I have a new found love for color. Black and white are safe and easy and, unfortunately, my usual choice. *Yawn* Boring, right? I've decided to be brave and bold and give color a chance. I hesitantly purchased the most fabulous salmon colored sun dress. I was afraid of its punch but I think I may have actually pulled it off... well, I felt comfortable in it, anyway. So I've decided to stop living life as a wall flower and to do something unheard of. I'm going to step away from the neutrals. I know. Scary.
And so for the next few days I am going to be doing a series I've so cleverly titled, Living In Color. I believe that the things you surround yourself with, specifically your clothing and home decor, say a lot about you. So what do you say? Should we all liven ourselves up a bit?
In walks inspiration: Let's call it Living in Color. I will feature different colored rooms every few days and we can all daydream and plan for the future. I know, I know. I am so creative you can hardly stand it. Feel free to play along and we'll see if we can liven our souls up a little bit. Maybe we can do clothes next. Anyone in? Just do a Living In Color post on your own blog and let me know about it so I can let everyone else know too.
Pink will obviously be first. Duh.
I love getting ideas on how to tastefully do pink. You can go wrong quite easily with this color. We don't want our bedrooms to look like a four year old designed them, that would be tragic. I'm not sure how well decorating our family room in pink would go over with the manly hubby but I think it would be a great option for a guest room or a dressing room off of the master. Here are a few ideas on pink rooms for grown ups.
I love the gold mirror in this first image. I think it goes well with the pink. I adore the zebra rug. I was sold on the idea of zebra rugs by one of my favorite blogs, Corte De Texas.
Source unknownI like the subtlety of the pink in these next two room. It's very romantic. And those ruffles are so feminine, don't you think?
This is my favorite pink room. I think it is so fresh and modern. The pink chairs have such a great shape.
I can't wait to see your favorite pink rooms. Have fun!

What a great dress........what great pink rooms.
Thank you so much for taking the time to pop over, browse around and comment on my posts. I look forward to returning and looking around. :)
love the color theme. I have the same problem. i can never committ to a color. i hardly have any painted rooms in the house. maybe i should follow in your footsteps... Great idea. I will keep a look out for my fav-o-rite pink rooms.
sidenote: are you still wanting to set up a give-a-way with Kiki & Lele? We would love to put you on the books. E-mail me at kikiandlele@yahoo.com if you do not mind to set up....
You are seriously so cute I want to cry. I LOVE your blogs. If only I could transport those photos into real life with a wave of my hand or a wiggle of my nose. (I'll start practicing). I tried a pink bedroom once. It didn't sit to well with the husband. But some day I might just have to try again. What's that saying about begging for forgiveness instead of asking for permission?
P.S. Can I go sailing with you next time? Take pity on a poor girl from Idaho. ;)
I totally just mistyped "to" instead of "too" in my comment. And it won't let me change it. Arghhhh!!!
Now I look like a poor ILLITERATE girl from Idaho! Does that make you want to take me sailing even more???? Because if so, I could mistype and misspell more often. :)
OMG, that second room is too much! It's beautiful. I love the huge venetian mirror, white-washed color, and that ruffled bedspread is just gorgeous!
Okay, I have a question that is off-topic. How did you go about advertising on your site? Are you using one of those ad networks or did you seek out sponsors? Thanks!
what georgeous rooms! I also like the one that you said was your fav...and now that I think about it, I have a pink chair in my den, the rest of the room is earth tones. I bought the chair at an estate sale, it is a very old chair, and needs to be re-upholstered in a new pink!
