Pantone's 2012 Color of the Year.................

Tangerine Tango


What can we do with this???!  At first I was a bit taken aback by how vivid (read: in your face) this color is.    Sure it would be fun as a jacket (I have one this color! yippee-I'm in style!!) but do we actually decorate with it??  In 2012???

If it's toned down by neutrals I think it's very livable....

...or maybe not.  Does this poof remind you of a pumpkin??? I'd toss that part out.

oh my.  I was liking this until I really looked at the half wall for a while....but I like the floor cushion!!

 I'm a sucker for a barn door.  I wish I had somewhere to put them in my house.  So does my husband.....no, really.  Maybe.

I really do like it with gray.

I'm thinking this is fun.  And we all know a bedroom should be fun!

Why do I think that "if I was single, I would so do this"....

 Wild thang.

 I do love the art with the tangerine lipstick--the right side of this picture just was attached and I didn't know how to get rid of it.  That side is a bit dorm room for me.  But I do love the huge art. And the fact that there are no "token" tangerine knick knacks to try to make things look pulled together....

.

OK, now the stools are fun.

Is it the orange or the gray??

 ..Maybe I could take this much.

Or this much

Honestly, this is probably about as far as Tangerine Tango will make it in my house.
And my jacket.  Slung on a chair.  How 'bout you???

Take care,

Cheri
