Do you love orange but are intimidated by it? If so, you're not alone. Although orange is an exhilarating color, it's also intense! 2Modern gives us some ideas on how to tame orange while retaining all its lusciousness. Their suggestion is adding another color to orange by tinting, shading or muting it. To see what they mean--and to view more pictures--visit this page.

I've had orange touches for a while but I just bought some orange upholstery fabric today to recover a low, rectangular ottoman. Also, in an adjoining room, I've just polished up an old desk chair with a chrome base and I'm covering it with some cool mod orange fabric with tiny little red circles. I'm heading into my annual Fall redecorating trip.

I really like using orange in my home. I find it's the perfect compliment to modern decor. I love these pendant lights on YLighting.com: Powell Street Pendant (http://www.ylighting.com/tec-2kd-700tdpsp24.html) and Twisted Drop Pendant (http://www.ylighting.com/brs-lj-twister-drop.html) - both are very affordable

That's very ultra cool.  I've never done much with orange.  I'd like to though.  Definitely gave me some ideas.  Have a great weekend.  Cheers!
