While it has always been her favourite colour, I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that I have never been a huge fan of orange. BUT THEN Pantone named Tangerine Tango as the 'it' color of 2012 and suddenly I was seeing orange everywhere...and surprisingly, I didn't hate it. In fact...I was kind of loving it. I was particularly head over heels in the June issue of <a href="http://www.styleathome.com/the-decorating-for-every-budget-issue/i/246" target="_blank">Style at Home</a> magazine when I came across Marlie Waks's condo. Her living room and bedroom, splashed with fun orange accents, is invigorating, girly, fun and fresh.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOf_UgxqfWQlTF1PC43MgpDcpZPjck0KC94ZaeV6qXCtvoad-ISX9Li2Iid0Z7e_9nqxXXmpZfKfEgIs7qGMicf4je1_IpdcDvh_02a26PvtbvEnamGylPAOEZzfUCemm6aVlaMQ6WOE/s1600/orange+pop+2+marlie+waks+bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTOf_UgxqfWQlTF1PC43MgpDcpZPjck0KC94ZaeV6qXCtvoad-ISX9Li2Iid0Z7e_9nqxXXmpZfKfEgIs7qGMicf4je1_IpdcDvh_02a26PvtbvEnamGylPAOEZzfUCemm6aVlaMQ6WOE/s1600/orange+pop+2+marlie+waks+bedroom.jpg" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigngmY7c4erdcSw6aBTyKCVmLCgnX3Dd0ezN8olFkaBZN4z9qBmLcEprJiBs1w9WnvNWXMFNs23Kw6UCOvaBcCXDHkqrdaTFhCZ5_TqMtOMNuLV1MEa736vwgntbkEDuaIjf7fMQ8_VpU/s1600/orange+pop+1+marlie+waks+bedroom.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigngmY7c4erdcSw6aBTyKCVmLCgnX3Dd0ezN8olFkaBZN4z9qBmLcEprJiBs1w9WnvNWXMFNs23Kw6UCOvaBcCXDHkqrdaTFhCZ5_TqMtOMNuLV1MEa736vwgntbkEDuaIjf7fMQ8_VpU/s1600/orange+pop+1+marlie+waks+bedroom.jpg" /></span></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Isn't it gorgeous?

Dream House Alphabet: A

Perhaps it’s the character that they add to a space; character that screams: “This house isn’t cookie cutter, IT’S ONE IN A MILLION !”. Perhaps it’s the fact that houses with these kinds of detail are often old…they have a history, they have been called home for many years, and both memories and love are embedded into their walls. Someday I’ll buy one of these old houses, complete with quirky archways, fix it up, and be lucky enough to call it home.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtwFog5f4b686WDoSdINnSszRYnbFOF5uIzLCnHK1p3L_Tbs6VhNuqjkW7Jb4xxrAo2YED5KeR8XEmyMUieUBMWESYXEZ9llt8gV9Fh-z9ad3pDgwQHQAQ_FAzqpRHsEMB68QaEE1nu4/s1600/archway+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBtwFog5f4b686WDoSdINnSszRYnbFOF5uIzLCnHK1p3L_Tbs6VhNuqjkW7Jb4xxrAo2YED5KeR8XEmyMUieUBMWESYXEZ9llt8gV9Fh-z9ad3pDgwQHQAQ_FAzqpRHsEMB68QaEE1nu4/s1600/archway+1.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/128563764332078566/" target="_blank">via</a></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">^Love the large scale of this arch, as well as the leaded detail in the upper portion of the windows.

So feminine and delicate. I love the incorporation of Pantone's colour of the year, Tangerine Tango, in such a temporary form, yet it still steals the show. The upholstery on the chair is perfect, the floral pillow on the setee compliments the desktop accessories so well, and don't even get me started on the tutu inspired chandelier! I could go on and on! Photography by Monic Richard for Style at Home Magazine. <br />Do you love it?<br />Tiffany Leigh
