I'm So Done (With Orange)!

It was only a few days until Halloween but I was so done with the orange!

I love October, I do!
It finally starts to cool off here in Texas. 
I love the idea of pumpkins and scarecrows everywhere but the orange drives me nuts. 

I picked up some flowers for my sister in law at the grocery store. 

I forgot to take them to her and they live too far away to run them by.
 They inspired a deeper tone for these last few days of October.

The deeper reds mimic the deep tones in a vintage oil painting. 

It was only $5.00 at the thrift store a few years ago.

I actually hid it from myself. It took me about a week to find it in my tote of Valentine's Day stuff. 

I know exactly how my brain was organizing that day. 

Flowers = Valentine's Day

It didn't matter that these look like Chrysanthemums to me and that the painting should have been with the fall stuff or maybe with the paintings. 

 The lamp came from Target. 

My husband loves it in the entry way. 

I like it here with the white painted cupboard.

I'm may head out this weekend to see if I can find another lamp for the dresser in the entry.

He asked why I moved it.

I told him that the other lamp looked better with the Halloween vignette. 

He was tormented by it and wondered if other husbands had to live with continually moving objects in the home. 

I know that other blogger husbands do. 

The acorn came from Pier 1 years ago. 

It got a silver leaf treatment.

I love, love the light green and pinkish purple of the flowers on the coffee table. 

They might have to come back for a Thanksgiving 
table setting.

How do you feel about orange by the end of October?

Linen Storage in the Giant Armoire

If you follow along with me on this journey called blogging, you know that I change the look of our bedding quite frequently. 

It is a way to show different looks for our bedrooms.

You might wonder where on earth we store all this bedding.

 I cleaned out the gigantic armoire in Jonnie's room.

I'm convinced this piece leads to Narnia. 

I pulled everything out and sorted by color. 

There are the winter whites.

The black bedding ensembles.

The various plaid throws used during the holidays. 

The summer reds are currently on the beds. 

I told you that I'd do some staging in Rebekah's room to show off the new headboard and the freshly painted little jelly cabinet.

I'm thinking about changing the bedding again.

How about orange?

It would be fun to bring in some fall and Halloween elements.

I plan to stop in at Walmart to see if they have some bargain orange fabric.

You'll hear all about it.
