Emerald & Pumpkin
With Halloween right around the corner the streets seem like the are paved with the pumpkins!
{My beadazzled pumpkin from a few years ago!}
Seeing all of the pumpkins have reminded me of on of my favorite color combos: dark green and burnt orange.
One of my favorite rooms that showcase this particular color combo is this office designed by Scout Designs.
Here are some home decor accessories that you can add to your home and inject a bit of emerald and pumpkin to it:
1. While our Emerald City piece is mainly green it does have small peeks of orange all throughout the piece that add to it’s interest. It’s one of my favorites.
2. These beautiful chairs were part of a One Kings Lane tag sale and is no longer available, but the idea of it can still be used on any chair especially ones of the vintage variety. Put the spray paint on your next vintage find and simple recover them in a faux orange ostrich fabric and then top with green bolster pillow that can get a facelift with added orange greek key trim (item 6) .
3. Everyone needs a little bling in their life so during your next furniture revamp add a little sparkle instead of metal handles.
4. Yummy greek key pillows in our color story. So chic! Also a simple DIY project you can accomplish on your own if you pick up some ready made pillows and ribbon.
5. While these agate bookends are mainly our emerald green tone in the natural stone you see peeks of color and a little bit of orange peek through. Ebay is always my first go-to place for agate bookends for the best prices.
6. See item 2.
7.Lately everyone has been lusting after orange gourd lamps. I know I have as well. If you have in your home step it up a little bit and add an emerald green finial for a chic update that only costs $11 bucks!

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
I love orange and I love green…our living room is green and orange, but the colours aren’t as saturated as these greens and oranges…

It was pretty fast. Probably an hour total. People loved it and it lasted a long time.
funny…i was just thinking today how the 2 colors i never decorate with are green and orange. your inspiration photos make them look so appealing i may have to change that!
Orange and green together have a fresh look about them.
I adore your pumpkin.
Still love that pumpkin! I copied it last year and everyone thought it was great. Now I’m trying to figure out how to top it this year.
That was DYNAMITE!!! franki
Very “Hermes”. I saw a room that had an amazing desk-bleached grey wood with malachite insets and then you opened the drawers, the edges were that bright Hermes orange. Beautiful!
Great colors. Pops of orange are wonderful!
Super cool pumpkin. Love it!
