   Very snazzy! I think orange looks especially well in textiles – to my mind it’s a hard colour (totally subjectively) and needs the softness of fabric to work in a welcoming way, helped by the milkiness of those lovely greys. I’m looking forward to seeing the Eames placement in your new house.

   orange is indeed back. i’ve posted last week 3 times on orange, as 3 brands were standing out it in the cologne fair in germany. i love all of them, and the cassina one fits your grey+orange crush.

   Yay, I’ve needed my orange fix for some time now! I’m seriously crushing on that room with the tree wallpaper, orange Eames armshell, and Eames bird. I think I posted it a few months ago too, and I can’t shake how much I love it!

   Love the gray, but living in the midst of UT (TN) fans, I get all the orange I can stand! I’ll just imagine all that orange as red

   Orange has never caught my attention much, but it sure does here with the gray. A great color combination. I like the subtle touches of orange in the rooms of gray. It’s just right.

    I’ve never experienced an orange crush month, but I like it! My bedroom is just recently orange and grey and I’m loving the combo.

    yep love it. I like the calming mixed with the vibrant. I’ve been on an orange kick too. Searching for a chandelier to spray orange right now….

    I’m loving the orange and grey combination. I remember seeing little touches of orange in your old Seattle house and I can’t wait to see how you decorate with it in the new house.

    Hope you have a great day!

    I am new to your blog, and I love the Orange Crush concept! I fully plan on participating in your style in one photo challenge as well…not as easy as I thought. And that birch tree wallpaper…I have it in my Vt. condo, posted about it, adore it, and now pondering adding a pop of orange somewhere in that room! Thanks!

    I have mised Orange Crush and am glad it’s back. Orange might not be for everyone but I find it a good substitute for red, since I’m not a “red” person. I also love the birch wallpaper from Ferm.

    I am contemplating painting my breakfast nook orange and can’t wait to order paint samples.

    I can’t even tell you how much I love grey – it’s the perfect neutral – it goes with everything! And how perfect your post is and how lovely – I can’t seem to get enough of grey with orange lately! in fact i just bought these great orangey thomas paul pillows to go with a greyish-brown chair in our living room…just the best combo!!

    I always wander back to orange; so way, some how.

    Hard to be grumpy with pops of orange surrounding you, wouldn’t you agree? xx

    Lucila: Those photos are gorgeous! Argentina is high on my list of places to visit. It’s one of my husband’s favorite places too so we’ll definitely be coming one of these days.

    Eliana: For me, orange is always in!

    Susan: Totally understandable. If I lived in Tenn., it may be the one thing that would turn me off of orange.

    Jenn: Welcome to your first Orange Crush!

    Naomi: An orange chandelier is such a great idea. I would love one.

    The Zhush: It is such a hard challenge! I’ll look forward to your one picture.

    Anita: Don’t tempt me!

    Deb: I think orange is the happiest color there is – right up there with yellow.

    What I like an orange and grey bedding is that is transform the bedroom in a gender neutral zone. Plus I love the coziness of the flannel sheets from Toast.

    I did a wedding stationery set in orange and grey for a Santa Fe couple who married this past fall.

    I loved it when they were bold enough to embrace the color combination – and from this post, it’s even better when you use it in decor!

    Thanks for this post – very inspiring!!

    I am not usually a fan or orange and grey together, but this really works! They found a way to make it work, the bed and the pillows are especially cute.
