Seeing orange in a “green” house

I was thrilled this summer when students at the University of Tennessee chose Kim Henry Designs to create pillows, bedrolls, place mats, a bedspread and chair cushions for the UT Living Light house, a 750-square-foot home that runs on solar power alone. The house, created by the students, is set to compete in the Solar Decathlon 2011 in Washington, D.C. later this month.
According to today’s Knoxville News Sentinel, “UT students across 10 disciplines–architects, engineers, graphic designers and culinary students–spent two years designing, funding, building and marketing the solar-powered home. The biannual event is sponsored by the Department of Energy.”
I thoroughly enjoyed helping to decorate this house–with ORANGE accents, of course! (And also a few gray!) See if you can spot everything in the video below.

Good luck to the Living Light team as they compete!
