Orange You Glad?

Rather than do another awkward, self-photographed outfit post, (yikes!), I decided to focus on decor and furniture shopping. Orange you glad about that? I am too funny ;) For couch shopping, it was really hard to find a couch that suited both our needs (he needs a big couch because he's a big guy and I wanted a couch that wasn't over-stuffed and depressing) but we came out okay:
Sorry for the bad lighting, but we don't have any lamps yet!
Also, the pillows came with the couch.....they will be changed! ;)

The new brown chenille couch is cozy and delightful, but such a big, dark piece of furniture needs some brightness to balance it out. I naturally gravitate towards blue because it is a favorite color, and orange would be a great third color to add some pop to the room. I think I have already made it clear that I like abstract prints in bright colors (that post here), so I am sure you won't be surprised when you see what oranges have been inspiring me:








Any suggestions for what to do with the giant brown couch? What is inspiring you this week?
Happy Monday!
