Every woman has a fantasy. You know you do. Maybe you fantasize you’re living on the beach with Adam Levine at your disposal for regular and frequent foot massages. Maybe you fantasize of winning the lotto and traveling the world, or maybe you fantasize you miraculously wake up one day with Gisele Bundchen’s body and you just happen to run into your old boyfriend who dumped you. Those are commendable fantasies and I wouldn’t turn down any of them.
But here’s my fantasy. I want to shop at Lillian August and not have to look at price tags. I want to say ‘I’ll take that, and that, and that, tyvm’. This is a pretty lofty fantasy, considering a typical chair costs about $3,500 and a throw blanket about $500.00. *Sign* (Last year, I visited Lillian August and took enough pictures to justify three posts! You can see them here, here, and here.)
Back to reality.
Here’s some pictures of a recent visit. Notice how all almost all of these pictures have some orange furniture and/or accessories in them? Who said Emerald Green was the new hot color?? Looks to me like orange is trending right now…guess Emerald will make its debut next year.
I love a dining table that sports comfortable chairs
An interesting mix of colors that really pop! Love the mirrored bed too!
Another example of comfy dining chairs. These are such a pretty color blue!
Orange and blue, complementary colors, always look great together.
Such a cool rug, don’t you think?
A very stylish and comfortable outdoor ‘room’.
Yup, no doubt about it. Orange is big right now, and I love it!
I’ll be back next week with some more pictures of inspirational rooms that are drool worthy.
What do you think of orange? I never used to like this color, but I’ve done a complete 180. I’m lovin’ it!
Baye says
OMG! I’m lovin’ the orange. I’ve been looking for a chair in an orange for my family room which has a brick fireplace. If orange is trending, I may just find one!
I also redid a set of furniture for my sun room in denim that is begging for a splash of color. Orange pillows will fit the bill. Good thing I don’t have any of those stores in my neck of the woods! I’d be depressed looking at all the stuff I couldn’t have!

I think orange would look great with the denim Baye! You can definitely find pretty fabric or ready made pillows that I’m sure you will love. And yes, going to this store, while fun and inspirational, can be depressing too! lol

As I was saying in my other comment on the wrong post…..
Normally I don’t like the color orange, but it is growing on me. I find it very attractive as an accent color like in your pics above.
I just don’t like when all orange walls, orange floor & orange couches give me that ’70s flashback feeling!
Doreen@househoneys says
I completely agree Sarah! Small doses is just about right for me.
Carol Cook says
I am a primary color girl, but since I bring in green also, I guess I could throw in some orange.
For me, it isn’t Lillian August. I would like to be able to shop at Maine Cottage Furniture.
Cindy says
Wow, so many pretty things! Wouldn’t it be great to shop without thinking about the wallet…I can see why you like this place! Amaze Me Monday is up, please come join.
Blessings,
Cindy
