Orange You Glad


this isn't another insipid purple post?








It's Autumn in New York!
Pops of gorgeous orange around
every corner have me inspired.

And yet...




Orange + Purple
So unexpectedly pretty together!

OOH - just love orange. And orange and blue is my favorite combo. Love in the second shot the juxtaposition of the b/w tiles in the hall to the panelling of the library.

For years I thought I didn't care for orange, then when we remodelled our home, I found myself using it as our accent color - go figure. Now I love it. That Lot C sign is calling my name.

I've really come to enjoy orange and actually love it with purple. It brings back memories of my sister's dorm room in the 80's where the curtains were purple and orange swirls. :)

Stephanie said...

Until I got to the bottom of the post, I was going to say - Can't fool us, we see the purple! Did you see the orange Hermes Leica (a mere $14,000)? Why not accessorize your room with the perfect camera?

shari @ little blue deer said...

Orange and purple totally go together! I love it! As you know, I adore orange, Hermes, Hermes, Hermes! XX!

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...

I love purple as much as you do. And I am loving the right shade of orange lately, too.

Alcira Molina-Ali said...

Gourgeously inviting, seasonally-appropriate spaces. That first room makes me want to sit down with a good book, a latte and a huge, phat slice of pumpkin pie with whip cream on top ;P

Bailey@ peppermintbliss said...

Why am I LOVING orange so much lately?? Is it just because it is fall? Am I THAT predictable? I don't know but I crave it.

Sarah said...

I am! All these orange is divine. The third photo down is my favorite!

Splendid Willow said...

Orange and rust are my favorite accent colors! Look lovely together with white and gray. And now you just showed me that even purple and orange get along!

I am putting some of these images in my own, personal style file.
