Color Combination: Orange & Navy Blue

Welcome back! Hope you all had a super weekend! The weather has been insanely HOT here, like 106 degrees....I walk out & I'm slowly roasting. It's crazy...

Something else that's HOT these days is color. I'm seeing a resurgence of bright & neon colors all over the web..... so it's safe to say, color is VERY much 'IN' right now.  From home decor, to artwork to fashion....color is everywhere!
 
Two colors I've always loved TOGETHER are navy blue & orange.  These colors are always beautiful if done right...meaning, I don't think it can be pulled off by just anyone. It takes SKILL & vision to create harmony with these colors. 
I came across this cottage on Style at Home that I thought did it PERFECTLY!! 

Don't you think?
 





And you? Do you like the blue & orange combination?
