Orange Integration

My absolute favorite color is orange and I don't discriminate when it comes to the shade or exact color name (pumpkin, tangerine, persimmon and so on).   The color evokes an emotional response of positivity and is associated with creativity, stimulation and enthusiasm.  I love adding small hints of it around my house; in fact I have a large wall painted orange or what my interior decorator calls cinnamon.  Below are some great pieces that could easily be integrated into your home to add a little positive energy! 

Quick Fix- Dining Room Table Centerpiece

Quick, Simple and Inexpensive with lots of possibilities! 

Hudson Bay Blanket

Obsession has set in!!!  I just came across the Hudson Bay point blanket and I want to use the print in every corner of my house.  The simplicity and warmth of the pattern would work well in most homes. The stripes on the blanket are green, red, yellow and indigo. 

 

Unfortunately, the price point is a bit north of my typically blanket budget but it is still fun to look at!

 

Here is the classic blanket and below that are some amazing uses of the print or the actual blanket itself!

Quick Fix- Mini Closet Makeover

 

 

I'm only sharing the after photo because the before is way too embarrassing. 

 

As a family of five, living in an area where it can be 70 degrees on Monday and 45 degrees on Friday, we always have a ton of jackets at the ready.  My quick fix was to add a tension rod to the bottom of the closet to hold the little ones coats.  The added benefit is that they can reach their jackets; which is one less step for me in getting them ready. 

 

I tried the tension rod on its own but found it was much sturdier if I added storage drawers under the rod.  These particular storage drawers were purchased at Target and are fairly inexpensive and are great for additional spots for hats, mittens, etc.

 

Happy Organizing!

The goal of this post is to replicate the items in this room as close as possible without breaking the bank.  Items are sourced from affordable retailers such as Target.  I will continue to update the post as I find closer matches or better prices.  

The style is very comfortable and I love how they mix and match pieces to create a warm and inviting environment.

My favorite and most affordable find are the photo ledges (link below).  I have something similar to these in my own home and absolutely love them.  The ledge is 6 inches deep so it can hold decorative items other than just picture frames.

Photo Ledge $29.99 (6" H x 6" D x 22" L w/ lip)

also available in ash, coffee and white - color shown in picture is black

This carpet seems to be a fairly close match but I did notice that the one used in the show appears to be woven and the recommendation below is more traditional carpet with 1/2 inch pile.

Rug Link 

Entryway Rug $99.00 + free shipping (4ft x 6ft)

also available as 5ft x 8ft, 6 ft round, 8 ft round and 8ft 10ft

 Pretty close match!!!  If you click on the image and follow the link you will see that these appear to be almost exactly the same as the Roman shades used in the show.

 

Roman Shade Link

Custom Roman Double Roman Shade- $50-$500

Available in a variety of shades & patterns

The table was a bit tricky to source and looks pretty custom.  This table is more of a traditional console table and is very budget friendly.

I counted thirteen picture frames in this photo so I thought I would throw in some nice options.
