This week I'm using my pink and orange combo in a decor item. I found a rug at HomeGoods that I loved on sight, and was the inspiration for the color challenge.
The rug was 96 inches long, and was a bit too long for the space. I cut it down so that it fit just inside the room, and hot glued the edges under.
There was a big piece of rug left over....this seems like it could be a wall decor item, doesn't it? I think it will go on the wall over the towel rack, once I figure out if I should frame it or mount it.
Next week I'll be using pink and orange paint. Nothing like an orange toilet to perk up a room.
I forgot to mention last week that at the end of this challenge there will be a linky party where you can show everyone how you added color to your room!
