Beautiful!
Can't beat a healthy harmless obsession. Should also help with finding the place if you ever forget your way home from the pub...

Short for
"House of Orange-Nassau", (Huis van Oranje-Nassau), the Dutch royal family!

Ahhh, as per the original Orange studio - would be tough as I don't have a basement but the 'man cave' is shaping up nicely..

Two pubs just a few yards away - and everyone knows where I live, so no probs there. Yup, Mrs RB used to work for ABN AMRO - so we're clued up with the Orange culture. Your man William of Orange set up the Bank of England I believe - quite a powerful dude in GB.

How very unreasonable...
I'm lucky to live in such a great place (the entire Island not just the house) but have to admit that much as I love the orange, it's maybe a bit too 'in yer face' for me...
Cheers,

I think the Orange Crest would look good on that wall too...
