Oooooh Pink!



Oh dear! I'm so in love with pink right now, it's just ridiculous! I don't really know how it happened - it really did just creep up on me.... After all, I think it's fair to say that I absolutely did detest pink for the longest time - it was either too baby girl, too vibrant, too feisty, too subdued - never quite right. And, well, you all only know too well that I simply can't live with it! But lately, pink has just been rocking my socks off - in the most decorative way, of course.... And so, this Sunday eve, some pink to ponder!

I know what you mean. Pink was not a colour a liked until recently and now cannot get enough of it. Although I am currently having a yellow obsession!

As someone who spent a good part of my life living in a fairy floss pink painted house I have also had a major aversion to pink once I moved out of home. But I am really attracted to pinks with any hint of yellow in them. Watermelon, corals, and even peach - love them!

I'm a huge fan of pink - these pics are absolutely gorgeous. I'll have that chair in the top pic, and I've gotta say, I LOVE that yellow door in the top pic too!!

I'm a pink lover as well, S. I've used it for my new home office in a masc-meets-fem style scheme. Hope you are having a lovely weekend!

Yeah, I too was over pink, especially baby pink, pretty pink as my old business logo was all girly and pretty in pink. Now that I have had a break from it, hot pink is starting to fire me up too. I started with a handbag.. thought that was safe. A-M xx

I LOVE it when people use pink when they decorate!! Not many do. Wish I had the guts to ;-)

Shannon, I'm a PINK tragic. I try to get over it when it's not in fashion but I can't help myself. I feel happy in a pink cardigan and a pink room.

I'll take hot pink and the more purple shades of pink, just keep me away from baby pink! LOL
Enjoyed seeing your July 27 post. That overhead light fixture is so cool!

Pink is very Soothing. Everyone knows that it's the International Colour for Comfort. Good to see you're on board.

I love these vibrant pinks! You have to be so careful with pink, lest it look too babyish, but these spaces are just lovely. I would love to do our guest room all in pinks, have to see what my husband says! XO!
