| Bright red kitchen cabinets! (above) |
Awhile back I posed the pressing question…red v. orange in home decor? I know…other pressing questions really do exist…but at that as my mind wandered…as it does so often, I thought, “I must wonder out loud…which color is better red or orange? I must ponder this…”. Bizarre I know…but I did manage to spend a bit of time thinking about that question. I know I could have been doing some real good in the world in even the ten minutes I spent way back when I first asked this question…but instead I was probably sitting in my velour Juicy Couture sweat pants thinking “Huh, I wonder what I like better, huh, hmmm, huh…red or orange? Hmmm…” Well, the bad news was, I didn’t have a definitive answer back then…but now I do! Hoorah…we can all breath a sigh of relief. The answer is here. (P.S. do not laugh at me regarding the Juicy sweat pants I wear as my around-the-house garb…I really find them so comfortable…so comfy that sometimes I even sleep in them…is that bad???).
Anyhooo….the answer…yes the answer…
Red. Red. Red is my answer. I like red. The trends say like orange I’m sure…I don’t care…I love a wonderful vibrant red in all aspects of design including fashion.
Wouldn’t I just love to wear this amazing gown to a holiday party this next month? I’d show up in this gown even if they said it was a hay ride and plaid flannel shirts were the recommended attire.
In decor, there is nothing like a bright red door to cheerfully welcome visitors inside. I even like these red cabinets…the rest of the kitchen has wood grain cabinets but then the stove area pops with this vibrant red.

What do you think of this bright red? To bright for you or is a touch here and there just right? Do tell? Do!
Happy Monday!

Interesting!… just as I am pondering the use of RED, and that I do not use it, or rather, had a client wanting to use red… LOVE the kitchen wall, totally awesome!
I just did a slightly different Red post…. 🙂
Gorgeous images. I prefer a slightly more muted red for interiors, but that’s certainly a striking front door!
This is awesome! Love the red!!!

Love red doors !! We painted our black door to red…mad a statement..now we have painted it white though as Im crazy about the color white 🙂 xo
Love the red kitchen wall – what a great idea!
I must confess that red scares me, but that front door is stunning!
I am not a fan of red on a front door although this color red is really popping. I also love the accent red on the kitchen cabinets. Very eye catching.
That is QUITE a dress! The berries look quite tasty too!
I love red and orange, and am always trying to think of tasteful ways of combining both in my home. I think they can coexist.
Love red and love that front door and only wish I could wear that red dress but the red kitchen might be a bit too much on an everyday basis..I’m just sayin’
I adore red and always have! Looks fantastic! Coco, you NEED to make some of my Christmas tree cones with your FABULOUS fabric!! Add a touch of red trim at the bottom of them! http://www.thecreativityexchange.com/2011/11/fabric-covered-poster-board-tree-cones-part-2.html
Cheers!

WOW. Such a happy shade of red. I’m actually a little surprised at how much I really like it!
Pretty sure I need to have this colour in my kitchen one day!!!!
We like the door and the entrance too. It has personality!
LOVE the pops of red! It is simply fabulous. The red cabinets are my favorite, they make the kitchen so fun and playful. And the red door just begs guests to come on inside!
