Lynne,
I wondered why O-R scrubs were colored a sort of light teal rather than white. I guessed colors such as this were indeed the complementary colors of red. Red as BLOOD. I also supposed the colors reduced glare from the lighting, but I dunno if that has anything to do with it.

When I see pics of Danvers & stats on how big it is, I would think it would take DAYS to completely explore it...

It's an interesting shade of green...a kind of bright mint green almost...quite unlike the drab greens found in military & government buildings.

I was thinking the same thing - the brickwork & scrolling on the mantel makes it look like it belongs in someone's living room...
