I was never an orangy/terracotta/rust type of person but several years ago, my brother entered our name for a TLC TV show room makeover and we were chosen to have our living room redone. It’s a long story but after several meetings with the designer, these are the basic colors she chose for our room. I wasn’t crazy about it at first sight because it was not what I expected, but I did love the warmth of the colors. I always wanted our home to be a welcoming place for guests, full of warmth and love, and I think she saw the hue of my heart.
I now love this room. I love sitting in this room, soaking up the warmth of the colors. I am so happy that I have a place where I can welcome friends and strangers alike. Hospitality is a lost art, but for me, this room is a place where I can show just that to everyone who enters my home.
This post is a response to this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge: The Hue of You.

How fantastic that you were chosen and how neat that the decorator saw through your resistance and found something that’s really you – although you didn’t know it!. Great story!!

Amazing! I now know someone who won one of those things! 😉 When I saw the colors you listed in the short email blurb, I was going to offer to take it off your hands. I’m glad you like the warmth and how your room turned out. I’m sure others have felt the warmth of your hospitality, and the room color likely didn’t have anything to do with it.

I also love orange and chose almost that shade for a feature wall in the dining/kitchen area. I agree it is a very hospitable colour. Interesting back ground story. Have you done a post about it?

I love these colors even though I am more on the blue-green spectrum myself. But the peach/orange/red/brown combination is warm and inviting. The only thing that’s missing is a cup of Orange Pekoe and pumpkin pie 🙂
