there are many houses in the ‘east end’ that are painted boldly and i like to think i started a revolution or at least an explosion of color.  i have attached a picture of my beautiful home. 
 
“and.. what color is your house?
 
“cheers… tina”
