Hermes Orange Crush...... a little green too!


 Orange crush


Many have coveted this colour.


On Monday I walked in my prized box to my favorite group of people at Elder paint in Tulsa, Oklahoma.


In a matter of minutes a plain can of Red Seal Pratt & Lambert was transformed into the coveted colour!


 A friend & client is painting her home, we have settles on the color palette but the orange was up in the air, we solved this though with a quart of paint.



Using my Hermes box,the color was matched to perfection and applied to her walls.



The end result is lovely,simply orange and yes, a bit of a crush color!

Hermes boxes



 


Bob Brown, from Atlanta Homes magazine used a pop of Hermes orange in this otherwise chocolaty room.

Just a pop injects a color punch of this coveted colour.....









Novogratz couple Bob and Courtney used the orange in a SIXX designed room.










A Hermes orange horse head from The blogging equestrian......








Hermes orange tray, adorned with my fav shade of roses!


 Love the horse in the background and the oriental influence in the art and that rustic lamp base.

Caroline-
I did not know that but I welcome the hue! Ever since my nana fell in luv with orange,I too became spellbound.As the Hermes crush lingers,it must be a product of my lifelong fascination with those lovely four legged creatures of flight!
Thank you for the comments,
Best always,

love orange and this color is perfect!! I had an orange kitchen in Dallas for many years (walls, not cabinets;)
I love succulents too. I tend to overwater (they don't like that;) so I literally keep a note that lists the days I water them so I don't kill them with kindness -once a month in the summer and about ever 3 weeks in the winter (heat on in the house tends to dry them out quicker.)

hope all is well in OK!
