I’ve spent the past year or so de-saturating my house. Stripping it of contrast and color.

I’ve said goodbye to the navy walls (which I loved, by the way) and hello to a soothing gray/greige.

I’ve made dozens of envelope pillow colors in various shades of gray, greige & white (see tutorial here).

The bold navy & blue rug was replaced with a natural jute.

I sometimes find myself craving a little color.

And contrast.

And orange!

I mean, if you’ve been around from the beginning it all sorta started with orange when I slathered my son’s favorite color all over his bedroom walls (remember that post from 2012 which you can find here …)

As an aside, those photos make me cringe! If I do say so myself, the quality of my photography has greatly improved over those 7+ years.

My apologies for the 10,000 photos in this post! I just kept re-shooting the table at different times of the day to capture the right colors.

And contrast! 🙂

P.S. I feel like I missed a funny punny opportunity to play off the whole orange is the new black thing in this post!

Pin It!

    This is really gorgeous! So clean, fresh and elegant. Pinned for inspiration. Also picked it as one of my features at this week’s Snickerdoodle Create Bake Make Link Party, which goes live tomorrow (Saturday) at 5pm EST.

    Love the cute, little orange pumpkins and, if you ask me, they should be the must-have items of every Fall decor. I love how you play with contrasts and colors to create wonderful autumn vibe. Your table looks so beautiful and inviting!
