Manassas Battlefield Fall Photos

Beautiful fall day -- wonderful that all this history and beauty is practically in our backyard.  I would love to do a horseback tour of the battlefield sometime...  From our Manassas Battlefield hike this morning:

With the all the headstones,  it seems right that Halloween is just around the corner...

PLC Pasino Multi-light Pendant

Still looking for that elusive light that will be just right for our eating area...

Considering this halogen multi-light pendant for over the kitchen table:

... seems like it would probably work with the rest of the kitchen as well:

Recurring Themes: Burnt-Orange

Burnt-orange is a recurrent favorite which I seem to have been drawn to over the years:

The rug in my family room has several areas with this color in the design:

 

The suede pillows in my family room, depending on the light, are a shade somewhere between coral and burnt-orange:

A bowl of potpourri  in my living room adds a nice pop of orange color:

Some favorite William Morris prints:

Color combination II: Wall and Rug:

I like the burnt orange color of Farrow and Ball's paint, Terre D'Egypte so much that it keeps coming into my thoughts, and I have been thinking of how I could use it in my house...Here is Farrow and Ball's paint, Terre D'Egypte, and Karastan's rug from the English Manor House collection, Cambridge, which although not my exact dining room rug (because Karastan does not make that anymore), is pretty close to it:

 

Color Combination: Wall and Rug

Interesting idea for a color combination -- paint by Farrow and Ball, rug from Madeline Weinrib:
