"Thefarmersdaughter" has been busy (or rather, bored) and decided to paint an orange accent wall in her place. She posted an image of the part-orange room and wants to know what others think about the color.
Thoughts??

Like it. Great color.
Now hang the art to the left of the door on it.
i really really dig it! i've been wanting to do an orange wall - like a sunsetty-pumpkinny-coppery color. got that? ;)
Like it alot. Maybe moo-ve the cow and put that credenza up against the wall and hang art, as per P(too)'s advice.
I third P2.
I like orange and brown together, nice! The place needs a cleanin' and a straightenin' up though.
i dig it. it balances the dark curtain quite nicely!
Love it! It ties the room together very well.
thanks everyone - that's my room up there. That color is "paprika" from the Eddie Bauer line at Lowes. It was leftover from my office re do. I think I like it too, and I love the thought of putting the artwork from the left of the door on that wall (in a new frame though). I can't believe I didn't think of that Patrick!
There were notes on the Flicker photo that explained the desk against the door was moved there to paint the wall , and the crap on the table was moved there to paint. I normally am not that messy. Really.
I think a nice big white mat around the artwork would really set it and the orange wall off nicely once you move it over. Maybe with a narrow blond-wood frame?
love it.
really like it. my baby boy's room has a wall exactly that colour (the opposite wall is lime green, other two white!!!)
it's the kind of colour which adds warmth and cosiness to a room
Reminds me of my previous apartment, where I took inspiration from an Hermes box.
Great job! I fourth P(t.o.o.)'s suggestion to move the art to the newly orange wall. Perhaps a few more pieces wouldn't hurt? Maybe a cluster of mirrors?
It's simply begging for something to be hung against it!
