I have an orange crush!

Good morning....I will be posting my house updates tomorrow (hopefully...am having problems uploading photos, as in it's taking many minutes to upload even one picture and you know I don't do things small..when I upload its A LOT of pictures so fingers crossed this kink is worked out by tomorrow) Besides loving a big orange Hermes box and lets face it what girl doesn't love that  what do you think about orange in decor? Whats your feeling on an orange room or orange walls? I happen to  love orange and definitely own some orange clothing, carry an orange Dogon wallet and love little pops of color of orange here and there. I once saw a burnt orange living room at sunset many many years ago and that image has stayed burned (no pun intended) in my mind ever since..wish I had taken a picture. It was a magical looking room, so full of warmth and it took on a fiery glow when it was enveloped in the late days suns' rays.....it was positively glowing! Orange has become a very popular color in the last few years.....you are seeing more of this color that was once was considered 'out there" and very avante garde. And its not limited to contemporary or transitional interiors by any stretch...as you will see. So lets take a look at some orange interiors....would love to know what you think! And if you could ever consider "orangerizing" a  room? You know I love to know!!

So have I won you over to love orange or were you already a fan? What do you think? Is it better left for Hermes boxes and Orange soda cans? I think its such a warm, fun and uplifting color that when used in the right space and the shade is just so, it can actually be quite beautiful.
Hope you have a wonderful day!
