hello friends, hello fall

Well, it's fall...

all summer I kept meaning to get get to the blog, to get to your blogs, but life just got in the way. I've missed you, friends.

Project Brownstone has wrapped up, except for a few key delinquent pieces, whose absence have prohibited me from taking proper photos. Now that the family has returned, it may not happen, but I'm happy to say they were delighted with their home... It was few months of crazy, and somewhere along the way, summer passed me by. It's time for a much-needed slow-down at work, with only a few clients on my mind at the moment.

I love this time of year, with crisp days requiring cozy sweaters and the return of crackling logs in the fireplace, apple cider and fresh bread warming up the kitchen. While I'm not too keen on the traditional muddy earth tones associated with fall, orange always has a special place in my heart, and I've just come across two very beautiful spaces that feel very au courant.

first, it was this room um... can you say perfect? I literally gasped when I saw it. I love every single piece. For those of you who love interiors as much as I do, you know how rarely that happens.

then, this room caught my eye... a more relaxed take, but the vibe is very similar.

a little swagger, a bit of cool, a lot of cozy... and there it is again, perfection. That, lovelies, brings us to my first fall palette:

Caught up, I went digging around to find more of the same...want to see them? (of course you do! We're all in this for the eye candy, aren't we?!)

What do you think? Are you feeling it?

yea or nay: the orange movement

Orange. No other colour does happy so well. Yellow likes shout and be the centre of attention, and pink always want to bring love into it, but only orange is happy for the sake of being happy.

For many years, orange was my favourite hue. I once had a bedroom with walls the colour of tang :) It was the most wonderful room to wake up in. In our last home, every room had at least a splash of it - even my kitchen chairs were orange!

Pantone has chosen Tangerine Tango as their colour of the year, and while I don't agree with people using a colour just for the sake of being trendy (covered that in last years post about the colour of the year) , this warm orange is quite fitting for the times.

Tangerine Tango skews toward red, and all that warmth is as enveloping as red, but without any aggression. While people around the globe are trying to put their lives back together after a tumultuous few years, we could all use a little extra warmth and happiness, right?

I have always liked orange best when it was clean, perhaps containing a bit more white, or flirting with yellow, rather than red...

but right now, the softer side of orange is on my radar.... (that's thursdays post :)

What do you think? Is there a place in your home for these exuberant orange hues?
