orange walls...

Love this foyer for fall. Pretty staircase (remember, I have a thing for staircases), pretty botanical artwork, nice orange walls,  and how about the black outlining? Love it...

What do you think? Would you paint ever paint an orange room, like an entryway? Personally, I would if it worked with the colors in the rest of my house, I like small unexpected pops of color in small spaces.

Here are some other orange rooms--found a lot of these pictures before I started my blog so I can't remember most of their sources, let me know if you know where they're from...

I know this isn't really an orange room, but the orange and natural colored leaves definitely add a punch to the wall.

How about an orange ceiling? This looks great on those tall 12' ceilings, and the orange adds a lot of warmth to the rooms.

Love this idea of painting the back of your bookshelf a bright color instead of the whole wall. This gives you the feeling of an orange room without actually having to look at 4 orange walls all the time.

yea or nay?

That pendant is gorgeous!! I love the way it filters the light in the room. I'm really loving the very dark stain on the molding in contrast with the light walls. Very crisp, very clean.

I don't remember where I found these photos, but if I remember correctly, this living room is in the same house as the bedroom. I like it, but I don't love it. I want some accent color in here, and I think a rug would have grounded everything in the room. I think some artwork, or a mirror on the mantle (instead of that tall plant) would have made for a better photograph. I do like the neutrals against the dark molding, once again.

This picture interest me more, but I want to see what that hanging fixture in the dining room looks like up close! Still want to see a rug in this room though...

sooo...yea or nay? what do you think?
