Lately, we've been crushing on everything orange. And we're not alone - the décor world has been loving on this hot hue too. From pillows and throws to art and lamps, orange accents mix with neutrals for a vibrant (and energizing) color palette. The best part? A little orange goes a long way, so decorating with this hue is simple. Try an apricot lamp to brighten things up or roll out an orange and gold-flecked carpet to warm floors.

For this and other fresh ideas on home décor, check out our favorite orange accents from Rue La La's On the Home Front: A Burst of Orange Boutique. The boutique opens at 11 AM ET TODAY. Sign up now so that you're ready to go right at 11 AM when the boutique doors open.

Yoga Journal and Social Workout invite you to join the 2012 21-Day Yoga Challenge. On Monday, 20,000-plus yogis across the country will set out to practice yoga daily for three weeks. That's a lot of asana, and we're banding together to make sure we actually walk the walk, or, um, pose the pose. Yoga Journal will supply a daily diet of free video classes with an all-star crew of teachers. You supply the sun salutations, and track your progress at Social Workout's challenge headquarters. Join the informal Apartment Therapy team, and you can see how AT stacks up against the fearsome Huffington Post yoga squad, and/or find out (OMG!) which of your fellow design lovers unroll their mats across fine Turkish kilims vs. colorful FLOR tiles! There will be cool prizes for heroic efforts from big sponsors like Zevia, and we hope you'll join us!

Many designers like to push the envelope by considering fun and whimsical colors in unexpected places, and no one is doing this better right now than Jonathan Adler. So when I found out that the folks at Cottonelle had asked him to design the brand's spring collection of toilet paper roll covers, I was NOT surprised and was totally looking forward to working with him again.
