Forever Orange

Fall has come and gone;  taking with it its vibrant colors of yellow's, red's and orange's.  That may be true for my outside world!!    Noooooo... don't make it go away in my inside world too!!  All the pumpkins and fall decor will be soon packed away, in preparation for the winter season.  

Giving up those fall colors always makes me sad, so I keep the orange going all year!!!

A little bit of orange on the bowl (Jewel Tea) that belonged to my mother-in -law.

It compliments my one orange wall


which compliments the living room wall art.


One of the guest bedrooms is orange.


with a coordinating orangish chair


In fact the bedspread in the master has hints of orange.


Oh, and lamp shades are.......you guessed it!!


Did I forget a few decorative accents in my favorite color?



And I saved the best for last.  This wonderful old farm kitchen table and chairs belonged to my dad's parents, it was their first kitchen table.  It has been painted and re-painted many times.  It is over 100 years old.  When I inherited it, I stripped down all the layers of paint, and guess what color I painted it?




And that's the way it is....................

  3. Good for you keeping your favorite color around. Orange is a joyful color. It is also supposed to be good for the immune system. Well, if it makes you happy why wouldn't it be?

  9. I could not believe my eyes...my mother has that very same bowl...I love it.
    I used to hate that 70's orange color but have grown rather partial to it too. Wonder what that means...
    hmmm, love the old table and chairs. They are true treasures.
    Blessings and Happy Thanksgiving
