If your kids aren't already back to school, today's the day! It's sort of the unofficial start to fall, which always turns my attention to warming up things both inside and out. I can recall so many years when my children's teachers would ask students to draw a picture using favorite colors. I remember once it had to be their 2 most favorite colors. I have plenty of aqua in my home already, and I keep finding myself drawn to orange. Maybe just a throw or a few toss pillow will suffice.
Some of these pictures have just a hint of the colors and for others, it's a really bold gesture! But, I have saved them all as favorites. Enjoy my "pictures" using
orange & aqua!

I'm a huge fan of both colors in design! I have a deep, rich turquoise in my dining room on the back of the chairs and in the wallcovering. Also, I use punches of orange in my living room! Great images.
ReplyDeleteI am currently so "into" the idea of adding a bit orange here and there in my home!
ReplyDeletebringing orange into the home really warms up colder days to come!!! Love all your favorite inspiring pictures!!!!

Inspiring pics! These two colors play so well off each other and can come in so many interesting ranges.
ReplyDeleteI love the combo...in any amount of saturation...that kitchen is so yummy! Makes me want to get rid of the kitchen cabinet doors!
ReplyDeleteBest,

Orange is my favorite, thus the reason I put in my logo! Very inspiring photos!

ReplyDeletemy favorite new combo--at the horse show a table was done with turquoise ballroom chairs and orange tablecloth-so chic!

I use to dislike orange post 70's in a big way & for the last 10 years I love it. It just makes you feel good. Cheerful and optimistic to me. With turquoise it's a win/win.
ReplyDeleteHappy start to Fall. Although unofficial like you said once the kiddo's are back at their desks it's fall. I'm ready!
Cheers xo
Orange was definitely a color of the '70's (but you are too young to know!) and I did shy away from it for many years. I find myself adding pops here and there.......it adds warmth and comfort to most decor!
ReplyDeleteDid you take pix of your son's college room? Care to share? I am still working on follow up dorm post!
Orange ya happy that it is back-to-school and now we have more time to contemplate colors and things - love orange with any color and aqua too. I think it is time I drag out a stack of Hermes Orange boxes and Tiffany one's and play around with styling! See what you caused....or inspired~
