My Orange Crush



I'm not sure when my crush for all things orange began.


It wasn't my favorite color growing up.
That was pink!


But I love it now! 

I love it's warmth.

House and Home Magazine

I love it's energy.

I love it's playfulness.

I like that it can be sophisticated too.

I love the way it complements other colors.


Elle Decor


Stephen Gambrill, Interior Designer

I love how it can range from hot, hot, hot.... to not.

I love how crisp and clean it looks when paired with white.


And when it's mixed with pumpkins and gold and takes on a burnt look.......? 
Yeah I love that!

(Yes, Texans love burnt orange!)

I know there are people on both sides of the orange fencing...


So which side are you on????

  2. Those orange images are very inspiring. I think Orange is as happy as yellow but with warmth and anything that reminds me of the sun makes me happy....great post. Thanks

  4. I've been warming up to orange lately, and these pictures are heating things up even more!! I especially like the bedrooms from House and Home and Donna Rosen Interiors.

    Funny -- when I was sitting in the waiting room at physio this morning, I noticed that each wall is painted a different colour. And my favourite wall was the orange one :-)

  5. Orange gives a room great energy, even if you just you a little of it.
    BTW I have that Dwell bedding in my guest room!

  6. I love orange as an accent but have never used it myself. My post today was green - we are on a color thread, Sally!

  7. I love orange accents, particularly in flowers. Had a party last week and bought some orange roses that were beautiful. They made a real statement.
