Orange and Cottage Style....um?

I know that the color of year according to Pantone is Tangerine Tango......so in my mind its a bright orange.  Not one that I currently have in my house and not one that really goes with my style.  Or so I thought. 

My style is most definitely "cottage style" and maybe a touch on the traditional side. I am not sure that orange would work with "me".  But before I jumped to conclusions I decided to search and see what I could find that was orange and "cottagey". 

There was much more out there than I thought and I liked a lot of it.  Maybe not enough to redo a room in my house, but I liked it nonetheless.

Here is what I found:



I really liked this living room with its touches of orange combined with fuchsia.  Just enough I think!!





This room is so very coastal.  I loved all the texture and just small pops of color.



The orange and periwinkle pillows were what drew me in here.




This one is by far my favorite.  It looks so calm and serene.  Now, this room is one I may recreate!!

I should add that all photos are from pinterest.  It was fun to see how I could make this color work with my style!!

What do you think?
