{how about a little break from holiday preparations?}
This month, Pantone announced the 2012 color of the year. How excited am I?!
Meet “Tangerine Tango:”
If there is anything true about {darlene}… it is that she LOVES the color orange. And talking in third person makes it even more fun, doesn’t it?
Enough from me, and my odd third self.
Bask in these joyous images of tangerine orange, and I dare you not to feel spunky, happy, lively, and energetic. Dare you:
That was like a free therapy session wasn’t it??

I adore any shade of organge so I was thrilled to see that was the color of the year! I’m off to check out your other orange posts too…
oh, me too! me too! yay orange!!!
Very pretty. I’d have to add it in small doses like pillows, not walls and couches. But very pretty.
Yes! that is the beauty of orange! you can crank it up as much as you want, or tone it down, using more pumkin-y tones and in a throw pillow or two. Either way, you have a dose of joy in your space.
I love orange and am so glad it’s not just for Halloween anymore.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!!!! Why wouldn’t you. You can’t not be happy in a room with some fun shade of orange in it. Tried to talk the hubby into a orange sofa (corally really) he looked at me like I was nuts. Now I can show him that I’m hip & he needs to keep up! Hahaha. Thanks for finding & sharing all of those great great photos to drool over.
Merry Christmas!
YES! Orange and I are long-time lovers! Boudoir! Just threw that in. Seemed appropriate. (Thank you for the surprise pic at the bottom!)
Oh, I love it so! Orange just makes me smile. I try to figure out a way to use it in every room!
Take care and Merry Christmas!
