Searching for ROYGBIV: orange

“Orange is red brought nearer to humanity by yellow.” - Wassily Kandinsky



I unfortunately did not actively search for orange this time around. With all the snowbound days I feel like we have been spending a lot of time indoors. So this morning when I saw Jennifer's reminder that today was the day for Orange, I searched my Instagram feed for orange.

The dining room is coming together. This room was previously dark navy blue.
When we moved to our new home, the first room I had painted over was our dining room. It used to be navy blue, now, a warm earthy terra cotta. I'm an earthy girl when it comes to wall colors.

I've been making a lot of butternut squash soup this winter searching for my favorite recipe. I think I finally found it.

of course, the orange in sunsets this past fall were beautiful over the rolling hills around these parts

  1. You did a wonderful job of sharing all this gorgeous color! I've been living in such a white/grey world so it is much appreciated.
