Colors: Orange

This color yells energy, excitement, and warmth.

Orange can be very controversial, most people tend to love it or hate it. Especially if you live in South Carolina, your home is not under a rock, and you are aware of the Clemson/Carolina rivalry that dictates most of life for SC dwellers. I know plenty of women who refuse to even own an item that is orange, or others who have it as an accent everywhere in the house.

But completely aside from sports and how you feel about the color solely based on college football, orange can really bring a room to life! It is said to bring a sense of spontaneity and a positive outlook on life! Pretty amazing for a color, don’t you think? Not only can this color brighten up a room, but perhaps a life too!

And if you consider yourself to be adventurous, outdoorsy, or a bit of a risk taker, then orange is the perfect color for you!

DSCN1954Thinking orange but not sure how to start? Well ask yourself, just how bold do you want to go?

If your answer is “as bold as I can go” then here is our suggestion. Look for paint colors, furniture pieces, or accessories in a bronze tone type of orange. When used, the color will make a big statement, brighten up a room, or allow one item in your space to really pop! Remember though, a little goes a long way!

However, if your answer is “I like the idea and the color but maybe I can be a bit understated” then that is great too! Your suggestion would be to look for colors in more of soft pumpkin and melon shades. These softer shades will still provide the new look you’re after and can be used as paint colors or inspired furniture pieces!

So let your life be filled with bright, energized color day after day, year after year. Go Orange!

“Cock-a-doodle-doo” Decor

Ever met one of those women with the many roosters hiding all throughout her kitchen? It seems like everyone has! You can almost picture her now- she may be your mother, grandmother, or even your friend. And age makes no difference in this matter, I’ve even known college classmates to have the obsession.

Remember that first time you walked into her kitchen and found the animal perched in almost every corner? Or maybe you’re reading this and realizing that it’s your kitchen I’m describing and that you’ve been a “rooster kitchen” woman for quite some time now. Whether it’s a ceramic figurine, a painted plate, salt and pepper shakers, or a set of dish towels, this bird can be put on just about anything.

There’s just something about that bird that “crows” country kitchen in the world of style and design. So here’s to you, you Country Kitchen Queen! Your style is definitely a cock-a-doodle-DO!

What We Can’t Live Without

Okay, we know you all have it! That one piece of furniture or decor that pulls your entire room together! It’s the thing you “can’t live without” because you know that room in your house just wouldn’t be the same if it was gone. And the funny thing is- it’s not always the most prominent piece in the room. Often times it’s your smallest accessory that catches your eye when walking into the room. Just another reminder that the little things really do count!

So why do you love it that much? Maybe it’s the color that it’s painted, or the fabric that pieced it together. Or maybe it’s been in your family for so long and has been passed down through the generations.

Whatever the case, why not design your room off of it? Make it a focal point by pulling out the color and adding in other accessories that match it! If it’s furniture, find complementary pieces that match in style or in color! You never know what design direction it could take you to!
