The back ground for my lap top is currently a beautiful autumn scene of a barn. I'm ready for fall. Very ready. My little sister is coming down from Amherst next weekend to do a big fall shopping trip with me, and I can't wait. I did a post last week for mustard yellow, and I would be remiss to leave out my other autumn color crush- deep rich orange. With any luck, I will be getting cardigans in both colors next weekend.
But enough about me- what are your fall color crushes? I know some people love reds, deep purples, or emerald greens in the fall.
Here are some beautiful deep oranges is decor. lovely, right?

I love the play of colors and textures here. The terra-cotta floor, lime green throw, bold orange wall, and art all lead the eye around the room. |

I adore this room. It's in my top ten for the summer. This room gets an A+ in my book. The rich wall color, bed coverings, the bed itself, and the folk art painted chest at the foot of the bed. All amazing. |

A neutral bedroom can change seasonally with just a few rotating accents. Here, the bed sheets a throw blanket, and the floral arrangement are all coordinating shades of autumnal orange. For summer, the home owner could bring in a lemon yellow or a soft turquoise. |

Another stunning orange dining room. The citrus hues are invigorating and refreshing. Again, wainscoting has been used to break up the color a touch. I love the touch slightly mismatched chair sets. |

Modern and vintage meet half way in this sunny little kitchen. The creamy color of the wall reminds me of pumpkin bisque. Shades of green add interest. |
|
So orange as to be almost red, these matching twin beds play off the similar shade in the carpet. The room is otherwise unadorned. A simple peaceful place to sleep. |

I have a very similar antique chest and last year I painted it an almost identical shade for fall. I loved it....for fall. Come winter and spring, the dresser color looked a wee bit incongruous with my otherwise green and white furniture. I imagine the same thing will happy this year with the mustard yellow sideboard I've been working on. That's ok though. I love a couple layers of paint on a piece. It ages so much better that way. |

Love the ladder- but it's the cupboard next to it that's catching my eye here. |

Gorgeous and every inch what I love about fall in New England. I do feel sorry for all you folks who don't have a proper Autumn, but then again, you probably feel sorry for us New Englanders when we get three feet of snow in January. |
It's me again, and now you've been bookmarked... I've been thinking of painting our bedroom orange, and this collection gives me, again, a better idea of what it might feel like.
ReplyDeleteNext time I'm heading up to Colchester, I'll email you first re: a visit. And I'll also be in touch when I rotate furniture, so that you can work your magic on my unwanteds. Or maybe we can trade... hmmm...
