Hello and welcome to the third edition of Orange Crush, a collaborate series between From the Right Bank to the Left Coast and Down and Out Chic. You can see previous installments here and here. Why this series? Well, Alek and I are hoping to convert the last of the orange haters (you know who you are) to people that appreciate the complexity of this warm and inviting color.

ReplyDeletelittle bits of orange in your home would have to cheer you on a daily basis. wouldn't it? yes, it would. so there, it's a must :)

it's funny you said that because im not a huge orange fan but when i think of it in decoration or the earthy orange tones i really do love the color. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are such amazing fall images!!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely collection! I especially love the soft oranges - that bicycle shot is just great. This is why orange is so great - it doesn't always have to be loud like people think. And thanks so much re: AT. I'm pretty psyched.
